    Your Favorite Fighter's Most Painful Defeat

    That is, emotionally painful to you. Which defeat makes you wince to this day, upon recollection?

    For me it was Muhammad Ali's first defeat courtesy of Joe Frazier and Roberto Duran's "no mas" against Sugar Ray Leonard. The latter made more painful by the shattered image of Duran as the embodiment of machismo, courage and unrelenting determination...

    When Lewis got KO'd by Rahman. I felt flatter than a witches tit afterwards.

            When Tyson quit against McBride, it was an era definitley over. I was always kidding myself that Tyson would get back in the picture but that fight shown he had nothing left to give.
            When he said "I don't have the stomach for this anymore. I most likely won't fight anymore. I'm not going to disrespect the sport by losing to this caliber of fighter". I thought that was one of the most brutally honest lines from a fighter ever, no bull**** that he had flu or something, the guy told the truth.

                  Now this is a good topic.....

                  For me it would have to be Holyfield getting rocked by James Toney. I don't think Evander threw one combo the entire fight, it was a sad, sad sight. He was totally defenseless
