    Default What is the most disappointed you've ever been about anything boxing related?

    For me, it's the poor quality of today's boxing writers.


    How about you?

    Muhammad Ali

    May 1979

    For selling his WBA Championship Belt for $400,000 to Bob Arum.

    Lennox Lewis sold it $1million to Don King rather than defend it against Ruiz. Inflation.

    To answer the thread, probably that Mayweather/Pac didn't happen in 2009-2011 when it meant something.

    You can not be serious! Lewis beats Ruiz is 2 rounds just like the South African Botha.

    Say what you want about Quiet Ruiz, but he was not a bum like Botha!

    Bowe dumped it so he would not get his ass beat. That was not for nothing.

    October 1980

    Muhammad Ali

    On stage in Las Vegas, Muhammad was reciting a poem about Larry Holmes, and
    what he would do to him when they fought in a week.

    Muhammad was slow-talking and 'slurring' his words.

    It was embarrassing. I felt pity for the man.

    Buster Douglas was disappointing. Leon Spinks was disappointing. Riddick Bowe was disappointing. Andrew Golota was disappointing. Uncle Remus was disappointing.

    Tough question, as there's been many.

    But I'll go with CJ Ross seeing a tie..... TIE..... in the total whitewash shutout handed to Canelo by Mayweather. The second most disappointing thing was not having Ross investigated on suspicion of accepting bribe money from the Sulaimans.

    Pretty hard to top this 5 year jokathon ride when you consider other fighters like Leonard/Duran going to the dance twice in 6 months.

    As far as pure downer goes its tough to top King's scheming to get the Ali/Holmes fight and Larry and him for actually going through with it.
    Closely in second place would be the Wbc since fragmenting from the Wba. They have been a total dumpster fire for the last 40 years.

    edit:And the fact that most fighters seek out that particular piece of tin after all the evidence is in is also ongoing disappointment. If it was the oldest I might turn the cheek a little but.....

    Angelo Dundee

    January 1981

    Trying to convince Muhammad Ali to give it 'one more try' after getting demolished
    by Larry Holmes.

    Word has it, that Angelo was having a 'new home' built in Miami Beach, and he wanted
    to squeeze another $250,000 {Trainer's Fee} out of Muhammad's hide before he was sent out to pasture.
