    Best or most amusing comment by a fighter who then got beat?
    Obviously there is a lot of trash talk anyway, but which ones stick in your mind that really juxtapose what was said vs what actually happened?
    For some, reason I always remember Tom "Boom Boom" Johnson saying of Prince Naseem Hamed "that's why he calls himself the Prince, 'cos I'm the King of the Featherweight Divisioin. Until he faces me, his mind will never be set free".
    Cue a great fight where Boom Booms gets beat up, repeatedly rocked and brutally stopped by a trademark Naz corkscrew uppercut.

    Bernard Hopkins. "I ain't losing to no white guy."

    Just Hopkins looking for a way to sell the fight.

    Now this is was not a case of trash talking. Martin seemed to believe the **** he was saying. Dude was completely delusional.

    Haye in the lead up to the first Bellew fight:

    "I'll end the fight when I want to end the fight"

    "I'll knock him out with a jab"

    "Nunes will buckle under pressure".

    She pressured Nunes and got brutally KOed in seconds. :pancarta:

    It pretty much was all boxing. Kinda wild and reckless boxing, but still. Those girls can thump.

    The Cyborg vs Nunes fight was a 50-second boxing match, so thanks for pointing out that I came to the right forum to mention it!

    I watched the fight it was a good scrap, however that doesn't change the fact that this is a boxing forum specifically for boxing not MMA/ kick boxing.

    I also thought that was funny until I re-watched the fight and realized GGG had probably injured his right hand before the fight and was forced to limit his use of it. He basically fought one-handed. Why would he do that against a guy he'd already schooled?

    Ah yes, a mixed martial art fight (which features striking) is considered a boxing match now?
    A kickboxing or a Muay Thai match which features a majority of boxing is not boxing, complete different rule-set.
