I was thinking about what's the absolute worst way to lose a fight. Of course a KO is bad, but is there a worse way to lose? Like when Winky Wright made Felix Trinidad look like a frustrated punching bag in a one-sided cruise to a victory or Gatti's corner throwing in the towel because he was taking such a severe beating at the hands of Mayweather with no hope of turning it around.

-Lopsided cruise to victory where the loser was supposedly a dominant fighter before then
-Humiliation to the point where your corner quits for you

Or is there something even worse than those?

The way Roy Jones put a beating on vinnie Pazienza

With vinnie getting seriously outclassed but not ceasing to trash talk and taunt while getting worse and worse a beating and paz got cockyer and cockyer...

Then trying to say that he lost because he timed his coffee wrong lol

See McLellan/Benn.

Winky may have frustrated Tito and he may have cruised to victory but Tito was no punching bag unless all you do on the punching bag is throw jabs, that was a Pernell Whitaker type victory that he put on other boxers (Quartey, Mosley). There is much better examples you can give such as Tito Vs Hopkins or JC Vs Lacy.
