When Tito lost to Hopkins. I felt like my friend got his ass wooped and I couldn't do nothing about it. I really thought that he could have pulled it off. Maybe my Puertorican pride blinded me. Maybe because Trinidad was knocking everybody else out, I thought that he could do the same to Bernard especially since BH threw the P.R. flag on the floor durring a press conference. That was dirty!
1. would be lewis because i talked so much before it and had no doubt he would kill him, and then lewis beat him, i literally cried afterwards.
2. obviously the mcbride and williams losses were worse since there not on the level of lewis, but that lewis fight meant so much. also the williams fight was due to the knee injury tyson received in the first round, and the mcbride fight he was just done and sick of boxing.
3. judah - tszyu fight, still know it was a fluke, he was protesting the stoppage like crazy, if hes able to argue that adamantly with the ref and run around the ring he was defintiely fine to continue.
4.judah - spinks another robbery for judah, at least he got him in the rematch though
5.judah - baldomir of course but i think judah barely pulled that one out to.
6. jones - johnson was the worse cause hes just a nobody
7. tarver-jones 2 was horrible cause it was roys first real loss.
Holmes /Ali has to be the low point. but there are a million "he stayed too long" stories. The "it might have beeen" stories are equally numerous and, in some ways, almost as sad.
I loved watching Howard Davis. He was as good a pure boxer as I've ever seen. His loss to Edwin Rosario on a last second knockdown was heartbreaking. Meldrick taylor/JCC, John Tate/Mike Weaver etc. etc.
Speaking of Rosario brings to mind the tragedies that marked life after boxing for so many of the greats. Boxing is tragic drama.
