    I'd say Lewis, Lewis was laughing a few moments before and he really had to eat his own words for not being serious enough.

    Just about. Lewis came in overweight, acting like Rahman was going to be a walk through and got steam rolled.


    Wlad came to fight like always and got overwhelmed.

    Least he kept getting back up. :deal

    I would have to say Wlad getting knocked out by Sanders that was supposed to be an easy night for Wlad.

    Rahman when he fought Lewis was legit, he was in his prime coming off a solid win over Sanders

    Lewis was trying to clown Rahman and got knocked the **** out with 1 punch. That's embarrassing.

    Wlad was knocked down 4 times by a very fast, very hard hitting southpaw KO artist before being TKO'd. He was a bigger favorite, but it was a less embarrassing night.

    Wlad always got up! Sanders was better than Rahman.

    Rahman was the epitome of average! Rahman once went 3 years without a win,didnt start fighting until age 20! Rahman couldnt KO or even hurt old fat James Toney,lost to old past prime Holyfield but he KO'd prime Lewis with one punch? Come on!

    Rahman beating Lewis was far more embarrassing!

    As much as I love Lewis, I'll have to say him getting ko'd by Rahman was far more embarassing since it was a 1 shot ko :rofl. But still, Lewis avenged it. Wlad didn't.

    Rahman was legit. Sanders was 37 and out of his prime.

    Anyways.

    I'd say TKO6 is the most humiliating of them all.

    Vitali Gets his face battered up and destroyed
    Cries about it post fight (Hits Lewis and yells "NO NO NO NO" while prancing around the ring raising his hand up trying to signify that he won when in fact he lost)
    - In the interview with Larry Merchant, tries to tell the world he beat Lewis when in fact Lewis dominated him.
    - Never has the chance at redemption
    - Vitali still butthurt over it even after 10 years have passed. See thumbnail.

    LEWIS TKO6

    Wlads is more embarrassing. Lewis came in out of shape and unfocused. Wlad was/is always in shape and focused. Lewis also avenged his loss. Its much more embarrassing to have your brother take care of your dirty work than taking care of it yourself.

    Lewis, as Lewis was the better fighter, so a shock loss for him is always going to be a bigger deal

    However Wlads loss was a beating at the hands of Sanders, Rahman basically 'lucked' out with his punchers chance, he was otherwise losing the fight....so it depends how you view things. However Lewis did right the wrong with a rematch..

    Wlad's reaction after all of his knockdowns was a bit embarrassing, looked dopey stumbling around the ring and looked pretty terrified too. He ahs more than made up for them though.

    I'm a big Lewis fan but would say his loss to Rahman was more embarrassing.

    Wlad was only the WBO champ at the time he lost to Sanders. So he was just top contender losing to another fringe conteder. Lewis was the man, the true heavyweight champ but prepared like a chump. He didn't train properly, didn't give himself time to acclimatise to the high altitude. He completely under rated Rahman and it showed in his performance, he fought a sloppy fight and was basically asking to be KO'ed.
