    Tyson/Douglas. Mike never got over the mental aspect of losing......by knockout.

    That's probably the best one so far. How do you beat big George only to lose to that dude in your next fight :lol:

    It wasn't a tune up, Baldomir was the mandatory challenger.

    I would add Raul Balbi losing a Tune Up in Argentina two months before facing Floyd Mayweather.

    Suprised no one has mentioned Ray Mercer - Jesse Ferguson I. Mercer had a title shot lined up with Riddick Bowe, but lost all 10 rounds to Ferguson. This is also the fight in which Mercer was alleged to have attempted to bribe Jesse to "lay down".

    Could it be a case of leaving your all in one fight to the point of never being able to duplicate that performance?:smoke

    It could be, but Morrison beat better fighters than Bentt consistently. I think too much partying and not coming in focused (a recurring theme throughout his career) did him in.
