Most heartbreaking moment ever?

Nigel Benn retiring on his stool against Collins and the crowd booing.

No way for a warrior like Nigel to go out.

I felt the same way when Lloyd Honeyghan lost to Mark Breland.

The crowd booed him after he was beaten by the US fighter. True, Honeyghan did act like a warrior when he was starting the fight and ended up getting knocked down loads of times but fans forgot how many great nights he gave them in exciting fights. That was no way to treat a great British fighter.

Honeyghan got utterly and abysmally beaten.

His overconfidence and glaring/fist pointing a la Hawk Time style, just made that beatdown even more humiliating for him.

Booing is hurtful however.

Herol Graham snatching defeat from the jaws of victory against Charles Brewer.

He finally looked like he was on his way to getting a world trinket at 38, when he once again lost a fight he looked like he was going to win.

Really felt for him that night, because he was a decent guy & in the age of multiple trinkets, his talent at least deserved to pick up a world belt somewhere along the line.

Losing to Frank Grant hurt me the worst. I could not talk to anyone after that. First and only time he lost to a British fighter.

Just watched Herol v Grant. I do not remember this fight at all....

Had never heard of Grant till now. Looking at his record he seemed to be doing ok then just disappeared from the game.

That fight was on TV live from what I can remember and he retired after that fight o ly to make a come back years later. Could have been on as an undercard fight for Wharton v Fidel Castro Smith in Leeds.

Totally forgot a crucial moment; last 2 rounds of Chavez-Taylor caped by the stoppage. Never been angrier at a ref than Steele. Some years later saw him fight around 1996, man reflexes gone, speech slurred. He was supposed to be an all time great. He had a few good fights after that, but JCC took a lot out of him.
A lot.
