Fighters Who Will Be Remembered for Their Lowest Moments
	
	
		Most fighters are remembered for the great heights they reached, like Joe Louis being the longest reigning heavyweight champion, or Hopkins destroying Trinidad, etc. But who are boxers who are remembered for their lowest moments? Of course the first one who comes to mind is Michael Spinks, and we all know why. Also, I'm convinced when he's retired Zab Judah's long lasting legacy will always be the 'Judah dance.' Who else is there?

		Andrew golota and all that might have been if he didnt short circuit all the time?
Biting Sampson po'uha when he was hurt
Low blowing D.Nicholson
Destroying Michael Grant through 9 rounds and plan azz quitting and turning his back.
Neutering Riddick Bowe twice   Etc.Etc.
That scum bag James Butler for KOing Richard Grant after the fight when Grant went to shake his hand....Later Murderd Max Kellermans Brother >:mad

 LMAO, neutering Bowe. I'd CC you for a great morning laugh, but I already did. I agree, what a let down and showed how much mental strngth has to do with this game. Zab also{no reasons necessary as I think all know why :-\} Mike Tyson for me, as he was the shnizzle-mc-fizzle, or whatever ::** What a long term let down for me. After Douglas, and really Cus, never was the same, and began one of the worst downward spirals I know of, until he became a punchline to a bad joke IMO.

Zab Judah for his chicken dance after getting nailed by KT.The same for Berbick after Tyson KOd him.
Jeff Lacy for talking the talk but then getting the beating of his life.

Re: Fighters Who Will Be Remembered for Their Lowest Moments
	
	
		Also, Buster Douglas. After destiny decided to grant him immortal status, he became his usual hit and miss self. I liked Douglas, so let down for me. Also Bowe, who redefined the phrase eating in bed, lol. Always seemed like he was, I don't know, irritated or despondent in the ring, like he was thinking about all the food he was missing. He could have made one of my dream fights with my boy-o Lennox. Still had a good career, so I guess it's me being selfish.

I agree James Butler is one of the biggest piece's of trash to not only disgrace the sport of boxing but walk the planet.
Here are a few that might make the list- not sure if lowest moment means they did something shameful or not?
Some of these guys just had a bad minute in their career.
Kostya Tszyu not being able to finish the Hatton fight.
Alexis Arguello being man handled by Arron Pryor
Marvin Hagler and the look on his face when Ray Leonard was awarded the win
Mike Tyson refusing to get up against that heavyweight impersonator Kevin McBride
Hasim Rahman for running out of gas and losing his title for the second time in his rematch against Maskaev
Ike Ibeabuchi for going to prison when he had all the potential to clean out the heavyweight division

Re: Fighters Who Will Be Remembered for Their Lowest Moments
	
	
		Michael Spinks is a really good example. If you ask someone about Spinks, first answer you'll get is, "that's the guy who KO'd in 91 seconds by Tyson."
Everyone forgets just how good of a fighter Spinks was.
How about Emile Griffith? Best known for his opponent dying in the ring.

 Sorry man but you got it wrong on almost all of these. Kostya is forever linked to Judah, fortunately for him he's the one who scored the knockout so that is the first thing that comes to mind when people think of him. And Hagler is remembered more than anything else for the war with Hearns, and also being arguable the greatest middleweight to walk the earth. As for Tyson, most people have already completely forgotten who Kevin McBride even is, so even if he is remembered for one of his losses, it would be either the biting incident or the Lennox beating or even the upset in Tokyo, not McBride. Ultimately he'll either be remembered for being the baddest man on the planet or the craziest boxer who ever lived, not for his fight against McBride. And Rahman is remembered for what happened with Lennox, both his stunning upset win and getting KTFO.

 LMAO, neutering Bowe. I'd CC you for a great morning laugh, but I already did. I agree, what a let down and showed how much mental strngth has to do with this game. Zab also{no reasons necessary as I think all know why :-\} Mike Tyson for me, as he was the shnizzle-mc-fizzle, or whatever ::** What a long term let down for me.

 Tyson definitely "The Bite"
And Maybe Zab for His epileptic body shock attack Vs.Kostyas fist Lol.

There is a lot of low points Tyson will be remembered for...I will have to agree with Body Puncher on the McBride thing...It was sadder then seeing Tyson laying in a heap after Lennox KO'd him just leaning on the bottom rope refusing to get up after going down against McBride...This is a guy Tyson would have made a record KO against in his prime

 Believe it or not Spicoli', I was going to put Foster down for just that reason. He's one of my favorite fighters and my earliest memories are of my dad cheering him on and the Quarry/Rondon destructions. Couoldn't bring myself to list his miserable heavyweight failures.

 Completely disagree with these 3.
Tszyu will more likely be remember for making Zab do the dance. ;)
On a more serious note Tszyu will be remembered most for being P4P the best fighter of his time and argueably establishing himself as the all time Light Welterweight.
I fell of my chair when I read the next to names (For the people who commented on the "Underrated" thread the other night here you are ;) )
Body Puncher, to me Alexis is possibly the most skilled fighter to step foot in the ring. The way he stepped to the side to make you miss while both hands held high as he quickly countered you with a vicious straight right a thing but yet powerful arm stretched to perfection as it hit you followed immidiately was a left hook that thumped your ear drums and down you went. Alexis to me is a precise puncher who put punches together like music notes. He is also the only fighter whos won titles in 3 divisions, never lost a title fight after wining a title and defended his titles at least once. 
Hagler IMO will be remembered more for his reign as the best Middle since Monzon. Also P4P up there with the best, matter a fact I think I remember more Hagler punching Minters mouth piece out and the mouth piece flying like 10 fucken rows back. ;D 
I think Hagler himself brought all that negative attention after the SRL fight more then anyone. I mean he disappeared from boxing, he went into seclusion I mean he could have fought Barkley, Kalambay or Tate instead he he left to Italy. Anyway I think his accomplishment are much more rememebered by fans then his fight with SRL. Actually I remember Hagler vs. Vito I, more then the SRL decision. Not to mention the Hearns fight which is seen as one of the greatest fights ever.

 Completely disagree with these 3.
Tszyu will more likely be remember for making Zab do the dance. ;)
On a more serious note Tszyu will be remembered most for being P4P the best fighter of his time and argueably establishing himself as the all time Light Welterweight.
I fell of my chair when I read the next to names (For the people who commented on the "Underrated" thread the other night here you are ;) )
Body Puncher, to me Alexis is possibly the most skilled fighter to step foot in the ring. The way he stepped to the side to make you miss while both hands held high as he quickly countered you with a vicious straight right a thing but yet powerful arm stretched to perfection as it hit you followed immidiately was a left hook that thumped your ear drums and down you went. Alexis to me is a precise puncher who put punches together like music notes. He is also the only fighter whos won titles in 3 divisions, never lost a title fight after wining a title and defended his titles at least once. 
Hagler IMO will be remembered more for his reign as the best Middle since Monzon. Also P4P up there with the best, matter a fact I think I remember more Hagler punching Minters mouth piece out and the mouth piece flying like 10 fucken rows back. ;D 
I think Hagler himself brought all that negative attention after the SRL fight more then anyone. I mean he disappeared from boxing, he went into seclusion I mean he could have fought Barkley, Kalambay or Tate instead he he left to Italy. Anyway I think his accomplishment are much more rememebered by fans then his fight with SRL. Actually I remember Hagler vs. Vito I, more then the SRL decision. Not to mention the Hearns fight which is seen as one of the greatest fights ever.

		I don't mean to be distasteful, but I think Gerald McClellan will be remembered for 'that' fight, and not all the good ones he had before?

		Carlos Monzon?
Sonny Liston?
Don Curry?
Herol Graham?
I don't think Tyson will be, it's just that it's fresh in our memories. Give it ten years and he will be an absolute legend again.

		I am absolutely SHOCKED that Oliver McCall and his crying fit in the rematch vs Lewis has been omitted this far.
The following fighters were very good but COULD be remembered for their tough losses
Ingmar Johannsen for being nearly killed by Floyd Patterson
Floyd Patterson for being demolished by Sonny Liston TWICE and beaten into retierment by Ali
Jake LaMatta for the Saint Valentines Day Massacre
Tommy Hearns for running out of gas vs Ray Leonard and getting out gunned by Marvin Hagler

 Monzon.... Really?
I bet if you ask people here more then 60% of the people will have no idea what your talking about. 
Not a lot of people know about the stuff that wen't on outside the ring unless your a hardcore to the bone fan and have read up on it.
For me I like to remember Monzon for almost punching off Ninos head with that deadly right hand. My god was that brutal!!  :o

		IMO, Kermit Cintron for being a cur in the Margarito fight. Guy basically quit and then starts crying. I hope he gets his mind right and good luck to him, but I'll never forget that b.s.; embarassing just watching it.
