Most ego shattering losses

Harrison vs sprott.

 

seriously my man, you broke my heart those nights as Scott Dixon was a great scottish character, if I remember right you broke his ribs you swine & had scotty out of there on a stretcheratsch

& then there was Murphy, I still dont know what they were smoking when they made you Murphys first defence, you pulled off a masterstroke with that one, I must admit! I still wonder to this day why they took a fight with you instead of milking the win... as you were a seasoned campaigner, & way too dangerous for a guy of Murphys calibre. Maybe you can tell me how Murphys people were fooled into taking a first defence against you...

 

I think they said that that Toney got the last laugh as he picked up the biggest paycheque in UFC history(maybe Im wrong) but that was one serious drubbing. Randy saying he used an old college move to floor Toney that any MMA man would have saw coming from a mile off...

Theres so many levels to that debacle that I dont even know where to start!

 

Well Elcock out boxed me and Murphy KOd Wayne in 1 so they prob thought easy night, boxing don't work like that though!

 

the thing is, he thought he was untouchable. people started to buy into it and he was exposed against a good boxer with an average chin.

you could tell his ego was flattened after that fight in the post fight presser. it was exactly like david haye. excuses here, excuses there, just to try and satisfy his damaged ego.

james degale is so egotistical that he will put on a show for the cameras to hide the fact that he has a deep dark inkling that he may not be good enough to cut it.

like chris eubank said ''mark my words, james degale... he will fail!'' :good

 

Judah V Tzsyu.

It;s easy to forget how highly rated Zab was at that time. That loss killed something in Zab.

 

Mate, I had DeGale down to struggle as a professonal. He's done better than I thought he would (just about!) but, either way, thats a totally different question to him having a shattered ego.

I'm not a qualified psychotherapist so I can't really comment on this "deep dark inkling" your trained eye has spotted.

 

Too true my good man, although you would think those handling Murphs career at the time would know better i.e a certain Alex Morrison I believe! Murphy was a one punch wonder, if ever there was one. Putting him in with a guy as good as you for his first defence was insanity, pure & simple. I had a laugh at you for being too big headed before you lost your unbeaten record to Takaloo, that doesnt mean I didnt rate you as a fighter though, far from it!

I wonder what Billy nelson thinks of this, as hes always defending Morrison on here when I rightfully have continuous pops at his awful matchmaking:yep

 

Not a loss but Hector Camacho v Edwin Rosario

Also John the beast Mugabi was something like 34-0 with 32 KOs when Hagler Knocked him out. He was never the same bad ass again

Roberto Duran lacked his usual ego whenever Hearns was around, it must have been pretty humbling the way he was poleaxed, but I suppose he came back from it pretty nicely!

 

Good call on Camacho. Chapo permanently changed Hectors way of trying to win fights.

 

Don Curry was never the same after da Ragamuffin Man shocked him and the rest of us

 

Yes, he was most humble after that.....

 

You thought the WBU was the Ring belt he said.

 

:huh Not a loss! Did you see the fight!

(Technically you are quite correct).:good

Foreman admitted it took him over 20 years (until the victory over Moorer), to get over the Ali defeat...

(as a side-note, your starter for ten: Foreman, Dundee and what, was in the ring for Foreman/Moorer and Foreman/Ali?)

Lloyd Honeyghan had a bitter rivalry with Marlon Starling, and Honeyghan's defeat to the Magic Man, was rather crushing.
