Great Defeats

Have we had Meldrick Taylor v Chavez because he gave it his all.

Also Vargas v Tito, Fernando was never the same again.

if you are going to lose you go out on your shield.

I wouldn't put the Taylor fight because in theory he won. Just a miserable decsion on Steele's part. And he rightfully was removed from top level fights after that.

Vargas nor Taylor were the same, but man, it still hurts me to this day thinking about that stoppage. Vargas lost...but you're right he went out on his shield.

Chavez even stated post fight Meldrick was landing 3 to his 1. Yes Taylor pissed blood and yes he was battered, but 2 seconds?

Yes that must hurt if you were a Taylor fan. I loved Chavez and thought it was a fair stoppage.

I thought Tito did some dirty fighting against Vargas.

Roy gained my admiration and respect with how he handled his "loss" in the 88 Olympics. That guy dominated and he showed nothing but class when he was completely screwed by the judges. Not sure how many guys on here ever met Roy but he is a genuinely good man and unbelievably down to earth (or was the few times I met him).

I think I was more pissed than Roy was when it happened. I actually wondered if RJJ would turn pro after that noon-of-day robbery he suffered.

Tureano Johnson v Curtis stevens..still say he was screwed. Diosbelys Hurtado vs Whitaker maybe.
