    Frazier Foreman, and its not even close. Frazier has the saddest history ever, it breaks me up to see him in the gutter after all he did. Frazier was undefeated coming into the Foreman fight and nobody expected to see someone walk through Frazier, twice nonetheless. So depressing to see that guy rise and rise again only to take a vicious beating. Horrible.

    You are right. Gatti never had what it took to beat Floyd. Not on his best day and Floyds worst. My point was, Gatti embodied so many great things about boxing and he was destroyed by a fighter who stood for none of those things. The worst part is, the guy who beat him and his fans never even considered that. It was just another W.

    As for the disguise, it really wasn't. I listed several other fights. Floyd was just one of them.

    Your assumption is WAY OFF BASE in thinking that FMJ Fans don't have nor ever had an appreciation for who and what Arturo Gatti was. That is just an all-around Ignorant Statement. You appear to be assuming that Floyd Fans are Young Teenage Urban Gold-Teeth Wearing Hip-Hop Wanna-be's, who have no appreciation for the Sport, or even new to the Sport. I AM 40!!!!

    And as for your disguise....Yeah you mentioned other fighters, but how many of them did you INSULT...Including the Fans of the Fighter.

    Ray vs Camacho his last fight and I thought he could win this one.

    Camacho beat the name Sugar Ray Leonard not the fighter SRL.
    Ray pocket 4.5 mil that night.

    Pacquiao vs Morales I.. I'm not so heartbroken over it now seeing as how he has avenged that loss twice..

    Cotto vs Margarito was heartbreaking for me.. Not a HUGE Cotto fan, but I wanted him to win so bad and he had started off so good in the fight, and then bam.. He starts getting his ass whooped.. I still like to think that Margarito was using loaded gloves in that fight, but we'll never know..

    Linares vs Salgado was pretty heartbroken for me too.. I'm a huge fan of Linares and that was just an unexpected setback.. Seeing him get KO'd like that

    Gatti vs. Gomez -- the true end of my favorite fighter.

    Hagler vs. Leonard -- my original favorite fighter robbed, then retired.

    Many, many others, but none with the emotional impact of these two.
