Vitali talked about when he watched lewis win his world title is that he would dream on beating him. And that when he watched lewis become undisputed, he would become taking his crown. He also said that he fought the fight a thousand times in his head and woild not go to sleep in the night because je kept on thinking how he would see lewis in the canvass and how the announcer wouls say the words "and the new undisputed heavyweight champion."
Then the results happen. What a devestating loss for Vitali that was...
Eh, nobody really considers that a legit loss.
If anything, Vitali came out of that looking like the much better fighter, and the better man..
Fight was wrongfully stopped, and Lewis PROMISED Vitali a rematch. then BYTCHED OUT and retired.
For all intents and purposes, Vitali beat Lewis.
Fans are taking the sport back. We don't count BS like that.

Lewis cut him up with good punches. Vitali was younger and in better shape and Lewis was running out of gas. Vitali was hurting him more and more each round.. In shape Lewis would've beaten him up easier. Vitali looked like the Terminator with his busted face.

Lomachenko's loss to Salido... it's so devastating that his bunboys overlook it and think he beats atg fighters that did way more in the weights competed than Lomachenko. The loss hurts so bad that they use every excuse to look past it. Weight doe. Too young doe. Lowblows doe. Almost had him at the end doe.

To watch Manny have to have Koncz tell him what to say (and to rub the correct part of his arm), to watch Bob and Freddie, and then to see all the threads and comments, especially after Floyd retired, indicates this loss was extremely devastating.
This was the biggest fight in a generation. This fight caused a lot of discussion, fighting, arguing, much of it disgraceful, racial, and nationalistic, for a very long time. As you can see many of the diehard Manny fans just can't let the loss go.

Manny losing to Floyd no doubt. You had an amazing fan rivalry that was built up for several years. You could not have a more heated fan rivalry. Fight was a dud, but Floyd froze Manny and easily win in an agonizing way for Manny fans. He beat Manny by taking away Mannys work rate which no one thought possible. Manny fans will never recover.
Ali vs Frazier in Manila is a close second.

Another devastating loss; Moorer to Foreman. He had that W in his hand and it still got away from him. All respect to ol George for taking it from him.
