Biggest "tune up" disasters

[NearHypnos]

Not to discredit him and his record but yes he was..I mean Cotto wins and his fights Canelo right??

Most people wondered if Cotto had it in him to beat a big, strong, YOUNG fighter... Not a tuneup at all.


Was Mosley considered a sacrifiial lamb vs marg? That kind of seemed the case.


The Maussa vs Vivian Harris one does come to mind as Harris was starting to get some hype. Emanuel Steward was big on him.

tommy morrison vs michael bentt was the first one that jumped to mind.



"and there goes morrison's eight million dollar payday."

The only one I can think of that kinda fits the criteria is Tyson-Mcbride. Mcbride was supposed to be a 'stepping stone' for Tyson's next title run. As we all know, Kevin "im a contender, not a pretender," ended that run pretty quick

Can't believe I forgot the biggest tune up disaster of all time; Tyson-Douglas.

Do we count Frazier-Foreman? Not really, I suppose.

Mind you, I did once get sucked off by Joe.

I don't know if these are tune ups rather than "set ups" but Zab baldomir. Also Tito bhop cost tito the roy jones fight and like 20 mil.

I murder green teefs for this sort of talk.

Jokes aside, I do love Joe to pieces.

He was great in bed though. He was smokin'.
