    Fight people like to pretend didn't happen

    1) Trout vs Cotto: a run-off-the-mill boxer type southpaw with no power beating the 4 division champ, best-of-his-era ATG? No way!

    2) Dawson vs Hopkins II. The top 10 ATG ageless wonder losing to someone like Dawson? Can't be true.

    3) Maidana vs Devon and Khan: the unstoppable little tank who "beat" Floyd Mayweather lost to these two bums? Impossible. (The Kotelnik loss is less problematic because no one actually saw it and it was in Germany so they can just say it was a robbery.)

    Timothy Bradley vs Joel Casamayor - It's like this fight never existed. People say that Bradley turned down Khan to face Pacquaio and conveniently leave out that what he actually did was sit on the sidelines for months and then face a shot to ****, drug addled Casamayor. All before luckily getting the Pacquaio fight a year after he initially refused to fight Khan.

    Adonis Stevenson vs Forfarna - Similar situation. The Haymon fantards will claim Stevenson turned down Kovalev to face Hopkins, leaving out this joke fight and the fact that he's not even facing Hopkins now

      Probably going to hurt feelings here but marg vs pac. Cotto fans claim cotto retired margs but he was a shell looking for money at that point after pac annihilated him. Even then it was a close fight.

        I came in to say Dawson-Hopkins 2 but got beat to the punch. Dawson pretty much schooled B-Hop. The pieces are in place for Hopkins to unify 175 right now, but it's hard to forget that he would've never gotten past Bad Chad if Stevenson didn't remove him from the equation.

              That's a good one. And seeing the type of fighters Hopkins has chosen to fight after...that loss stands out.

                Khan Prescott - WTF?! That's all that needs to be said about that.
                Tyson McBride - Again, WTF?!
