46-0 :deal haha just joking Enzo - Haye didnt really bother me in all honesty but when I saw Afolabi KO him man i felt sick to my stomach. Just a shame he still hasnt managed to get his career back on track
Hopkins vs Calzaghe still upsets me, to think if Hopkins had actually gotten the decision, that Calzaghe fans wouldnt be the biggest ****s in boxing. Morales losing to Pac in the third fight really hurt me, i have not watched that fight since. Duran vs Joppy was sad to see..
I've watched so many fights over many years but that fight still sticks with me. To answer the thread starter: I get bummed but I move on.
I don't care what you believe. FYI pacquiao knocking out Morales was the greatest day of my life. :good
Bowe vs Golota I and II Taylor vs Pavlik I Mosley vs Margarito Gatti vs Gomez (yeah, Gatti was finished but did not expect Gomez to retire him)
I too refuse to watch Tyson-Lewis: that was NOT the Iron Mike we knew. Prime Tyson would've turned Lewis' torso into jelly first and then landed the KO soon after. Tyson-Douglas: was still a lazy and untrained Tyson but at least he gave it a go. Watching Mike wobbly grasping around for his gumshield was a sad moment for me. But full credit to James, he WAS Master of the Universe that night, good feints, great combos - a full handful for ANY heavyweight. I'm a big Hawk fan but even I don't think that win is 100% legit - "Where's the bottle?" Fools don't need others to show them up, they can do it themselves - have the respect of at least reading the beginning of any thread. :good A zero is worthless compared to the willingness to get up off the mat and extract revenge - warriors like Joe Louis and SRR **** all over zero-huggers like Floyd and Calzaghe.
Yeah, I never really followed Enzo that much but even I think that the ways thing ended was just a shame, especially for a guy that seems so genuinely decent.
I wouldn't say hero really but for a while when I was a kid I was a Hagler fan. He was kind of a star and I feel like boxing was a little bigger back then. Watching him get evaded and outboxed by Sugar Ray Leonard was frustrating. I was also a Tyson fan but I didn't have the cash to watch him lose to Douglass on PPV. I was living in Columbus, Ohio at the time (Douglass' home town) so there seemd to be a postive local spin to the whole thing.
when hatton beat zoo, zoo was my guy, got me into boxing. i felt as though MY legacy was gone- i didnt get over that for weeks.
And the one that comes to mind is Amir Khan getting knocked out by Prescott, it angers me in a number of ways, but I was actually away for that weekend and never saw the fight live, but I was ****ing PISSED when I found out. And I don't think I actually watched the fight until a year later! Lol. Amir isn't my hero but he is one of the guys I first started following when I started watching Boxing.
I'm 32 so I couldn't quite understand the significance of ali until I watched more boxing and studied more history. I just remember my dad as a grown man who i looked up to as a mans man on the verge of tears watching holmes and the berbick fight and just feeling sad for my dad.
