Most embarrasing knockout of a heavyweight champion in history, by the worst comp.

That is pretty much the top of the list.

 

The poor Canadian has been getting bashed a lot this week

 

Lewis-Rahman 1

I was thinking about Tyson-Douglas, but Douglas was better than Rahman when he was motivated and in good shape.

 

That would be it.

I'd also nominate Dempsey getting KO'd by Flynn, but he wasn't heavyweight champ at the time there was good reason to believe he took $500 to put food on the table.

 

Legit HW champ: Patterson getting destroyed by Johansson. wasn't floyd on the canvas like seven times

Beltholders: even as a diehard Wlad fanboy, his loss to sanders was pretty bad. he's was just steamrolled by sanders, a career underachiever, in his own backyard :-(

Paper Beltholders: in feb 08 when scam cheater gets knocked out of the ring and into Don King's lap

 

The only other example that I can think of is Bert Cooper's second knock out of Canadian heavyweight champ Willie DeWitt.

 

Read the effin questionatsch

 

Tyson-Douglas would be my answer.

Is this only in title fights or in the whole career?

 

Tyson being KOED by Douglas.

You got the whole package.

Tyson was completely out boxed and then KTFO.

 

Max Schmeling over Joe Louis (who became champion the year after) by KO in the 12th round.

 

Tyson KO by Douglas....that was a shocker

 

For most embarrasing I would have to go with Morrison ko1 by Bentt

 

You should post on my thread regarding the "shotness" calculations.

Tyson simply was not up to the challenge. Douglas looked like an ATG because of Tyson's incompetence.
