Seeing "Tache-man" beat Hoya hurt.

Larry Holmes-Muhammed Ali tops them all in saddest fight I've seen in my life.

A former great who was just a shell by then against a guy at the top of his game.

Manny/Oscar was pretty sad. Berbick/Ali and Ali/Holmes were also hard to watch.

If any fight should've been stopped 4 rounds earlier, it was that one.
I remember thinking damn this is a beating.

Johnson didn't win a round and was taking big punishment with no chance to win.
That was in retrospect worse than the Ali-Holmes fight.

[Southpaw16BF]

Julio Cesar Chavez/Meldrick Taylor
Muhhamed Ali/Larry Holmes
Ezzard Charles/Sam Baroudi
Aaron Pryor/Bobby Joe Young
Henry Armstrong/Fritzie Zivic 2
Floyd Mayweather/Arturo Gatti
Barry McGuigan/Young Ali
Ray Robinson/ Jimmy Doyle
Roberto Duran/William Joppy
Wilfred Benitez/Pat Lawlor
Ray Leonard/Hector Chamacho
Chris Eubank/Michael Watson

Lots more, but these are all very sad fights.

Pintor/Owen is the saddest fight I've ever seen.. (Owen tragically died after being KO'd late) His parents were interviewed shortly before the fight & they seemed like really nice people.. I know that Pintor visits their home in Merthyr (Wales) every year on the aniversary of his death.. (Big respect)
