Jim Watt got beat and schooled by Ken Buchanan.
Jim Watt got beat and schooled by Ken Buchanan.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I ALMOST FORGOT -
Haye v Fury .
Duran demolishing Moore? Reggie Johnson welcoming William Guthrie to the real world. Rubio v Bojado. Nate Campbell battering Kid Diamond! Any random handful of Glen Johnson upsets, rob jobs and revocations of father time.
Pazienza's knockout of Rosenblatt was pretty surprising.
Charles "The Hatchet" Brewer vs. Scott Pemberton in a knock down drag out war.
Jesse James Leija vs. Lazcano, Camacho Jr. and Camacho.
For my money he beat all three, schooled em. He was a great lil fighter.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
That KO was the first time I've ever seen a guy get up and then fall after looking like he got hit again. The fall after was harder than the actual contact fall. He did the stanky leg. He even looked te wrong way, away from his opponent. I love Zab , but that's an all time memory burnt into my brain.
Fernando Geurrero getting that ass beat by Grady brewer..
There's a big difference between prospect and contender. Not to mention prospect and former champion. Prospect and actual champion? I'm not even gonna bother with that one. Damn near all the ones mentioned don't even apply.
Joe Calzaghe-Jeff Lacy
Bernard Hopkins-Kelly Pavlik/Felix Trinidad
Michael Grant-Lennox Lewis
Ray Mercer-Jesse Ferguson/Larry Holmes
Jesse James Leija-Juan Lazcano
Reggie Johnson-William Guthrie
Carl Froch-Lucian Bute
Wladimir Klitschko-David Haye
Lacy, Bute, Haye and Trinidad where actual champions when they lost. Pavlik, Mercer and Guthrie were former champions. Lazcano (who didn't even lose) and Grant were contenders. None of them were close to being consider a young prospect.
Leija-Bojado. Guerrero-Brewer and Thompson-Haye apply. Those are good examples of prospect vs verteran. The rest are just moronic examples
Not when he lost to Thompson. Thompson had been around years and been dropped in nearly all his later fights, lost 6 times KO'd 5. He had just beaten Rothman but took an absolute hiding before stopping Rothman and he then retired. Haye was coming through and brought Thompson out of retirement to have his name on his record and the concesus was that Haye would rip right through him but after throwing everything at Thompson and failing even to drop him, he started getting tagged himself. He got dropped and was on shaky legs while Thompson wailed away and the ref had to jump in and save him at the same time Booth was throwing the towel in![]()
I dunno meing, Guthrie had a trinket but in reality he was as pure untested 'prospect' as they come. Took courts and judges for a shot at a stripped gimme trinket and then pole axed by written off inactive, totally unranked veteran in Johnson, who was jumping up not one but two weight classes. Poor dude peaked and crashed for good all in 4+ rounds?! I got Rubio clowning Bojado above Leija pulling it off.
