I'm trying to think of the name, but dude was getting ready to have a big money fight against De La Hoya and blew it by getting owned by his tune up.

Can't recall the name right now.

Going back a bit, but SRL's comeback fight against Kevin Howard didnt go too well for him. He looked like crap, tasted the canvas and didnt fight again until offered an absolutely enormous sum to face Hagler three years later.

Ortiz blew a big fight against Canelo by losing to the seemingly undermatched Lopez. Can't really blame him though, the red headed one posses some crazy omen against future opponent.

ray mercer\jesse ferguson is one of them. he allegedly offered him $100000 to take a dive because he had a title shot lined up vs Bowe. he lost out on millions.

it should have been: Zaheer Raheem vs Erik Morales.

My mind is completely blank right now but who was the guy that was going to fight Floyd, he was talking nonstop ***** and lost i believe on the same card as Floyd?

I think this was Judah's loss to Baldomir. But Kirkland's loss to Ishida was also pretty surprising

Vivian Harris on the Floyd/Gatti under card. He got his ass whipped by Maussa.

Or am I wrong?
