[GrandpaBernard]

so much hype so little delivered

[Sweet Pea 50]

Whitaker-Chavez.

[MoneyMayFan]

I got tears in my eyes when floyd dusted the great canelo alvarez.

I think the main one was missing my train home to watch my hometown fighter after the main event in the worst match i have ever seen.

Sprott vs Skelton, July 14th 2007... just no.

[El Angel]

Cotto vs Margarito I stands alone. I remember going through the early rounds thinking, "He's got him. Boxing circles around him. Told everyone in here he was the next P4P king." Late rounds, "He's tired, but he'll make it through." I'll never forget Lampley's call, "And Cotto goes to a knee, succumbing to the pressure much the way Zab Judah succumbed to the pressure against him!" The aftermath and plaster-gate fallout didn't help much. It altered his career forever.

Cotto vs Pacquiao ******. Hard. Cotto vs Mayweather wasn't great, but he fought hard, so I was proud of him. The Trout fight just irritated me the entire time I watched it.

Ortiz losing to Mayweather and Lopez really ****** too. Matthysse losing to Garcia was terrible, the worst recent one.

For me as i am only 32..watching Roy Jones getting ko'd by Tarver in the 2nd round and then put to sleep by Glenn Johnson...and Tyson go from the baddest man on the planet to losing to people like Danny Williams and Mcbride..it is hard to see an unbeatable force start losing to journeyman and the journeyman bragging about it

What about Mayweather ducking?

[- Ram Raid -]

I find Louis being knocked out by Marciano very difficult to watch.

In my lifetime, Crawford Ashley being knocked out by Ole Klemetsen is the first to spring to mind. It's not that I was a fan as such, but the nature of the knockout coupled with how foolhardy Ashley had been in the run-up has always stuck with me.

How bad Holyfield looked against Moorer in their first fight. His redemption in the second fight and the fights against Tyson, his whole career really, being tainted by the knowledge that he's a drugs cheat. Misplaced faith and admiration.

Sitting watching Margarito drop Cintron four times and thinking, 'this makes no sense to me'. Finding out exactly why it made perfect sense. Loving a sport so corrupt and devoid of morals that he would be rewarded with massive paydays after being caught with loaded wraps.

Frank Bruno's battle with mental illness and after selling millions of copies off his back, The Sun's headline of 'Bonkers Bruno'.

Worst of all though, Ricky Hatton's psychological reaction to defeat. He's convinced he let us down after the love and support we invested in him, not realising what he gave us in return and the pride that we'll always have in him. If he was the failure that he thinks he is, he would never have dared to aim so high in the first place. It's a shame he can't acknowledge that.

[Beercules]

Cotto Margo 1
Pac Marquez 4- LoL I got drunk as hell after and almost got into like 3 fights.

I was truly butt hurt. Oh well hahahaha

[LeG00N]

Floyd faking a retirement to avoid a stacked welterweight division and then ducking Pac when he finally came back was a depressing moment for the sport of boxing.

It will never be forgotten.

this and when he came back to cherry pick lightweights, old fighters and green fighters with catchweights while still ducking Pac

[El_Forklift]

floyd not fighting Pac in the pinnacle of Pacs career.


recent: Marquez loosing to Bradley
