What is the most disappointed you've ever been about anything boxing related?

[Bill Paxtom]

Angelo Dundee

January 1981

Trying to convince Muhammad Ali to give it 'one more try' after getting demolished
by Larry Holmes.

Word has it, that Angelo was having a 'new home' built in Miami Beach, and he wanted
to squeeze another $250,000 {Trainer's Fee} out of Muhammad's hide before he was sent out to pasture.

Jones vs Tarver 2 was a disappointment for a couple of reasons.
1. The fight should not have happened in the 1st place.
2. The knockout.


And I think Manny vs Floyd will be a let down.

Off the top its the Golota-Bowe riot. It made you feel sick.

Or watching Butterbean being the headline in final USA Tuesday night fights

Eder Gonzalez v Juan M Coggi 1 and a clearly criminal referee get away with it

Ko Nation on hbo

"Youth, Silver and Emeritus" bullshat trinkets. Boxing has turned into everyone gets a gold star

Mann Act

Holyfield's clearly impending tko of Tyson ending on 'The Bite'

The lack of ring card girls actually carrying cards around the ring

Losing Mills lane

Needing to stay up until 3 AM every night to watch boxing in the Olympics

The utter uselessness of catchweights

Watching James Toney be knocked down on a counter to his own chicken dance v Jones

Frankie Randall being screwed and knowing it was coming all along

[Master]

WBC and King trying to take the title away from Buster Douglas after he knocked out Tyson was scandalous.

When they robbed RJJ at the 88 Olympics... the most heart-breaking thing to see a young kid brought into the real world of bullshit. RJJ did not deserve that. They really should award him the gold medal....everyone knows it was a huge mistake. That would be the right thing to do!

Other than that, seeing Tyson being pummelled by Lewis. We know that's not how that would have gone 15 years prior. But it was just heart-breaking seeing Tyson literally being led in there like a lamb to the slaughter just for a few bucks. He stood no chance, as Lewis was fighting at a top level and Tyson was all but semi-retired, plus with drugs, anti-depressants, bad management and being broke put him in a world of shit before he even signed the contract.

Edwin Valero killing his girlfriend and himself. So much talent gone to waste. Can you imagine what the lightweights, featherweights and jr. welters would be like if he was still around? Can you imagine the possibilities??

Last, but not least, the robbery of DLH at the hands of DON KING AND BOB ARUM for Felix Trinidad. Sighs.... just like the RJJ 88 Olympics, we know who won. We know who won!!!

Ali losing to Holmes was the first dissappointment for me.

2nd-I was hurt when RJJ got jobbed in the Olympics.

Agree with the posts on the Tyson- Douglass loss- I was shook. The Bite fight, I was sad for Tyson, for African-Americans, for boxers, it was just all around dissapointing.
As far as Tyson being led to the slaughter house vs Lewis- Only highprofile fight in my life I did NOT watch. To this day, I've never seen the whole fight & will never see it. Tyson actually has given me so much grief- I am relieved to know he is in good spirits today- but his career after Douglas: just one big dissappointment after another for me. Truly.

Dissappointed at the reffing of McClellan-Benn--- took me a few years to watch that fight.

Valero- well I am the probably the biggest political conspiracy theorist of the board- Valero if we remember actually had Hugo Friggin Chavez tattooed on his chest. That man did NOT kill himself. Wrong thread for me to go political-so I will say this- he was murdured. Damn Valero vs Pacman would've been everything!

LOL! @ Kabong. Malcom the "showstopper" Tan?! haha, wasnt he pushed by Goosen? I remember thinking this guy has a certain charisma. Then he met Arreola- I forget which round it was when Arreola just pummeled him & Tan walks to his corner hollering "I took your best"!
I was thinking, but Malcom...this Chris Arreola guy doesn't look the slight bit tired...like he's just getting started.
In terms of a fighter being exposed like Tann,, for me it was Bojado. I dont think when DLH gave him a 2nd chance that Steve Forbes would turn in the performance of a lifetime.

I've mentioned this before, but getting to know Chazz Witherspoon personally, then the next fight Arreola once again crushed me. Totally dissappointed for Chazz.

@SlimTrae Benn did get help but Gerald was punches loads at the back of the head which was why Nigel was knocked out of the ring.

[Andre]

Fenech losing to Azumah controversially in their first meeting.

[Syntax Error]

David Haye's performance against Wladimir Klitschko & his pathetic excuse afterwards.

[holmcall]

Steve Smoger getting into the Hall of Fame. Might as well let the Marquis de Sade in.
