Name some boxing feuds that went to very dark places.

Weird. Hopkins said pretty much the same thing about Calzaghe, but in a worse way. Yet this is the one you pick out??

I don’t recall Hopkins/Calzaghe if I’m honest.
This stood out mainly because of the brutal beating Hagler dished out, also the reaction of some Minter ‘fans’, as in booing the US anthem, and throwing beer bottles etc into the ring post fight.

Mitch green and Mike tyson in the streets of Brooklyn, boom boom Mancini vs that Korean fighter: they looked at his hotel room where he stayed and they saw that he inscribed " kill or be killed" on his kitchen menu before the fight. Sadistically, Ray knocked him out and killed him in the later rounds, forever changing lengths of matches to less.

Another thing I noticed. Deaontay Wilder opened his big mouth while on the telecast with boom boom. I find it very disrespectful that in front of anybody, he so chooses to tell this to Mancini: I want a body on my record...really? You wanna trade places with boom boom?? Somebody who probably forgets what he did, but gets a harsh reminder from the stupid champ.

Another one, can't remember who but it was provoked by "Ricardo mayorga" he said he would kill his opponent and send him to hell with his dead mother, not exactly the nicest of words.

Marvis Frazier vs Tyson: Mike said he hit him so hard with a combo in the corner which slunked his body against the ground. Tyson was so empathetic that he said he wished he could have quit boxing that night. Scary ko btw. He said he hit him too hard.

Then what about Rahman calling Lewis gay? "Bring your sister or your mom and we'll see who's gay" equals 2 bohemaths breaking a table on sports center. Lol

Wilder says a lot of stupid things like wanting a body on his record.

Ali and Frazier needs context in the sense that yes Ali was cruel not just to Frazier but to everyone and Ali identified with the civil rights issues of the day and Smoking Joe was viewed as establishment champion but he was no Uncle Tom.

Minter said he won’t lose to a black man or something to that effect.

Nigel Benn & Chris Eubank was a sheer hatred of each other on display every time the two of them got anywhere near each other.

Years after they had both retired they agreed to do a programme where they both trained as Gladiators with a view to having a number of Gladiatorial matches against each other. What started out as a light hearted concept soon saw the hatred re-emerging and the show was stopped numerous times to calm the two of them, mainly Nigel Benn, down.

Ben is a proper soldier and gladiator.

I’m pretty sure Alan Minter used racist terms in the build up to fighting Hagler.
‘I don’t intend to lose my title to a black man’ was one quote.
The bout, in London was fought in front of a very hostile crowd, stirred up by Minter’s comments.
It only spurred Hagler on it seems !
Click to expand...

Minter's tried to row back on that since saying the quote is to 'that black man' but I hardly think that helps him much.

He also claims that he and Hagler became great friends post fight but I have no idea whether or not that's true.

Dillian Whyte Vs any fighter with a pulse

Mayorga and De La Hoya.
Mayorga was really ripping into Oscar, saying he was an embarrassment to Mexican fighters and that he was gonna bang his wife etc.
It got pretty nasty.

Yeah, I’m happy Oscar put a beating on that guy. Mayorga also slapped Mosley’s wife right in the keister at a press conference. A crazy dude indeed.

Eubank Snr. was every bit the gladiator too, his first fight with Benn and the Watson rematch prove that. Despite the tragic ending, prior to Eubank KO'ing Watson he was taking an absolute pasting and just would not give up.

Mayorga vs De La Hoya
Mayorga vs Mosley (the ass slap was staged)
Ali vs Frazier
De La Hoya vs Vargas
Tyson vs Lewis
Tyson vs M Green
To name a few

True but I think the gladiatorial contest as in that show is more Benn’s type of thing.

Lennox gave Rahman just what he deserved he separated him from his senses in the perfect KO situation Rahman's head placed in Kings logo on the canvas ROFLMAO
