    Tyson losing to Lewis, when he would have demolished him in his prime....then heading all the British gloat...

    Hatton vs Mayweather, I expected a boxing clinic, but Ricky was a live dog for a while. I knew Mayweather would exploit that repetitive mistake Ricky kept making, and he did. Still, Floyd is a douche, so..

    Gatti vs Manfredy and Baldomir. Both fights I thought he'd have won in better times.

    Anything Roy Jones has done since Ruiz.

    All the WBA nonsense involving Holyfield, Chagaev, Valuev and Haye was beyond shady and just showed how crooked boxing is.

    I remember watching that fight with my dad. I couldn't have been more than about 12. Dad gave credit to Norris for a good performance, but explained to me how age affects fighters, and how he thought that fight would have gone differently with a younger Leonard. His friends said the same thing.

    In short, I think it must have been similar to the youngsters who saw Ali bashed by Holmes.

    I was pretty sad about Pac losing to JMM in December, but nonetheless was still a bit encouraged with the fact he looked really good for large portions of the fight, and that he lost to a fellow ATG that I respect a lot.

    Nonetheless when Donaire lost, I was just infiurated with how he lost, low effort, that one-punch for KO style, the excuses after the fight, etc.

    It just depends how your guy loses.

    I have never been effected like I was when Tarver knocked out Roy.. I was in complete shock and disbelief... When I woke up the next morning, it sunk in, then it was a few days of heartbreak.

    Oscar's loss to Trinidad was painful. It haunted me for months.

    If I ever meet that ****er i'm going to let him know what a bonehead he was giving that **** away like that.

    Nothing worse than a "fan" who jumps ship after a loss. I always look at it as it's better to support a guy who will test himself than one who will protect/pad his record.

    Of course, at a certain age and after a certain amount of damage, I always feel the best way to support my fighter is urge he retire.

    Still a cool thread though Jeff.
    I thought of Boogaloo when I read the OP,but never felt the need to point it out as you n me cool.:good

    Terry Norris was a superb fighter,but he wasn't getting through 15 rounds in 1981 against Ray.
