    Hamed Barrera was one of the worst because of Hamed's cockiness, and getting punked on the turnbuckle. Hasim's rematch loss to Lewis was almost as bad. But the absolute worst was Oscar's loss to Tito because of the way he fought rounds 9-12. :smoke

    Foreman had nothing to be ashamed of, and he got revenge 20 years later wearing the sam trunks!

    Dempsey destroying Willard, Forman beating frazier 1st fight dubbed murder in Jamaica. Both where pretty bad.

    I thought after Fernando Vargas lost to Tito Trinidad he was never the same, the same goes for Meldrick Taylor versus Chavez as well.

    Tyson's aura and mystique were gone after Buster.

    Not at all. Everyone knew Tyson didnt train for the Buster fight. Trust me people still feared that ****ing monster. Tyson beat Buster anyways. ****ing 14 count.

    He wasnt physically beaten, but mentally he couldnt handle the loss and he quit boxing.

    Mancini v Kim
    Benn v McClellan
    Chavez v Taylor

    The loser of those three matches were never the same mentally or physically. Too bad for Taylor he doesnt even have the satisfaction of the win over Chavez.

    Check it out on YouTube. He literally needed to tape them on, as the elastic bands had worn thin after 20 years. He wanted to Erase the Ghosts of Zaire.

    It doesn't matter WHY he lost.

    Pre-Douglas Tyson was seen by many as invincible.

    After Douglas, while he was still formidable, the aura of invincibility was gone.

    Do you believe that Holyfield would have beaten Tyson a year before the Douglas fight ?
