    We all know of Enzo Maccarenellis high profile big mistake in the David Haye fight of dropping his hands and putting his chin in the air.

    The video I posted the other day showed Michael Grants huge mistake of taking the fight aggresively to Lennox Lewis from the opening bell :bbb:bbb:bbb:bbb:bbb:bbb

    Oscar De La Hoya danced away the last 3 rounds on against Felix Trinidad as if it was a marathon contest - it cost him the fight - and earned him the nickname "Chicken De La Hoya"

    If some of these fighters had not made the fatal "mistake" the fight could have resulted in a much better result for them

    What other big "mistakes" have cost a boxer badly in big fights?

    Enzo didnt drop his hands, he dropped his pants. Sorry pal but "he dropped his hands" regarding Haye is no "get out" lol

    On another note for me it was Peden Vs. Campbell............Campbell stuck his chin out ala "hitme" Robbie did :deal

    Eastman showboating and pretending to rest on the ropes against Joppy. Probably cost him the fight.

    Lacy turning up for the fight against Calzaghe. Big mistake.

    Naz not training for the barerra fight.

    that shouldn't have been counted, Jones jumped into him and bundled him over, a punch didn't put him down.

    Mayorga letting Trinidad have a free one on the chin, there's confidence and then there's stupidity.

    Oliver McCall being allowed into the ring with his current mental condition against Lennox Lewis in 1997 rematch

    Letting Lennox Lewis have open shots on you 100% unprotected is a sucide attempt !!!!
