Best losing performances..!

Nelson against Sal Sanchez takes the cake for me

 

I agree with him, although I normally score it for Hagler.

Nah, I think it is reasonable.

My scorecard is this.

Hagler: 1,2,6,9,13,14,15
Duran: 3,4,5,7,8,10,11,12
Total: 143-142 Duran (8-7)

I have scored it by 2-3 points to Hagler on other occasions and just got this score once. But I did feel Duran did the most effective work, for large spells.

 

Duran/Hagler was not a great fight and the only reason Duran went 15 is because Hagler fought a counterpunching fight. Hearns showed how to fight Duran. No nonsense and don't mess around and wait for him, use size and speed. Had Hagler been aggresive Marvin would have had a 9th or 10th round knockout. He was getting to Duran before the bell rang to end the fight.

 

Hearns came out looking good even after losing to Hagler because of the fight they both put on .

 

Eubank won those rounds, Watson didn't lose them. Watson struggled with Eubank's foot, body and head movement and untelegraphed punches. Eubank was always just out of range.

 

Carl Williams v Larry Holmes..

Alex Stewart v Evander Holyfield 1
Alex Stewart v George Foreman..

 

I thought Hearns looked awesome vs Leonard

 

Walcott Louis 1
Charles Marciano 1
Sharkey Jeffries 1&2
Firpo Dempsey
Holyfield Bowe 3
Hagler Duran
Walcott Marciano 1
Mercer Lewis (though i think Mercer deserved to win)
Foreman Morrison
Cooper Holyfield
Graziano Robinson
Nelson Gans 1
Nelson Wolgast 2
Mitchell Sullivan
Lyle Foreman

Its kinda sad how many fighters show one of / the peak performance of their career in a loss
