losses you never quite got over

Foreman/Frazier got to me but I'd have to say Hearns/Leonard. Watched it live on closed circuit at the old Corral in Calgary. I disliked Leonard immensely and Tommy was my favourite. My buddy had a man crush on Leonard. I was rubbing his face in it for 39 minutes and then......

Arguello/Pryor 1 happened in that same time frame and that got to me also but not like Hearns/Leonard. Tito/Hop followed. I was at a party and left. Went downtown to a pub, handed the bartender my keys and got shit faced. Roy/Tarver ripped pretty deep because Roy was right up there with Tommy but I half expected it after Ruiz and how he looked in the first Tarver fight.

I agree on each but

Leonard vs Hagler and
Leonard vs Heard are by far the worst for me.

Strangely I respect Leonard as much as any fighter now.(even if he started all the money issues in the sport as far as I'm concerned)

Never li8ked Leonard for the way he cheated my old friend in Texas Donald Curry. Don wanted to fight Hagler but Leonard who was supposed to be Don's advisor persuaded him to wait. All the while Leonard was negociating the fight with Hagler for himself. Made is worse when they gave Leonard a dec he didn't deserve

Audley Harrison - David Haye...the world title dream was over

Tyson/Lewis was pretty hard too, I was new to boxing and of course loved Tyson like most do, and to see him get KTFO over and over on the sports shows the morning after sucked. I hated Lennox for years for it.

First PPV I refused an invite to.
Based on who they were feeding to Tyson: McNeely & Mathis, I just couldn't see Tyson beating him, in fact to this day...I have never watched the whole fight.

Hard to not get over a loss, I refused to watch.

It took me years to watch the fight, I was very new to boxing so I didn't understand that the formerly great Tyson was a lamb being lead to the slaughter against Lennox the same way so many were lead to him in the 80s.

That fight was so big. I remember having to make a collect call from a payphone a few days later and the middle aged female operator asked me if I saw the fight and we had a short conversation about how we couldn't believe Tyson lost hahah, EVERYONE was talking about it.

I knew Tyson would lose, but that did not stop me hoping he would win after a good first round. The rest of the fight was just a beat down.

I guess the one-punch KO loss to Rahman Lewis suffered a year prior gave a lot of people hope that Tyson could land that one home run shot.
