Which would it be, what result of what fight was the worst ever for you?? I know the Mcclellen and Johnson fights will come into this but some people wern't fans then or just didn't really follow the fighter, Ive only followed boxing for 3 years and the way Tyson went out of the sport just wasn't right, Id change the Mcbride fight to a KO1 then he could have retired :cool:.
Come December tho that might change :dead but have faith and Hatton will do it!

Tarver knocking out Roy Jones jr. I can't watch that fight.:-(
Don't get me wrong I like Tarver, but RJJ is my all time favorite boxer and to see him get KO'd like that was horrible. And the fact that Tarver was so cocky before the fight "You got any excuses tonight Roy? and then knocks him out made it even worse.
RJJ by KO round 6 would've been a great result.

Fenech - Nelson I
Also, Ali - Foreman. If those ropes really were deliberately loosened then it is like Foreman should have won.

The first Lewis-Rahman fight. Lewis was an idiot, overweight, not acclimatised and totally complacent. He was his own worst enemy at times and had he just trained and gone in there focused and prepared for the environment (so not gasping for oxygen by round 2) he would have won in the manner he did in the rematch.
The haters would then only have one defeat to mention against McCall when he was back up by the count of 6 and should have been allowed to continue. He was not the fighter he developed into then either, so one defeat avenged and not actually down for the count either would look so much better.
There would be a lot less disrespect to a brilliant career and he would be listed higher.
All down to stupid complaceny and not enough respect for the conditions and the opponent.

Very good pick.
I'm actually starting to regret it a bit. After all, Ali earned that win in the most closely contested fight of all time. But the names Ali called Frazier going into that one kind of grates on me.
Plus I was ticked that Reggie picked Ali-Frazier I above.

I sympathise and I like your reasons for making the pick (SHUT THE FUCK UP ZAKMAN) but I feel like Lewis sorted that mistake out for himself ;)

Pac-Morales III. I'd change it to a UD for Morales.

the fact that this happened also gave us the rematch to watch and revel in.
Bottom line. Take away Joe's loss and you also deprive him of his biggest win.
Not to mention the single biggest propoganda blow to the war-party Nazis.

I'd agree with that.

jones jr vs tarver 2
Benn / GM,
GM takes a knee in the 10th, Benn wins the fight, Gerald gets up and goes home to rebuild his life, just fine, with only 1 loss on his record and a perfect bill of health.

Tyson/Lewis, I never wanted I fighter to win so bad before. If Tyson would of won by knockout it would of put Tyson back in the spotlight atop the heavywieght division, Tyson brought the magic only a select few could bring to the fight game.
