Inexplicable losses?

Dunno about that one. Broner was undefeated at that time but in my mind he lost to Ponce De Leon and Malignaggi as well. Odds had Broner a clear favourite but I didn’t really see it that way. I thought it was a 50-50 fight and looking back it’s clear Maidana was just a better, more focused, bigger and stronger fighter. I thought he beat malignaggi. Never seen the Ponce de Leon fight, and I never heard of Maidana until after the fight.

It's like some horses can't run on a wet track maybe but yeah, that was a stunner To me that just shows wear and tear catches up to everyone. He had almost 100 fights and a lot of them were stay busy fights but training camps, sparring and the fact you’re still getting hit takes a toll on these guys. Hopefully now that fighters are being paid more we can see them retire rather than having boxing retire them.

Pongsaklek Wonjongkam vs Sonny Boy Jaro. I challenge anyone to find one that tops this. Absolutely unbelievable result. It's like some horses can't run on a wet track maybe but yeah, that was a stunner

Khan Vs Prescott. Greedy Frank Warren decided to make this non title bout PPV. Was just meant to be a showcase for Khan till a Prescott jab shook him to his boots. Then he got KTFO. Glass jaw was born.

Mosley is one of the most overrated fighters ever. He has 1 good win against De la Hoya, and an alright win against Margarito (who only has one good win against Cotto, which has an asterisk next to it). I picked Forrest to win that fight. I think a better fight for this thread is Forrest vs Mayorga. That was a shocker. I watched that fight the other day. As soon as Vernon came in with the artist during the ring walk right after getting that 6 fight HBO deal, I knew he was going to have trouble. He was pressing too hard to impress in front of his home crowd and got drawn into a slugfest.

Camacho vs Haugen great choice, fight was absolute bs...the ref was ass too

In this sport of boxing sometimes we see very surprising results. I'm not talking just about robbery either. I'll give 3 examples of fights where I think the results are damned near inexplicable. 1. Mosely Vs. Forrest Why did Forrest seem to have Mosely's number? I thought clearly Mosely was the superior fighter but I guess not, at least in those fights 2. Roy Jones Jr Vs Tarver Again I feel like RJJ was the better overall fighter, what happened? 3. Bhop Vs Taylor? C'mon! Bhop dominated the MW division for 10 years straight. Taylor deposed Bhop and then almost immediately flamed out! Wtf? What do you guys think happened and can you name some more "surprise results" that probably shouldn't have happened? Tarver was the better boxer, and showed that in three fights. Wasn't a coincidence.

I don't really think anything of it. Leija and Molina are the only noteworthy guys he fought there and they were both past their best. I guess Shaq was a decent win. Fair, I thought he was fantastic at Lightweight, and a decent WW who got a gift win against Oscar.

Styles makes fight.

What about his time at lightweight? I don't really think anything of it. Leija and Molina are the only noteworthy guys he fought there and they were both past their best. I guess Shaq was a decent win.

Camacho vs Haugen

So we agree that he got dominated twice by a scrub who also beat him in the amateurs. And I use term "scrub" loosely. Vernon Forrest was certainly a good fighter. The term "scrub" is probably disrespectful and I didn't really mean it that way but I hope you guys can understand what I meant

So we agree that he got dominated twice by a scrub who also beat him in the amateurs. Absolutely!

Broner vs maidana

Shane was slick and sharp in his younger days. I pulled him up on wiki and took a screenshot of the overview and wanted to post it but I guess it isn't that easy. Shane enjoyed a period of being ranked #1 p4p. I don't recall Forrest enjoying that same level of success. Whether or not Shane was overrated surely Forrest was a scrub in comparison So we agree that he got dominated twice by a scrub who also beat him in the amateurs.
