Fights in which a fighter was CLEARLY overconfident

[Sleepwalker]

Win or lose.

Pavlik vs Hopkins. Pavlik's camp were boasting about how he was going to knock B-Hop out, but instead got schooled. Pavlik's career hasn't been the same since.

Ali vs Frazier I. Ali was shuckin' and jiving early on and gave away the first 3-4 rounds.

Floyd vs Castillo I

*"Overconfident" and "unmotivated" are not the same.*

[TitoFan]

I know this one's been done to death, but.................

[Spicoli]

The dancing and dismissal of Word started in the pre interview, the ring walk...and went until 1st bell.

[bradlee180]

Nate Campbell against Robbie Peden that time...

[Tam Seddon]

Groves in the second fight after a lot of people forgot what Froch had done to so many other champions and thought Frochs time had passed...

[Bill Paxtom]

Larry Holmes vs. Muhammad Ali

Word has it, that Larry bet $1,000,000 on himself {at 'Even Odds'} that he would 'stop' Ali.

Larry pulled in a 'cool' million.

Now that's confidence.

Lets be fair and honest, are you saying Groves didn't make Froch look bad in their first fight?😳

Abner Mares vs Jhonny Gonzalez

The first 20 guys to face Wilder.

Every prospect that gets hammered by a 10-15 journeyman.

Felix Trinidad vs. Wink Wright... he sure, sure, sure as hell thought he would knock Wright out. He cried afterwards.


Khan vs. Garcia. Khan could have sworn he would outbox and out-class Garcia. Until he got chin checked.


Camacho vs. Chavez... Camacho actually felt he would win that fight. lololol.....
