The headbutting had nothing to do with the fact Tyson was getting his @ss kicked. That's just the justification delusional Tyson fans use to try to live with the fact that their icon is inferior to Holyfield.

Ricky Hatton dodging every good fighter on God's green Earth WTF?

How in the world did you get to be a forum champ on this forum?
Who has hatton dodged? His very first step up was Tszyu.. He then fought his next three fights as world title bouts.. Do you have any idea of the sort of skill level that fighters like urango and collazo even have?
These men are better then you can ever imagine.. Nevermind theyr records or how they have performed in the past.. If you had any of these men directly in front of you doing what they do.. You would take it all back...
Also i agree tyson's ear biting is not as bad as made out when you consider the headbutts...
And i beleive the sucker punch is obviously the worst...
But this poll is silly since you cannot compare hatton to those two..
Re: Most Cowardly Act Ever Witnessed in Boxing
Even though Butler and Tyson's outbursts were more dispicable, I can somewhat understand them getting caught up in the heat of the moment. Hatton, however, performs his acts of cowardice during negotiations, and that is much lower IMO. That, my friends, is true cowardice.

You know, reading this I honestly can't tell if you love Hatton or hate him ;D ;D ;D because I'm positive that HAS to be sarcasm; "Do you have any idea the sort of skill level that fighters like urango and collazo even have?" ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D lmmfao

Well written.. People who have not seen live pro boxing, or even seen a good pro train , really don't appreciate how skillful and how hard even a "feather fisted" pro hits.
Re: Most Cowardly Act Ever Witnessed in Boxing
Yea Tyson was a bully looking for way out everytime things didnt go his way.
Hatton love him or loath him he is a good fighter
Re: Most Cowardly Act Ever Witnessed in Boxing
From that list, no question it was James Butler's cheap shot.
Because it wasn't an act in the heat of the moment. It was well after the fight and after the cards were read.
I'd also add to the list of most cowardly acts,
- Panama Lewis stripping the padding off his fighter's gloves.
- I don't remember the names but they showed a clip during a FNF or something where one of the fighters raised his hand to touch gloves at the start of the fight but the other guy smacked him with a sucker punch and instantly knocked him out. I know it's not against the rules and you should protect yourself at all times, but that was the most gawdamn cowardly act of unsportsmanship.
- Golota constant nad attacks.

I remember the incident you mentioned where the fighter went to touch gloves and got folded and that wasn't cowardly at all. Dirty? Maybe, but nothing cowardly about that. If anything, it was stupidity on the other fighters part. I also don't think Golata's act was cowardly because he was kicking Riddick's @ss. That had nothing to do with fear, that was just a crazy guy with issues.

You say dirty, I say cowardly. You say potato, I say potato. (Wait, that phrase doesn't work too good on the internet)
In my opinion, a coward does whatever he can to get out of his position of adversity even if it means creating more.
The sucker puncher's adversity was stepping in the ring. He wanted out and was looking for the quickest way possible. Dirty? Yes. Opportunist? Definitely. Coward? I'd say so.

That was Gabriel Krizan vs. Angel Torres. Gabriel Krizan has never fully recovered from that punch. I think your assessment is correct in calling it cowardly. Because he obviously didn't think he could beat him when his guard was up so he punched him when his guard was down. He knew that Gabriel was looking to touch gloves to start the match and he hit him anyway. While not illegal it is still repulsive to me that an act of sportsmanship cost Gabriel Krizan so much.
