I was a kid but Tyson vs Douglas was world news. People still talk about it today.
not really embarrassing though. douglas fought a great fight and tyson didnt look that bad. he also had douglas almost out and it was a real competitive fight with tyson leaving it all in the ring and going out on his shield. joshua got intimidated, bullied and rolled over.
douglas-tyson was a bigger upset, but not really embarrassing at all.

what a ****** prick you are. Vitali tore his shoulder and was out of the game for a while. are you saying byrd could have beat Vitali? did Vitali quit against Lewis??
no, and that's why his loss to lewis isn't embarrassing. but he did quit against byrd, nobody is saying it was for no reason, we all know he was injured but this is boxing. the fact that he was dominating makes it more embarrassing, not less. until he proved himself later on the whole world thought he was soft (for a fighter), and at the time they were right to think so.
being that hyped up, fighting a guy he is favored to beat by massive odds, a guy bear in mind who fought as low as 175(!) while vitali is a giant, dominating and the suddenly giving in from pain of an injury.. yes, that was embarrassing.
not knocking vitali, he came back, overcame it and proved himself an improved fighter and eventually a great champion. but that loss really was embarrassing at the time.

Ali losing to a 6-0-1 Spinks.
ali was way past his prime by then, the fact that he was a shell of himself mitigates most oif not all of the embarassment imo. like rjj losing to enzo., it wasn't embarassing, just sad.
Your thread? I know, you got clowned in it pretty damn hard.
you have been A.J got embarrassed..you rode for him by all means so i know it hurts..but he might be remembered in history for the wrong reason now man
