    The Katsidis interview was guy wrenching. He tried so hard to honor his brother in the ring and came up short. You could tell he was fighting much more than JMM that night.

    Meldrick Taylor's later career -- I felt dirty just tuning in to a broadcast showing him; like I was part of the reason he was in the ring despite not being able to cognitively function.

    plenty..

    i wasn't a huge huge fan of gatti like many on here but i was down when he lost against that contender dude. That was wack.

    Tyson vs Mcbride was awful..that was the end of it.

    Jones against Calzaggy.

    Morales v pac 3.

    not including the deaths and major injuries..that's another story/thread.

    yup that was sad.... it was Johnnie Edwards


    another sad moment from the same season was when Oscar Diaz collapsed and went into a coma for 2 months after taking a brutal beating from Delvin Rodriguez for 11 rds and they kept updating it on FNF each week

    I haven't read through the comments, but I'm sure others have said it - I find the fact that the biggest fight of my generation, one of the biggest fights of all time, a fight that could give boxing a much needed shot in the arm - hasn't been yet, and continues to be so difficult to put together. It really is sad...borderline heartbreaking.

    RJJ losing to Danny Green was bad

    so many people watching that didnt know **** about RJJ were claiming it was a massive win etc, failing to realise a few years prior Green would have been lying on the deck in about 5 pieces

    the robberies lara vs williams , chisora vs helenius .

    b hop vs dawson bull **** PPV a fight i wasted my money on

    pac vs may fight not happening ,

    bute vs ward not happening immeidately.

    pacs recent opponents been pretty disguted safety first cherry pick margs then mosley . they thought it would be another wit JMM but they thought wrong n almost lost.

    seeing jermaine get ko'd by froch then abe i felt bad for JT. but hes rich as **** so i really dont feel bad

    IMO seeing the supersix fail it kinda sucked . the hometown fights were disguting fighters pulling out due to injuries. i though dirrell beat froch in england. then i though froch beat kessler in denmark , but the hometown fiters win no doubt in a decision .abe vs dirrell sucked i think andre was actin btw.

    watchin boxing go down the drain and watchin MMA rise because the top fighers likely always fight eachother . even tho im a mma fan as well but boxing to me is the best ever .
