Best loudmouth silencings.

[Steak]

Ali-Frazier 1.

Nothing better than that.

Ali talking to Fraizer like he's nothing, overwhelming arrogance. For Fraizer to put it on him (Ali sure didn't go down without a fight though) was just great.

That KD, sheer beauty.

Ali aying something onlong the lines of; "There is no chance he beats me" "If Joe Fraizer beats me I will bow to him and call him the greatest"

Quite frustrating he actually didn't do that, to any extent. Infact, he did quite the opposite.

Especially all the 'Uncle Tom' ****. I mean, grow up.

But yeah that's the best one, for me.

that feels like the ultimate 'silencing' to me as well, good call.

I always found DLH Mayorga to be a good one too. or Mayorga vs anyone he lost to, but overall DLH probably kicked his ass the worst.

Watching the Barrera/McKinney fight got me to thinking that my favourite kind of fight is where some rude loudmouth is made to eat his words. What are the best examples of this through the years? I'd like to see more.

For me, Duran-Leonard 2. Making Duran actually quit is the ultimate embarrassment. Winding up with a right hand bolo and then catching Duran with a stiff left had to be humiliating for Duran. Leonard clowned him in that fight. I like watching it especially because of the classless way Duran acted after the first fight.

Barrera-Hamed

If I recall correctly that was the first instance where Hamed did not trash talk before the fight. It was mentioned often leading up to the fight and they made mention that it was a sign of "How serious Hamed is taking Barrera."

I remember everything leading up to that fight like it was yesterday.

dlh vs vargas. he called him peter pan and said he wasnt a real mexican

Can't believe I forgot about that. I remember that like it was yesterday. I couldn't stand Vargas! That was a satisfying fight for me to enjoy.

How about


Nobody trash talked as cool as Tyson.

[Pessimistic]

Cosign Carlos! Tyson was the man when it came to talking trash. Move over Floyd!

That really is a classic example you can't really top. The Cotto-Margarito rematch will probably have good potential to be brought up here, because you know during the hype Cotto's side will bring up plaster a lot.

tyson may or may not have been blowing wind in the build up to the fight with lewis.
he was certainly, on some level, acting in character to promote the event, and cast himself as a villain.


but he bit lewis on the leg
threatened to eat his children
nobody told lennox at the time that this was all part of promoting the fight



lennox shut him up something serious.
he gave him an extended beating




edison miranda was talking a boatload of **** to jermain taylor before his fight with kelly pavlik

pavlik, of course, derailed his opportunity to back his words up
and silenced him

All the ones mentioned so far are good. A more recent example on a lower level would be the Molina-Lundy fight from last year on ESPN. That was a very satisfying outcome.
