What defeat hurt you the most as a fan???

For me it was Tito-Hopkins. I was at the press conference in PR where he threw down the flag :twisted: and then a whole mob started chasing him with DK watching and smiling. Then Tito got outclassed and KOd. To this day I watch that fight hoping Tito would do something different .

When you think about it there were so many things happening in the world during that time. Sept 11 had just happened like two weeks before and there was a sense of patriotism in Americans and I feel like B-Hop couldnt let them down so in that sense it was good to see.

What was the defeat that hurt you the most?

 

Probably the Hamed-Barrera one. I could see it coming, and the defeat itself didn't upset me that much. Instead it was the way Hamed reacted to it. It took his soul.

I would add Cotto-Margarito to this, too.

 

Barrera v Hamed.

The Prince is my favourite boxer of All-Time...and like Rico said, I could see it coming.

 

Tyson vs mcbride, jones vs green

 

Margarito vs Cotto :fire

 

Chavez-Randall 1....Not so much the defeat, but watching Chavez get dropped for the first time ever left me with my jaw wide open for the longest time....Back then, i never in my wildest imaginations would i thought i'd ever see that.

Pacquaio-Barrera 1 would be my close second.

 

Izzy/Rafa IV made me teary eyed briefly.

 

Andy Lee's 'loss' to Brian Vera really pissed me off. Pathetic refereeing.

 

Roy Jones vs Tarver... that was upsetting, wouldn't have hurt that much if it was some elite guy who did it.

 

The manner in which Jones and Tarver II began ("Got any excuses tonight, Roy?") and ended (one-punch KO), was another thing I wish I hadn't experienced.

 

+1 Roy lost a lot of confidence after that

 

Barrera vs Pacquiao, still cant bring myself to re-watch that fight.

 

Jermain Taylor's losses to Froch and Abraham believe it or not. I'm not even a Taylor fan(well yes Meldrick Taylor lol) but those losses hurt me as he seems like a good person and gave it his all to try to win those but came up short.

Speaking of MT, his loss to Espana was painful to watch in the later rounds aswell.

Mosley against Mayweather. Yes I'm a fan of both but that wasn't the same Shane we knew that beat DLH the first time. He was such a shell and though I give Floyd credit the fact is that Mosley was/is still an old man.

Trinidad/Wright. Another matchup with two fighters I'm a fan of but it was just so one-sided that I started to feel a bit sorry for Trinidad.

Wilfred Benitez' losses during the later part of his career. He burned out so fast and looked much older than his age in the ring at the later stage of his career.

 

Jerry Quarry v Ron Cranmer. I didn't actually see the fight, but was absolutely gutted reading about it the next day.

 

I felt really bad for Katsidis when he lost to Marquez...I was thrilled Marquez won and all, but i still felt really bad for Kats...
