    Marquez deciding to fight after Pac IV and losing to Bradley.
    Mayweather retiring agains Berto, shouldve retired against Pac but then again he had no one else to fight.

    I was disappointed in Pacquiao when he got knocked out by Marquez, when he went ahead with the Mayweather fight despite a messed up arm, when he chose to fight Rios and Algieri who were far beneath his talent level instead of a more worthy opponent, and on a personal level when I heard he cheated on his wife.

    For Ali, I was disappointed by all the racist things he said in the sixties and when I heard that Robinson beat his family members.

    Duran disappointed me when he came to fight out of shape and quit against Leonard.

    Titos sticking with same trainer the whole career
    Hamed not trying to take things more seriously and avenge his loss
    Hatton not having defense
    Cotto's unfortunate match making and his partying and drinking lifestyle
    Sergios prime timing. Too late for trinidad, too early for ggg

    I wouldn't say he was necessarily my favourite fighter, but David Tua on many occasions letting his love for KFC outweigh his desire to reach his potential. He could have done a lot more with a bit more discipline.

    Disappointed with Pacquiao calling gay people worse than animals. Then Nike drops him and he is a politician. If he doesn't know that some animals sometimes have gay seexx. What does he know about Politics and helping the country? He is a moron.

    Hopkins not going through with the Toney fight, I understand why, he was getting screwed by King but that would have been a great fight had it happened.

    Hamed throwing away his career by being overcome by his ego. He achieved a lot but he fell short of his full potential.

    Toney taking steroids, it's tarnished his legacy for me. Love watching his fights, the man had sublime skills and a very entertaining style but can't watch his later fights without thinking he was cheating, even in the Jirov fight.

    It's not a disappointment really, but it sucks that Joe Louis tanked in his first fight with Walcott. It's the only win of his career that is close to being controversial.

    In the three losses and bunch of draws that occurred very early in Carlos Monzon's career, he avenged all but I think it is one or two of them. Would have been cool had he avenged every single one of those early blemishes.

    Would have liked to have seen Jack Johnson defend his title against a fellow black heavyweight like Langford, Jeannette, or McVea (just for the sake of it happening and the deserving nature of those fighters, although Johnson beat them all before he became champ).

    Tommy Hearns fighting like an idiot against Hagler... even if it produced the best "oh, you're not a boxing fan? Watch this!" fight ever.

    Primo Carnera never seemed to show much development, improvements, or hardly conscience thought most or all of the time.

    Not a huge deal but Mayweather "retiring" against Berto. It will be worse if those quotations disappear in time, too.

    Paul Malignaggi thinking he was Paul Williams standing toe to toe with Porter.

    Kazuto Ioka not getting the decision he deserved against Ruenroeng.

    Wladimir turning into old-man-Shane-Mosley with the triple flick jab as his only attack when the calendar turned 2015.

    Donaire's explanation and excuses for losing to Rigondeaux. "My wife is pregnant." "I didn't watch any tape." "I didn't train that hard." Well, Nonito, that's all on you and makes you seem less a fighter... even if we took that literally.
