What boxer did you think was invincible but ended up losing?

RJJ, wasn't a fan but couldn't imagine anyone beating him. When he lost to Griffin it was a huge surprise but even then it was due to a DQ so it was brushed off as a misjudgement. Then Tarver gave him such a tough first fight which is when it became clear he could legitimately be beaten but even then when Tarver finally KO'ed him it was a massive shock.

 

probably spence. not in my wildest did i think he would get handled like that by bud. had no adjustment to the same counter, and kept making the same mistakes. looked dumb as **** in there. not the spence i knew. but i cant make excuses, i was way off on that one.

 

Usyk

I can see into the future lol
Roy Jones for me and Tyson, but I was a little kid in 90

 

Floyd never lost on paper but actually lost in some of his real fights. He lost Castillo, Maidana to name a few. He was the moat protected fighters by the American judges. Put the same fight in his opponents backyard he will be never go undeafeated.

 

GGG… no one is invincible against bad judging.

 

Castillo was a robbery. Maidana 1 was not

 

Castillo yes, maidana... Dont be silly.

 

RJJ

 

He didn't lose to Maidana. The most you can give Marcos is a draw.

 

A lot of us called that one completely wrong. I watched that fight flabbergasted. Looked like he didn't belong at all. Being a fan of both it was hard to watch anyway.


Original question:
Roy.

For damn near his entire career he was basically superhuman. No one even really regarded the Griffin DQ as a loss.

A lot of people are saying Tyson and I get that, but I was only 12 when he lost. He seemed invincible as a kid but I grew up watching Roy actually be invincible and paying more attention to his invincibility than Tyson's.

Other than those two though, there has never been another fighter that I thought of as invincible. No one gives invincible like those two in particular did

 

Wllfredo Gomez and Mike Tyson.

For a while, I felt Julio Cesar Chavez Sr was invincible, but after his performance against Pernell Whitaker, I realized one thing:

Taking how Rocky Marciano ended in that sad tragedy in consideration (I wrote an article about it on Wikipedia, check it out! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_Newton_Cessna_172_crash) into consideration, no one in life is 100 percent invincible.

 

Sergey Kovalev looked like he had all the tools to be dominant for a long time but the Ward fights took a lot out of him mentally. He was wrongfully robbed in the first fight and was just never the same onwards when he ended up getting stopped in the rematch. He just didn't look as great after that.

 

Not sure if invincible, but between sept. 2018 and Ruiz 1 I thought AJ was our Lennox Lewis/Larry Holmes

 

Roy Jones, obviously. He was like God in my eyes.
