Boxers big fight biggest "mistake"

[FLINT ISLAND]

We all know of Enzo Maccarenellis high profile big mistake in the David Haye fight of dropping his hands and putting his chin in the air.

The video I posted the other day showed Michael Grants huge mistake of taking the fight aggresively to Lennox Lewis from the opening bell :bbb:bbb:bbb:bbb:bbb:bbb

Oscar De La Hoya danced away the last 3 rounds on against Felix Trinidad as if it was a marathon contest - it cost him the fight - and earned him the nickname "Chicken De La Hoya"

If some of these fighters had not made the fatal "mistake" the fight could have resulted in a much better result for them

What other big "mistakes" have cost a boxer badly in big fights?

Enzo didnt drop his hands, he dropped his pants. Sorry pal but "he dropped his hands" regarding Haye is no "get out" lol

On another note for me it was Peden Vs. Campbell............Campbell stuck his chin out ala "hitme" Robbie did :deal

[mcguirpa]

Eastman showboating and pretending to rest on the ropes against Joppy. Probably cost him the fight.

Lacy turning up for the fight against Calzaghe. Big mistake.

Naz not training for the barerra fight.

[GazOC]

On another note for me it was Peden Vs. Campbell............Campbell stuck his chin out ala "hitme" Robbie did :deal

Toney did the same to RJJ and got put on his arse.

[LHL]

Edward rackly showing up for any fight

[FLINT ISLAND]

Paul Silky Jones done some simliar "hit me" motion to Ryan Rhodes if my memory serves me right

Rhodes sparked him with the next punch :lol::lol::lol:

[FLINT ISLAND]

Enzo getting pissed out on the town with the boys the night before he fought Lee Swaby

Mike Tyson enjoying champyne and high class call girls in the weeks leading up to the buster douglas fight

Mike Tyson leaving Bill Cayton and signing with Don King

(outside ring mistakes can be mentioned too)

[FLINT ISLAND]

Lennox Lewis acting smug and complacent before Hasim Rahman dropped him

[mrbassie]

Toney did the same to RJJ and got put on his arse.

that shouldn't have been counted, Jones jumped into him and bundled him over, a punch didn't put him down.

Mayorga letting Trinidad have a free one on the chin, there's confidence and then there's stupidity.

If had not made that mistake...........................David Haye would have never boxed again !!!!!

[FLINT ISLAND]

Oliver McCall being allowed into the ring with his current mental condition against Lennox Lewis in 1997 rematch

Letting Lennox Lewis have open shots on you 100% unprotected is a sucide attempt !!!!

[FLINT ISLAND]

Mills Lane allowing the round to end before he DQ Mike Tyson for biting Holyfields ear

[FLINT ISLAND]

Roy Jones punching Montell Griffin when he was down

Colin Jones done the same thing to Curtis Ramsey

Both fighters were winnning the fight.................and both DQ

[FLINT ISLAND]

Montell Griffin getting Roy mad by getting him DQ and then getting in the ring with a angry and motivated Roy Jones in a rematch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HairyHighlander]

If had not made that mistake...........................David Haye would have never boxed again !!!!!

[Fat Joe]

Calzaghe's gurning against Bika, made himself look like a cunt.

[GazOC]

6:40 in, he didn't get put on his arse because of the post/ ropes but he got caught by a left hook.

"I'm man enough to admit that I made a mistake"

[mrbassie]

Jones hit him with a left hook.

doesn't matter, it didn't put him down, jumping into him did

Bika, the man they wont touch, damn shame one of his best showings turned on him

[FLINT ISLAND]

6:40 in, he didn't get put on his arse because of the post/ ropes but he got caught by a left hook.

I've watched this fight a thousand times !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FLINT ISLAND]

Frank ****** putting Khan in the ring with unknown quatity Bedis Prescott !!!

Amazing mistake !!!!

[GazOC]

doesn't matter, it didn't put him down, jumping into him did

Nah, the def. punch threw him off balance and panicked Toney, Jones only moved into the space that Toney gave up because he'd been hit.

If Toney had of gone on his arse or to a knee that would have been legit knockdown. No question. Only the ropes made the decision debateable.

[faisal]

taylor going toe to toe with chavez in the 12th and not trying to survive

Mike Tyson marrying Robin Givens and marrying Ruth Roper

Mike Tyson trusting Deseree Wasington

Ali fighting Larry Holmes and Trevor Berbick when he was clearly past it

Probaly done lasting physical damage that contributed to his now damaged health

[Beeston Brawler]

Any boxer allowing a sanctioning body/commission to appoint Eddie Cotton to be the referee.

Lennox must have thought he was in a triple threat WWF match!

[FLINT ISLAND]

Nigel Benn fighting on after the Malinga fight

he could have gone out on a fairytale ending proposing to his girl in a boxing ring on live TV like a Rocky figure

instead he went out retired on his stool to boo's from the crowd

Too many boxers make the mistake of fighting on longer than they should.

The one thing I've seen that made me cringe, made me feel sick was when Calzaghe pretended to fuck B-Hop up the arse. I could see it was just an instictive thing, and out of character, but it was fucking horrible. It seems to have been glossed over but I really think that it was unacceptable really. And I fucking hate B-hop as well, but it just wasn't right. I think when people look back over JC's legacy and watch all his big fights they will always see that for ever, I bet it haunts Joe, it would me.

Also Rahman in the second Lewis fight listening to his corner tell him to stick his arms out as a form of defence. The very next round KABOOM!!!! Massive right hand round the back of Rahmans outstretched arms. Bunch of dumb cunts.

Bernard getting dry humped by a white boy - I bet that will haunt him forever:lol:

[LHL]

Mayorga dropping his hands all the time i think the damage done by those shots will catch up on him :verysad

[xoborp]

Herol Graham forgetting who he was up against, when his opponent couldnt see because of the swelling around his eyes, and then getting very overconfident and then BAM, knocked clean out by Julian Jackson.....

[slipnduck]

Herol Graham forgetting who he was up against, when his opponent couldnt see because of the swelling around his eyes, and then getting very overconfident and then BAM, knocked clean out by Julian Jackson.....

Them are the two that imediately jumped to my mind - Graham getting sparked by a man he was easily outboxing, and like the man said before, Meldrick Taylor getting KOed in the last seconds by Chavez who he'd outboxed all the way.

[Beeston Brawler]

Rafa Marquez forgetting to clinch in the last round of the third fight with Vasquez.

A draw would have been about fair.... but if you are ahead going into the last round, as Marquez was, losing is criminal.

[SouthpawSlayer]

enzo's biggest mistake was starting to box in the first place

[TBooze]

Battling Siki defending his World Championship against Mike McTigue; in the then basically war torn Dublin, on St Patrick's Day, is kind of a biggie!

Hagler running in the last few rounds against Vito.

Nicky Piper taking a catchweight contest against an alleged Journeyman cruiserweight at less than 24 hours notice....

Alex Garcia not taking a $1Million pay day against Riddick Bowe, because he wanted a tune up (and lost in two, to Mike Dixon)

Morrison wanting to fight in front of his home fans as a warm up to a proposed Lewis fight in early 1994 (and lost to Michael Bentt in a round)

Enzo didnt drop his hands, he dropped his pants. Sorry pal but "he dropped his hands" regarding Haye is no "get out" lol

Thats the first fight I thoght of when I saw this thread.

[girv]

Juan Manuel Marquez's management turning down $750,000 for a rematch after the first fight with Pacquiao then being stripped of one of his belts because no one met the purse bids and then going to Indonesia to get robbed of his other belt by Chris John instead, for $30,000!

[bronze_bandit]

..Nate Campbell sticking out his chin for Robbie Peden, jus so he can prove he can take his shots....massive FAIL!!?

We all make mistakes

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO BE MAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT YOU MADE A MISTAKE

No, the most important thing is to be man enough to admit when you've just been totally outclassed rather than using an imaginery 'mistake' as a pathetic exucse :yep

[FLINT ISLAND]

But in all seriouness - Enzo Macc - has never said or thought he was outclassed.

The fight was quite even until the sudden explosive end

I think that was my point.

The fight was quite even until the weigh in. Enzo got outclassed during the weigh-in, embarrasingly dominated during the ring walks (using 'walk' fairly loosely in Enzo's case obviously) and smashed in the ring.

[FLINT ISLAND]

I think that was my point.

:huh

HOW ON EARTH TO YOU DRAW THE CONCLUSION HE WAS OUTCLASSED AT THE WEIGH IN

IT SEEMED TO ME HAYE WAS SHEEPISH AND WANTED TO LOOK AWAY

[Cobbler]

:huh

HOW ON EARTH TO YOU DRAW THE CONCLUSION HE WAS OUTCLASSED AT THE WEIGH IN



I watched it.

[brown bomber]

Calzaghe showboating against Jones jnr...... it looked pants.

[brown bomber]

lnr0HpwqvFM&feature=related:lol::lol::lol:

Pants

[mike464]

Amir Khan says he made a mistake against Prescott. I think his mistake was fighting someone his own size.

[FLINT ISLAND]

I think that was my point.

I didnt see anything of the sort at the weigh in

Haye looked sheepish

Enzo looks buzzing with confidence giving a thumbs up to the crowd
