    Chavez was worse. He was expected to beat Silva while people expected Vitor to beat Holyfield.

    People didn't feel embarrassed for Holyfield. They just felt bad for the old guy, while boxing fans were really ashamed of Chavez.

      Julio Cesar Chavez was a good win for nelo. So that is bad for credibility of boxing to lose to a mm a guy! Boxers usually not respect mma and say they weren't good enough to make it in boxing so took up mm a as a result... that mm a fighters are failed boxers

        Holyfield staggering all round the ring like a drunk was worse on the eye tho. It was sad to see
        Very very to sad to see Holyfield lose in the manner he did but after 1 minute of reflection i immediately thought Mike Tyson should get in the ring with Holy and avenge his 2 losses . Tyson losing broke my heart as a child and I've never liked Holyfield as a result but I've always respected him

          Paulie Malignaggi Losing to Artem Lobov in a bare knuckle fight.
          Problem is, as I told everyone at the time, it should have been obvious Paulie would lose that.

          Chavez Jr.? Nobody saw that coming. Spider Silva is old and never that good as a boxer.

            Holyfields was just sad all round.


            That picture of Haye is hilarious. He’s genuinely that desperate too.

              I think that ship may have sailed for that fight, its not going yo be easy to buy into any ppv evanders involved in . I don't think we have seen the last of tyson though

                JCC jr of course. The guy got outlanded by almost double vs an MMA fighter 12 years his senior who was KO'd with punches in his last UFC fight like 6 months earlier and was 2-7 since his career decline began almost a decade ago.


                The Paulie loss was bad too because A) he talked so much **** leading up to the fight and B) Artem is an absolute ****ing bum.

                  - -Field being touted as the great champion whereas nobody ever touted Jr as the great champ. Vitor has less than a full round of ring experience near 15 years ago, so of course the grand champ was the fav.

                  1st Field almost knocks himself out of the ring with a missed swing, and then almost slides butte first out of the ring with the first KD. He was gonna unify the titles but forgot his walker...yeah, right...and now he's begging for the Tyson fight. The shame of the shameless is Infinite.

                  Jr took a beating on his feet, but since everyone tends to hate him from his inception, of course haters gonna hate, but his pop supports him.

                    How in the FCK is an old man who's been out of boxing since forever be more embarrassing than an active MUCH YOUNGER guy ????
