    Biggest fall from grace this year: Kovalev, Chocolatito, or Rigondeaux?

    All 3 guys had that aura of invincibility at one time. They looked sensational, knocking out guys, and struck fear on fighters even to the point of being avoided. It was as if they couldn't be beat at any stage.
    They then end up with the one fighter who simply just took their soul away, never to be seen the same way again. Who do you think fell from grace the worst this year? Who will be remembered the most for their loss?

    Rigo was a big underdog, lost to P4P top fighter.
    Kovalev was a slight underdog, lost to P4P top fighter.
    Gonzalez was a massive favourite, lost to a guy nobody had ever heard of.

    Got to be Gonzalez.

      Guillermo Rigondeaux for me. Talked loads of trash, *****ed about so many fighters. Just a very bitter individual. Two-time Olympic gold medallist and apparently and ATG, depending on who you listened to. Not fan friendly at all, no charisma, can't speak English, and no interest in rectifying any of those faults. Got mad that nobody would give him a big payday based solely from the hype. When he did finally get the chance he got exposed embarrassingly. I'd be surprised if we ever see his face again.

        How does Kovalev getting low blowed with a biased ref jumping in to stop the fight compare to Choco getting put to sleep and Rigo just quitting on his chair? These two possibly got their soul taken, but Kovalev is gonna keep on winning. Ward’s fighting sould seemed to have been taken away after 20 rounds with Kova, that’s for sure.

          Kovalev was looking for a way out, he basically quit.

              I'm gonna say Rigondeaux. He just b1tched in a fight because he was getting outclassed. Yeah he was in with a bigger man, other fighters have been. It wasn't like he was getting a savage beating, he was being outclassed. This is a guy people said is the most talented fighter in boxing, which i never thought anyway.


              Chocolatito has had a big fall from grace but what happened to him is part of the game. I actually thought the first fight was the correct decision but he got up of the floor to make it a close fight. Second fight he got smashed but so what? that's boxing and it happens. His opponent was a dangerous fighter that just has his number. Better to go out on your shield than quit in the corner because you're simply being embarrassed.
