Fights in which a fighter was CLEARLY overconfident

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

Nate Campbell against Robbie Peden that time...

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...

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?😳

Lennox Lewis vs Hasim Rahman I .....Lennox was just thinking Rahman was gonna lay down for him. How wrong he was.

Mike Tyson vs Buster Douglas...Tyson simply didn't train and of course it didn't help Buster was dedicated to victory as his mother just passed away before the fight.

Good ones. Lennox did this twice.... 'cause he did it with Oliver McCall also.
To his credit, he took them much more seriously the 2nd time around.

Hamed v MAB Even the ring post thought he would ko Barrera

To the point of being given a pre bell in ring statement by Buffer ffs.

Pretty much Hamed vs anyone and everything. Fighters, interviewer's, dinner buffets

Did at the start because froch underestimated him, but Groves still didn't win when Froch had a bad start. That made Groves over confident in the second because Froch had a bad day in the office.

Really not saying you are wrong. Fighters are notoriously good, until they aren't, and that can happen in a single night.
That's what made everyone excited about the rematch plus the fact that the stoppage was a little fast.
