[Perfect Plex]

Names fights past or present were a fighter talked tons of trash and got beat and in the process got made a fool of and humbled?

Mike Tyson vs Lennox Lewis.
George Foreman didn't really talk trash but, he did become humble.

I think selling the fight is a different scenario. Mike Tyson knew he was most likely going to get pummeled by Lennox Lewis and just talked all that nonsense to maximize the sales.

This thread has been done before and I will use the same example now as I did then. The ultimate, most satisfying humbling I have witnessed is;

Ali Vs Fraizer 1. No question.

No way did Ali humble.

"I'm sure I hit him 3x more than he hit me if you watch the film."
"All black people know I won"
"I am the true champion of the world and YOU ALL shall bow."
"I'm the greatest fighter of all time."
"Fight might not go 2 minutes."
"Come on gorilla make it a thrilla'"

I don't think that's humbling.

I suppose. I don't always see 'humbling' someone as literal statment. People making those excuses after all that trash talk is the epitome of 'humbling' to me.

Making those pathetic excuses after losing is actually worse.

Look at Degale now for example.

George Foreman being another immediate example after Ali.

I see those as humbling.

Frazier could have won by KO in the first round and Ali would still have been a dickhead, that's just who he is.

Very true.
