What's the saddest thing you've seen in Boxing?

Ali vs Holmes and Berbick.:? First thing i thought of when I read the thread name.

 

Yep. This :deal

 

arturo gatti against floyd mayweather.
it was almost too much to watch, gatti had no chance at all, yet he took a massive beating from mayweather who was simply brilliant on the night.
also, when gatti was beaten by alfonso gomez, that last big punch he took, that left him on the floor with blood pouring from his mouth. a sad end for a fighter who gave so much of himself to boxing.

 

Wlad vs Ibragimov
Vitali vs Johnson
Wlad vs Chagaev

:-(

 

A man who cannot feel something for the loser of a bout, especially a war, has no place in boxing whatsoever. as a fan, or a participant, in whatever area. So yeah, I agree with you wholeheartedly.

On a side note, any fight where a once great fighter is reduced to nothing at the end of a career is sad to see. I wish Holyfield would retire for example. For me, the saddest sight was seeing Gatti get knocked out by Gomez, in a fight that jus shouldnt of happened. Gatti had previouly been knocked out by Baldomir, a guy with next to no punch. THAT, was your warning sign right there. Once punch resistance is gone, there really is no going back. And I pray that one day, more stringently enforced guidelines will be implemented to protect these great fighters who give so much.

 

meldrick taylor getting 'losing' to chavez the first time was heartbreaking and the rematch years later was just downright sad

marquez not getting the decision against pac nearly had me in tears and i moped around for about a week.it was heartbreaking realising what a bull**** sport boxing can be sometimes

 

meldrick taylor, explaining how he doesn't have brain damage
Gerald McLellan

Buster Douglas

Ali-Big George

 

Ali - Holmes

:|:|

 

Marquez vs Pacquiao III result

 

That is right man. Disgraceful way to treat a legend like Barrera. ****ing Frank Warr n actually stopping the fight himself!!!!!!!!!!! unbelieveble

 

Being with idols 'n ATG's (slashing great fighters 'n dandies) I grew up with, 'n seeing 'em years later -- in thread-bare clothes, dark glasses, bumping into things -- empty shells assisted by aids or loyal buds

 

When marquez got robbed for the 3rd time against pac.

 

Gatti get beat up by Gomez made me feel sick , and also jmm not getting the decision last time against manny gutted for him

 

Brad Rone: Great man, loved boxing...!!! Tragic death, died doing what he loved

I got to work with Rone in the early 2000's....he was the most well-loved person in boxing I knew...Always fought hard, though his record wasn't full of glitz and glammer...Rest In Peace Brad Rone

 

Floyd Mayweather. The current pound for pound #1 is the biggest douche ever. Thats sad.
