    I was thinking about times in which a fighter overlooked his competition and acted cocky and lvied to regret it.

    What other fights should be included?


    Thomas Hearns vs Marvelous Hagler... Thomas predicted a 3rd round ko

    Don't think Hearns underestimated Hagler at all.

    Thanks -- I forgot who the opponent was, but that was the first thing that came to mind.

    Benny Paret called Emile Griffith a *** before they fought for the 3rd and final time... Paret died 10 days after the fight from injuries sustained in the fight. Griffith KO12, Griffith won their first fight (KO13) and Paret won their 2nd fight (W15).

    Curtis whatever his name is, the guy from Brooklyn. he was the first person I thought of.


    And as far as saying Hearns, that is blasphemous. Hearns went out on his shield against a bogger man, and never backed down once. No shame at all.
