I'm giving the following a bye (a get outta jail free card to not be included on the poll, since the forum software only enough room on the ark for ten options) - Gemelo, because, well, I like him and goddamn say so - and he at least was somewhat active; Merhy, because okay fine, this was his 'arrival' moment; Charlo, because Montiel was coming off the Mandingo victory and was a ranked contender...which trumps fighting zero times all year, or the likes of freaking Cordova or Ngiabphukhiaw; and Kyōguchi because Aragón at least was ranked and had held WBO champ Bimbito Mendez to a SD in a previous loss.

That leaves us with Briedis, Goulamirian, Makabu, GGG, Spence, LSC, GRJ, Inoue, JCM, and Pradabsri as the candidates for most disappointing year. Have at it, polls are open in 5, 4, 3, 2...

 

Homeboy ain't presently champ, so...thread really isn't about Teo.

 

IBF. Last defended against Szeremeta (the anniversary will be Saturday).

 

I'm most personally disappointed in Briedis, GGG, and Inoue because I like them more than any of the other 7 on the poll. Artur Mann is a wretched challenger to be your only defense in an entire year; Dasmariñas and Dipaen aren't too much better; and GGG just frittered away yet another chunk of his waning prime-adjacency...didn't even have anything rumored until the Murata talks sprouted up in October.

 

But we could do a separate one about "former champs whose title losses in 2021 were the most shocking and/or devastating blows", with him, Pac and probably AJ being the frontrunners.

 

So for you it'd be a six-way tie between Goulamirian, Makabu, Golovkin, Spence, LSC and GRJ? (the guys that basically took it off)
