Mine has to be when margarito got knocked out by mosley. I hated seeing him go the way he did and also because it was the day my idol was exposed as nothing much but a fraud. That's why watching cotto beat him was one of my favorite memories in boxing.
Cotto bending his knee to that big ass Mexican. Tito getting schooled and then knocked out is second only because BHop is not a big ass Mexican.
Emile Griffith vs. Benny Paret Ali vs Holmes Every time there's a blatantly incorrect decision, when the fighter who wins doesn't get the decision
Paulie also got two gifts against Tapia. Holmes - Ali fight, saddest moment in boxing for me no question, excluding ring deaths of course.
Tough for me to feel too sorry for McClellan. He was a goddam evil psychopath would have continued on his warpath of pain and destruction.
When Tyson lost to McBride. Im an Irishman but I was hoping Tyson could somehow roll back the years. Was pretty sad to see RJJ stopped inside a round against Danny Green also.
Cotto vs. Margarito I The De La Hoya vs. Trinidad and De La Hoya vs Trinidad II decisions Drained Zombie De La Hoya getting destroyed by Pacquiao The Pacquiao-Bradley Decision Tyson-Lewis, Tyson-Danny Williams, and Tyson-McBride were all saddening RJJ getting KTFO by Tarver the second time, and then spending every year from that fight until now getting smashed by guys he would have tooled in his prime
Too many to mention but recently I felt immense joy after Froch's victory only to be stopped dead in my tracks soon after when I found out one of my all time heroes,Johnny Tapia was dead. Talk about contrasting emotions. And **** all that "he's at peace now" There's kids who've lost their daddy.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBnDaMt9bP4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBnDaMt9bP4[/ame] a man losing all his talent, skils and athletic attributes after the sharpest decline in a fighters performance i have ever known. NO head movement, sluggish slow uncordinated punches. but worse bit is just watching norris's footwork. so many times his feet dont strike the ground, he sumbles, drags and rocking around after not taking anything. guy who was thought to have pugilistic dementia sounds pretty good today. and still has his wits around him. parkinsons syndrome is not parkinsons disease.
