    I didn't see the fight for obvious reason so I can't really judge how much he sucked but Sugar Ray Robinson losing to a guy called Memo Ayon doesn't look well on paper

    Arguello lost to Scott Walker who was a gate keeper at best.

    Little Red lost to Jorge Rodriguez (10-25-2) who wasn't even a decent journeyman.

    Carlos Bojorquez is a pretty embarrassing note to go out on.

    Knocked out via body shot by Sandros Marcos wasn't a good look for Tapia, either.

    Duran vs Joppy..I know Joppy is a decent champ but Duran in his prime would have destroyed him.

    Jones v Green, by the way Green celebrated most people would think he beat Jones circa 1999.
     
  8. Trinidad losing to shot Roy Jones is pretty embarrassing.

    I have to agree that McBride-Tyson is tough to beat in this department. As for Ali-Berbick, "The Drama in Bahama," I actually thought Ali won that fight, as Berbick was treating the fight as a joke and hardly tried. I agree with those that claim the judges were just trying to encourage Ali to retire.

    Ali was just sad, against Holmes as well... but not so much cause of the fight, but because you could almost see the Parkinsons in the ring.
