Lewis coming back to Africa as a "great heavyweight" like he was Ali or something and gets flattened by a bum at the peak of his career coming off his best year (2000).
They promoted it like Lewis was Ali coming to Zaire to fight Ali except Lewis was like a 25/30-1 favorite. Got flattened in his prime for the second time by a bum dispelling the myth of his greatness right in his prime.

Pavlik vs. Hopkins
Was supposed to be a showcase fight for Pavlik against the past prime Hopkins who looked his age against Calzaghe earlier that year. Hopkins ended up schooling Pavlik the whole fight and his career never recovered afterwards.
And the worst thing about the whole thing was hearing Hopkins talking about "taking souls" again. Old corny bastard.

Lomachenko-Salido
One of the most experienced and probably the most prepared amateur in history decides to turn pro. Has 6 WSB fights which are pro fights disguised as semi-pro (fighters are paid and same rules as pro fights). So he can prepare and fool the casuals/morons into thinking he still had 0 pro fights. Signs a contract with Arum and is promised a title shot in his 2nd fight. WBO is paid off and he has the opportunity to win a title in his so called 2nd fight (really his 8th to non casuals/morons) against cherry picked opponent. Gets outfought in the fight against the big underdog and loses.
The guy had everything laid out for him, the easiest possible route and lost. Epic Fail.
What's yours?
Loma didn't win the fight or the title against Salido, but he won the respect and admiration of both fans and boxing insiders by not pulling out when Salido came in overweight and fighting a clean, couragous fight against a much more experienced man who outweighed him by 11lbs in the ring.
He came through everything Salido could throw at him, including multiple fouls, and was dominating and battering the bigger man around the ring by the end.
Salido never lived that shamefull performance down and Loma went from strength to strength afterwards, winning multiple title fights in 2 divisions.
Career enhancing performance by Loma .. epic fail by you.
