Ten Worst Moments in Boxing

[bradlee180]

Ricky Hatton wasn't a fraud. He was in fact The Man at 140 lbs for a while.
I agree that he was over-rated by the British, but he was no fraud.
Hatton had the guts to step in there with who were considered the top 2 pound-for-pound best in the world when they were at their absolute best. No shame there.

A faded Muhammad Ali fighting a prime Holmes should be on a lit of worst moments in boxing as should an even older, more faded Ali fighting Trevor Berbick a couple of years later.

The Great Joe Louis being done by his own gov't.
Man donated entire fight purses to the war relief in WWII, and how does his gov't thank him?
They tell him those purses were taxable income, and he has to pay taxes on them, and the penalties had continued to pile up.
At the end, his entire fight purses were being seized, and they were not enough to even cover the interest on the principle. Eventually, old Joe was reduced to being a door-greeter at a Las Vegas casino.

Gerald McClellan vs Nigel Benn.

I thought perhaps Tyson/Holyfield rematch, but biting a piece of a man's ear off is something I'd never seen before, so maybe it was worth it.

He went from being dominated by the best in a boxing ring to getting knocked the fuck out in a bar by some chump bouncer. His actions afterwards showed everybody that Hatton's true color was yellow. Did he ever go back to the bar? Did he ever try and get back at that bouncer for laying him out? No. Instead the coward claims an addiction and goes into rehab. Fucking quitter.
