Is Joshua losing to Ruiz the most embarrassing moment

[redmish]

Buster Douglas was an average fighter who was known as a quitter. Tyson was a monster who, apart from Bruno rocking him for a second, looked invincible. This will always be the the most embarrassing defeat.

for any unified heavyweight champ ever??? can anyone post any worst moment?

Wearing diapers.

At least Buster Douglas actually looked like a champion.

6'4", 231 lbs., muscular body, and had wins over guys like Oliver McCall, Randall Cobb, and Trevor Berbick.

He looked ATHLETIC and towered over Mike. He had an 83-inch reach. That's a 12-inch reach advantage over Mike, and a 6-inch height advantage.

Andy looked like the MICHELIN MAN at 268 lbs. He had an 8-inch disadvantage in reach, and a 4-inch disadvantage in height.

Anthony Joshua lost to a little sumo wrestler with man boobs.

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.



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 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.

I disagree on your Vitali take. Pain is part of boxing. Injuries can be something else though. Vitali should not have been expected to possibly end his career by continuing on while injured.

Without question

A fat, visually unimposing schlub of a guy who was a last minute replacement beating up AJ is the definition of embarrassment.

Doesn't get any worse.

Ali losing to a 6-0-1 Spinks.

Embarrassing, but that was Father Time intervening. Ali never touched the mat, and was not stopped. AJ isn't even 30, flattened four times, and was TKO'd. Couldn't recall that he needed to obey the refs instructions to walk forward. Definitely way more embarrasing ...

Ruiz Jr. - Mexican American Snickers Champion stole the shine and multi-million from Wilder. This is a way for Larry to feel salty

Ruiz stole nothing from Wilder, but he took a lot from Joshua. hearn cherry-picked Ruiz, lol. Ruiz kicked his ace and sent him home confused.

Wilder couldn't get Joshua anywhere near a fair contract, else he would have beaten Ruiz to him, but so goes boxing. Wilder is rich, getting richer, and laughing at team AJ getting exposed, embarrassed, and sent packing.

Ruiz and Wilder will meet one day (an easy fight to make, thanks PBC). Will be a great fight. Not clear who will be "stealing" from who at that point.

A shame American fighters have no respect for Olympic gold medal winners ... in the ring. LoLoL!
