    Which boxing losses were the most humiliating and why?

    One for elite boxers

    and one for all pro boxers (can be some random no name)

    Jerry “Harm’s Way” Hackney was never going to be a world champion. He lost every single one of his eight fights and had one of the most terrible nicknames in boxing history. As if losing all of his fights isn’t embarrassing enough, he performed amazingly badly against George “Da Butcher” Klinesmith.

    In the fourth round, Hackney decides he has had enough of a beating so turns his ginger dreadlocks (always a great choice) and runs. He jumps on to the ropes, where Da Butcher “makes mincemeat outta him” by punching him into the crowd. Hackney claims he was “just jogging across the ring”.


    Lemieux knocks out Spike in 1. Spike talked a lot of **** about Lemieux but after that one punch knockout no one's really heard a peep out of Spike until recently when he quietly returned to the ring against a 26-13 guy - at jr middleweight.

    Also there was a dude who got knocked out in like 8 seconds forgot his name

    Joshua/Ruiz. Forrest/Mayorga. Morrison/Bentt. Willard/Dempsey.

    Campbell/Peden. Multiple fighters who used to air on USA Tuesday Night Fights. Brian Sutherland is my favorite:

    Not that im an expert of old school boxing, but Frazier losing to Foreman seemed quite humiliating. Given the fact that Frazier is a legend he stood no chance in both fights.

    Mike Tyson beating Michael Spinks was humiliating too.

    Joshua v. Ruiz was the worst by a country mile.
