Examples Of When Handpicking An Opponent Backfired?

wasn't Douglas Tyson's mandatory?

 

ray mercer vs jesse ferguson - mercer not in condition loses a clear cut decision and in the process loses his shot at bowe's heavyweight title..and in the next year he nearly loses to a 6-9-2 marion wilson (IMO he did lose this fight)

 

Couple of Hattons have sprung to mind, not losses but:

Urango - I just dont remember Ricky being as much of a hug and hit fight before then, he just couldn't take them body shots and for me was the first point I knew he was done!

Collazo - I was a massive Hatton fan at the time and thought he lost that fight, looked so bad moving up to WW, although Collazo was definatley underrated at the time too!

Im not exactly proud to say it been english a lovin ricky back in the day but i made a lot of money off him after i saw him lose these fights.

 

:nono

Now now. Let's not go mucking up a perfectly good hate thread with facts or common sense.

 

brian villoria when he pick omar nino over rubillar

 

Tyson v Williams or McBride ... and the main one has to be Khan v Prescott ...

 

:good A classic example!!

 

Bradley was a mandatory.

This thread continues to astound with the amount of wrongness contained within.

 

Amir Khan's father on Breidis Prescott:

And still waiting for someone to explain how that equates to a handpicked opponent...

 

Pavlik-Hopkins

 

Jones when he picked Green. It is going happen to Hopkins when Jones beats him.

 

Wlad/Sanders-Wlad thought he was gonna steamroll Corrie.

Golota/Bowe-Even though G-man got DQ'ed, he ****ed Bowe up for life. Bowe thought he didn't have to train for Andrew. Big mistake.

 

On the Bowe-Golota HBO Legendary Nights episode Bowe said he and his trainers thought it would be a 3 or 4 round fight and then they would go home. They were very wrong about that.
