Re: Bravest Performances In Losing Efforts.
Good list. Off the top of my head...
Billy Collins/Resto - Resto beat him with rigged gloves for 10 rounds and Collins fought they whole way through, given the circumstances thats probably one of the biggest displays of heart I've ever seen.
Ray Mercer/Wlad - Ray kept walking through a ton of heavy artillery from Wlad.
Arturo Gatti/Mayweather - 6 of the most one sided rounds you'll ever see, still wanted to continue.
Richard Hall/Roy Jones - Richard Hall took more brutal, power punches to the head than anyone I've ever seen, never even came close to winning a round and was pissed when they stopped it.

benn-mcclellan, poor gerald, still cringe every time i see been land one of those sharp straight rights knowing the actual effect they would eventually take.
bradley stone - poor lad died in the ring and fought like a true warrior!!
Hatton took some crackers during one of his early fights with thaxton - covered from head to toe in blood yet still carried on to nick a points decision.

Yea Benny Kid Paret that was there 3rd meeting, he took about 30 punches in 6 seconds or something like that. I see the footage once and it was horrific, and whats even more scary is that Griffith isn't a big puncher.

I just watched a cool documentary last week they did on Griffith. That fight was the single worst case of negligent reffing I personally have seen. It was a travesty and that ref should have been brought up on charges of murder:mad:

One sided ref? How exactly? Because he had to keep Hatton from trying to have sex with and rabbit punch Mayweather all night? Maybe it's a nationalist thing with the guys here that are from the U.K., but this man love you guys have towards Hatton really gets on my nerves.

Re: Bravest Performances In Losing Efforts.
I don't think Cortez necessarily did anything wrong, but I have to say that performance was inconsistant in relation to the JC - B-hop fight where B-Hop clearly wanted to play Hide the sausage with Calzaghre and got away with it all night. Fact is PBF would've beaten Hatton if Hatton's dad was the ref ;D

Listen here you little cry baby, I don't feel like watching rabbit punches and hugging for the next 20-30 minutes before Mayweather puts him on his ass.
It's time to come to terms with reality: Your boy got his ass whipped, in embarassing fashion, while fighting dirty.
I know it hurts to have someone tell you that, but it's the truth whether you choose to accept it or not.

Corrie Sanders vs Vitali Klitschko....Corrie took a freaking beating as well, he fought back valiantly but lord he took a beating.
Chris Byrd vs Wladimir Klitschko I & II ....Chris being the smaller guy and taking that amount of punishment TWICE...it's unbelieveable

Andrade when he fought Kessler? He wasn't all messed up but he took alot of shots from a pretty decent puncher all night. You could hit Andrade with a refrigerator and the guy is still going to fight:cool:

Lets break down my post shall we?
1.) Hatton got his ass beat. This is a factual statement.
2.) He was consistantly rabbit punching Mayweather throughout the majority of the fight, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it's on film and there's no way to argue with it.
3.) He was attempting to make love to Mayweather. This is the only somewhat debatable point that I made, but let me tell you, after the first couple rounds I was POSITIVE that Hatton wanted to be Mayweather's girlfriend. It's hilarious the way he threw his body into him in a " Oh Floyd, hold me " manner.
So, basically what you're working with is board status ( meaningless, because it has nothing to do with the discussion ), and your personal bias. I don't really have any bias in this, because it's a known fact that I don't like Mayweather. I should also note that I bought the fought and started watching it wanting Hatton to not only win, but knock Mayweather the fuck out and hopefully impair his ability to speak, so you can't say that I'm " just some hater ". To the contrary, I'm someone that desperately wanted Hatton to win before the fight started, and was so disgusted by how he performed that I stopped caring altogether.

Re: Bravest Performances In Losing Efforts.
Also, I want everyone here to know that I'm not trying to stir up trouble, but calling that performance brave is a statement I can't help but argue with.

No really there was no complaints from Hatton fans when he mugged and repeatedly used Tszyu's nuts as a speed bag was there.. Fair is fair right?
