Biggest ""near misses" that would have been epically humiliating upsets.

Always wanted to see that fight to judge for myself, and could never find it. Anyone got a link?

 

Devon Alexander's son, Marcos Maidana came close to upsetting Mayweather in the first fight according to a lot of people (not myself, I had Mayweather winning by a fair bit).

Erislandy Lara getting in trouble by shot Angulo was pretty funny to those Lara fanboys who say he beats every man and his dog in boxing.

If iron chinned Tim Bradley would've been stopped by pillow fisted Jessie Vargas in the last round that would've been quite funny

Fury nearly getting KO'd by blown up cruiserweight Cunningham.

Rigondeaux v Amagasa

Jacobs this weekend getting dropped hard by pillow puncher Mora

 

Frank Bruno vs Jumbo Cummings

Bruno was out on his feet when the bell rang!

 

Corrie Sanders nearly became the first guy to beat and KO both Klitschko brothers in round 1 in the vitali fight

Not to mention Vargas/Trinidad

 

Tyson Botha

 

Cunningham / Fury

 

Holyfield-Cooper. In Holyfield's hometown.

 

Dundee's glove trick gave Ali a grand total of about 6 extra seconds to recover.

Maybe Cooper could've stopped him if the KD had come early in the round, but that glove story/myth has been exaggerated to death. It gave Ali about 1:06 between rounds between the customary 1:00.

Two fatties going at it. Nothing better than that :yep

 

Thanks man you rock!

Real good fight, actually, better than I was expecting. I definitely wouldn't call it a robbery, the punch stats were very equal and the ebb and flow, punch effects and ring generalship were about equal too, more so than the commentary (I really like Jim Watt but thought he was a bit too friendly to McDermott). I had it 96 95 McDermott, but could score most every round differently if I watched it again. Fights like that are better off scored draws.

Really, though, until the last two fights, Fury has consistently struggled with opposition, always winning but usually fighting down to his level of opponent. It makes it hard to imagine he can beat someone as world class as Wlad.

 

It's amazing how long these myths persist in the age of youtube.

 

He was an absolute sitting duck too, a couple more seconds and Cummings could have teed off with whatever he wanted.

Feel bad for Jumbo when I watch it.
