thats what i thought, only thing that ever broke my heart was the last ever scene of blackadder

other than that im pretty much indestructable

How about Hatton-Pac. Take that one in stride, mate, eh? ;D

---

it hurt, mainly due to the fact i realised that i had advised all my mates to get on hatton to win and they had thus spent hundreds on my advice

I wasnt worried about their loss of earnings, silly c*nts shouldnt listen to me - but i was concerned with my physical well being ;D;D;D

Shit you can't even collect trading cards anymore cause these guys in sports switch thier loyalties so much. Yet i've seen people willing to start fights, talk shit, sell thier firstborn for some fighter that doesn't even know they exist.......yet do all that and call them to support you in any way in any area of your life, and see how loud that dial tone gets....

cOLD STUFF BUT i TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM.

Oh my this one is painfully easy for me. Who's let me down more than Iron Mike? To this day, if you told me Mike planned to come back in his 40's for a grudge match againt Evander, part of me would rejoice at seeing him in the ring again, even if most of me knew better and oughta to be ashamed.

I'm a product of the 80's and no one gave life to the late 80's boxing world like Mike. I loved him and I love him still. His entire career after 1990 is just heartbreaking to relive. Time and again I would get super pumped and let down. Excited again and let down. I remember thinking he actually had a shot againt Lewis on fight night. There was always something about Mike that made you ignore your better judgement about what he had left in the tank. For me he was always one punch from being back on top and I would will it with all my heart and it made no difference.

Being a fan of Mike Tyson has permanently exhausted my emotions.


And whoever said Joe Louis vs Rocky Marciano... hell yea, spot on. That one was heart wrenching. Thank you Rock for being merciful and knocking him stupid when you did.

My dad's chiming in saying he watched Frasier/Foreman at a bar with a bunch of his buddies on fight night and was just devestated when Smokin Joe got bounced off the canvas six times by that young upstart. I can see where he's coming from. Frasier is an easy cat to like and he got manhandled.

Ina Menzer....grrrr ;D

Herol Graham losing to Grant could not speak to anyone for hours just gutted as I watched it live.

Didn't really brake my heart that. Sad to see, but it was obvious Hatton wasn't right and as time has gone on that has been confirmed. Plus he was beat by a steroid cheat. So no. definately not heart broken.

frank bruno, in the second tyson fight

i ripped his posters off my wall

thing is yrs later i find out he was very mentally ill, so feel guilty now.

I dont know that the word is broken hearted but, after Margarito was caught I was very disappointed, embaressed, and pissed off.

Gina Carino broke mine when she got mugged by that hulk. :twak:

Yes, it is near Gotham. ;D

Chuck DAVEY OVER Chico Vejar. College kid beats blue collar guy. I wept. :-X

Jermain Taylor

I thought he was something special- something really special. When he beat Hopkins the first time, I was ecstatic despite the controversy surrounding the close decision. I felt a prospect I'd detected myself was going to be a phenom and I had this smug pride when he won the title.
After that:eek:

Antonio Margarito

I had backed Cotto heavily before the Battle. That night was a revelation. Not for a second did I lose an ounce of respect for Miguel, but I gained a lot for Margarito.
Then he turns around and gets exposed for cheating.

I thought the same thing. J.T. Although I wasn't a huge fan just the way he lost his fight's were very heart breaking. Pavlik,Froch,Abraham and all happening in very dramatic fashion.

Junior Witter I really fancied him to beat Hatton then when the lazy bastard let Bradley (Classy fighter) outwork him in his own back yard, well I didn't even watch the rest of the fight card that included a Froch fight.
