Most Disgraceful Moments in Boxing History (Not Counting Robbery Decisions)

Golota getting DQ'd 2ce for low blows was pretty shady, still, Butler probably takes the cake. :verysad

 

Kingpin's behaviour after vitali fight ,after doing absolutley nothing in the whole fight but trying to survive and losing every round he wants to show wot a bad boy he is and jumps on wladimir, that was embarassing.

 

Oh yeah. Not to rub salt in an old wound or anything, but.....

Floyd vs Pac not getting made is a huge disgrace.

 

This.

It still pissess me off just thinking about it.

 

Yup! That along with the Butler sucker punch do it for me.

 

Danny Williams vs. Konstantin Airich has to go down as one of the dirtiest fights in recent boxing memory. The whole fight was a mess, both fighters fouled constantly and it was all topped by Airichs promoter Öhner himself hitting the bell after only two min. into a round when his fighter was in trouble - and it was tolerated by the ref and the ring officials!

Danny Williams may be a courageous warrior, but he's also one of the dirtiest fighters in recent times.

Oh yeah, and an obvious one: Margarito trying to load his gloves against Shane Mosley.

 

James Butler - Richard Grant.

No question

Close Thread :deal

 

I don't think Oli McCalls breakdown in itself was disgraceful. I mean he didn't do it on purpose, he just was a nervous wreck. And he didn't hurt anybody but himself with it.
What was disgraceful was Don King taking Oli McCall out of rehab a short time before that, only to make the rematch happen. McCall had drug problems and was in no condition to enter the ring. I wonder how the WBC could let have this happen, well money talks I guess.. (btw this is the same organization who fines their fighters for swearing)

 

Rahman QUITTING against James Toney and the outcome being changed to a NC. No matter how you put it, Rahman quit. Yeah, he had a cut, but it wasn't that bad. He just realized that Toney wasn't as shot as he expected..
The doc took a look at the cut and said he could continue - then Rahman shouted 'no, I can't see, stop it'. The doc advised the ref to stop the fight, which he did, and it was announced as a TKO victory for Toney. One minute after that Rahman walked around the ring, no blood, no problems with his sight whatsoever, giving interviews and saying he's gonna appeal the decision with the CSAC. Two weeks after that the fight was declared a NC... and Rahman got a shot at Wladimir Klitschko, in which he quit again.

 

Goes back a while but Lamotta vs Fox where Lamotta admitted to throwing the fight for the mob. To this day, the legitamacy of other title fights is still in question as is the influence of mafia in boxing.

 

Boxers who tested positive for steroids.

Old ass boxers who never know when to hang 'em up (because of money).

Everytime John Ruiz fights.

I mean, their generalizations, but it happens a lot in boxing.

 

Collins vs Resto is the worst imo.

Another would be Duran quitting against Sugar Ray.

 

Malignaggi having to get his hair cut during a fight was disgraceful.
