    While it wasn't his first loss (but due to the magnitude of the hype), I personally cried when Balboa was decisioned against Creed in their first epic fight.

    Unfortunately, I've seen My Hero, Mike Tyson, lose a few times. Firstly, to Holyfield, when I was just 10, & I actually cried.

    Then to Lennox Lewis & I & my mates remember me going berserk & literally shouting at the TV when Lewis was holding Tyson in the first. It was sad seeing him get beat.

    Then seeing Danny Williams beat him & I was like... "****ing Danny Williams - guys like him would have literally Wet themselves in the dressing room before the fight if they were facing a peak Tyson!"

    The Loss to McBride - it has no bearing or significance - Tyson didn't even wanna box, let alone anything else!

    For me it has to be Floyd and Ricky! I was a drunken mess that night and had been buzzing for the fight for weeks! I fell asleep on the sofa to wake up to Ricky getting knocked out nearly to the second! I was pissed big time and gutted!

    Well I was didn't see Lewis-McCall until much later, did get to see Lewis-Rahman and I still think Rahman was lucky as ****. But the problem was corrected after Lewis ripped him apart in the rematch.

    I wasnt a big boxing fan back then but I thought Tyson was invincible. I was shocked.

    I really hope Gesta retires undefeated or I might just jump off a bridge. I cant stand to see my 3rd favorite fighter and #3 on my p4p list lose. I would rather have him retire with his undefeated record now than to see him lose. He'll be ok for a while as long as hes not forced to wear pillow socks. Pillow socks are our kryptonite.

    I still cannot watch Tyson vs Douglas, Lewis or Williams. I remember as a kid seeing him on sports shows destroying people. I was only 7 or 8 but I knew how important and how awesome he was in the ring. I also HATED seeing Tszyu lose to Hatton. When I saw him at the weigh in he looked so gaunt and drained. His eyes were set back like a skeleton and Hatton looked so strong. I was so depressed when he didnt come out for the 12th round

    well, lets steer it back onto track.

    I was just a little kid when Tyson got beat by Douglas but that was 1 of the first times I realized that people are people now matter how high you place them. I thought he was a living god, untouchable, I know you could beat him on Nintendo but I would have never thought he would've lost a fight especially at that point of his career. It was only when I was older I realized that during that time, Tyson's life was ****ed up behind the scenes.

    Was a bit pissed when Greg Page lost to Trevor Berbick, but I was a dumb nine-year-old kid who didn't know any better, and after learning what I know now, I can look at it through a different perspective.
