This year...Is this the most embarrassing moment in boxing history?
What are the top 5 most humiliating boxing defeats (doesn't have to be a knockout)
My top picks
-Mike Tyson after he bit Evander Holyfield's ear and was fined $3 million. Looked like a sore loser although he is one of my fav boxers that was humiliating
-Anthony Mundine (Australian boxer) getting knocked out in 96 seconds after months of hype trash talk and build up
- Wilson’s mother, 62-year-old Minna Wilson, couldn’t bear to witness her son taking a beating any longer so climbed into the ring and began beating McCarthy around the head with her shoe, triggering a riot.
-Everyone remembers this moment from Tyson Fury’s early days. During his fourth professional fight against Lee Swaby, the heavyweight contender became a bit overexcited. Not satisfied with his opponent’s performance, he started hitting himself to make the fight more of a challenge. (embarrassing for the opponent)
WINNER
The scaredy cat
Jerry “Harm’s Way” Hackney was never going to be a world champion. He lost every single one of his eight fights and had one of the most terrible nicknames in boxing history. As if losing all of his fights isn’t embarrassing enough, he performed amazingly badly against George “Da Butcher” Klinesmith.
In the fourth round, Hackney decides he has had enough of a beating so turns his ginger dreadlocks (always a great choice) and runs. He jumps on to the ropes, where Da Butcher “makes mincemeat outta him” by punching him into the crowd. Hackney claims he was “just jogging across the ring”.
GGG V Nelo II.
GGG wanted the Mexican style and backed out of it.Comment

James Kirkland getting stopped in a round by featherfisted Nobuhiro Ishida, who was supposed to be there as a sacrificial lamb for Kirkland. Kirkland at that time was seen as this relentless monster with an undefeated record and to get stopped like that in one round by Ishida is embarrassing. Even more embarrassing was how there wasn't even a Japanese interpreter to translate for Ishida in case he won.
It was that fight that exposed Kirkland what he really was, an unskilled one dimensional brawler with sh#t defense and a shaky chin.Comment

That moment still cracks me up to this day....and he got absolutely blasted up there on the ropes.Comment

Jack Johnson vs Tommy Burns. Burns was the favorite and got slaughtered. When I was looking up the fight I came across this and got a good laugh..
Seemingly confident of his superiority over Johnson, Burns declared: “I will beat Johnson, or my name isn’t Tommy Burns.” Whether he was being ironic at the time will never be known; “Tommy Burns” had in fact been born “Noah Brusso.”
Factor in the racial climate at the time the loser Burns and most of the White spectators were humiliated.Comment

I pointed at that fight when Beterbiev pulled out of the Smith fight last month. If memory serves me right, Kirkland had just fought (and been KD’d hard) about a month before the Ishida fight. This likely had something to do with how easily the first punch dropped him. Artur was smart in taking another month since he had been knocked down.James Kirkland getting stopped in a round by featherfisted Nobuhiro Ishida, who was supposed to be there as a sacrificial lamb for Kirkland.
