    Tysons loss to Lewis was dissapointing,although he was not allowed a tune up fight which did not help.In the defeats to Williams and Mccbride though he was truly awful and i hated watching those fights.

    i knew barrera had the experience and skill to trouble naz, as most of the old timers i watched the fight with were picking MAB, but i guess i bought into the british hype alittle too much and thought naz would pull it off. instead of a fight i thought i was watching cirque de soleil with naz being a contortionist bending over backwards getting flogged by barrera.

    Oscar De La Hoya Vs Pac Man..

    I knew that it was going to be tough for DLH against Mannys Speed.. But I thought he'd be in it more and not take the beating that he did...

    Tszyu V Hatton...

    Tough Fight... sad to see Kostya quit in the corner...

    Roy let me down in his fight with Glen Johnson. I remember watching and thinking "Roy, get up.........get up.........get up.......". I wasn't crying or anything.........I just had some grit in my eye.

    Roy Jones against Glenn Johnson. At that point Roy hadn't really shown signs of decline. Yes he was knocked out against Tarver but Tarver was the top challenger in the Light Heavyweight division, Jones had beaten him once, and Jones had won round #1. Johnson was little known and had quite a few losses. Roy being manhandled, behind on all scorecards, knocked out, and laying on the canvas for 5 minutes after hitting his head on the way down was just rough to watch.

    i hate that saying "in which fight did your fav fighter let you down..."

    you do the ****ing fight then!


    it's like football fans getting aggro in the stands while players with 100 times the discipline and skill they ever had get aggro together because they never had enough self-belief to be somebody themselves..

    nobody "let you down".

    you did as soon as you started believing in somebody more than yourself.

    pac in the agapito sanchez fight. he looked horrible in that fight. i know it was a draw but i was really pissed at pac. he lost his head with agapito's dirty tactics. i waited for that fight for so long. i know it was a draw but it was as good as a loss IMO

    Man, that dont count. Chico had just moved up to 147 and Clottey came in at like 171, that was like cheating

    Beyond Roy Jones against Glenn Johnson the other one that comes to mind back in the day was Tommy Morrison against Michael Bent, dear god that was a joke. And I agree with the previous comment, Jones-Tarver III was so hard to watch, you were just there screaming at the TV for Roy to be Roy, when he was, he dominated, then he'd just sit back again.
