Hard L's ranked.

Tyson fanatics were rough too. They still run that whole "If Cus lived, if he didn't break from Jacobs and ff the sun tilted at this angle, Mike wore this lotion and took this exact time walking to the ring then nobody in history can touch him." I remember them before he fought Lewis (and I like Mike more than Lennox) making threats if you thought Lewis could win and then a meltdown afterwards.

Yes, I have a lot blocked. When a fighter means more to a person than the sport then that's a problem and leads to radical fanboyism. I am a huge Tito Trinidad fan and his fans were like this too.

The worst from my experience have been: Mayweather, Pacquaio, Wilder, Tyson, Jones, Golovkin, Joshua, Canelo and (sadly I have to admit) Trinidad.

I get the Tyson fans with the "what if" because I like to think of "What if he didn't fire Rooney?" or "What if Cus lived longer" but ****, there are people that still bring up a slow count against Douglas.

And agreed. I'm a fan of some fighters and I still block their fans for being homers lol

Most of the Wilder threads are made by alts, so it's hard to even know if they're wilder fans making awful excuses, or wilder haters just stirring the pot.

Its definitely wilder haters trying to stir the pot. Cobra and Curt Henning are both banned so maybe its them but I doubt it. I saw Ric made a thread about the gloves. Now he surely isn't a wilder fan.

With Wilder fans (not boxing fans) taking that L so hard I was wondering if we can put together a top 5 list of the hardest L's in boxing history.

The hardest L ever was probably when Jack Johnson beat Jim Jeffries

Fans of Duran after he quit against Leonard.

I’m old enough to remember. I was a big fan of Duran back then. That one hurt. Still haunts people to this day, even the winner.

You may very well be right. Many whites in America saw that fight as some kind of test of racial superiority. Boxing was also much more popular back then, so a much higher percentage of the population was affected.
