Most disappointing boxing memory?

unbeatable despite losing at least 7 rounds and getting schooled badly by oscar de la hoya?

 

Haha, what I was thinking too. But I guess it was the same kind of feeling Julio Cesar Chavez fans experienced when he "finally" lost to Frankie Randall.

As for my most disappointing memory, well it was hearing about how lopsidedly Whitaker got handled by Felix Trinidad.

When I finally saw the fight, and saw how bravely Whitaker fought in a diminished state, I was consoled.

 

............I pretty much take these things in stride; it's all just part of the continuing cycle. Nothing ever changes much in this regard. Careers begin, flourish, and then they end. There are no exceptions. I guess the one exception would be Hagler losing to Leonard and Holmes losing to Spinks. Both these guys were kings when I was cutting my boxing teeth, and to see them lose their stuff in old age was painful, and a lesson in how the guard must change. I've become more phylosophical about stuff like this in time, but you never forget learning moments like that.

 

Kostya Tszyu losing to Ricky Hatton was tough. Have watched the fight a few times and it doesn't get any easier.

 

Ali Holmes

 

Ill just go with my favorites. Barrera agianst Pac in the rematch and Jones vs Tarver in the 3rd I wish they wouldve put it all on the line.

 

I haven't been really into boxing as long as most here, so mine is relatively recent: Mosley losing the decision to Cotto. Mosley is my favorite active fighter, and I thought it should have been a draw.

 

Whitherspoon losing his WBA title inside 1 round to James Smith...:verysad

 

Yep. I was surprised at the American predictions for that fight, I thought Hopkins would win fair easily, most of the British writers did too I think.

 

my most disappointing boxing memory was seeing Ray Mancini lose the rematch with Bramble. I really thought Ray could pull that fight out.... but he just didn't have it in him that night (though he displayed a tremendous amount of courage)

 

Hated Holmes getting KO'ed by Tyson. That was a brutal memory.

 

not many people thought that holmes would beat Tyson...less than 1% ...

 

Watchin' Tyson in his last few
