The most disappointing letdown performance

[amat]

Don't think Hatton-Mayweather is in the same realm of disappointment as Witter or Woods.

I would say Woods. Was the main event after a great fight involving a guy he holds a couple decisions against and he came out with just nothing, nothing. Witter is an ugly fighter that's a fact, win or lose he was going to do it ugly. Woods I thought could be counted on to at least bring a fight to Tarver but instead he got outwilled and outworked in a very sorry performance.

[Violent Demise]

Neither were disappointing. 3 were garbage. And the other one was in way, way over his head.

Woods-tarver definetly

fought the fight of his life against johnson and genuinely for the 1st time looked like someone who had it in him to win a world title.

Went out to america for the fight of his life and just popped. Completely froze under the spotlight and appeared almost afraid to do anything that would compromise his well being.

very very strange and i dont for one second buy the whole food poisoning thing!

Hatton was a tad out of his depth

Witter got found out against a genuine heavy hitter

Rees was never going to set any worlds alight, had had his one shining moment in the spotlight and got beat by a better fighter

Hatton was in with the best in the world i wouldnt say it was a let down he tried his heart out leat he went out trying unlike,Woods he looked like he didnt wanna be in the ring,i think he forgot he was in a boxing match cause he never through the punches he froze in the shot light.

[El Kabong]

Hatton did better than I thought he would....but I wanted him to whip Floyd's ass just because Floyd is an arrogant prick, one of the most obnoxious figures in the history of sport.


Here's hoping Cotto gets him



I really didn't care about any of the other fighters


Audley Harrison...his whole career has been disappointing....we were promised a southpaw Lennox Lewis and we got a shorter Julius Long

Fixed.

Also, while I do compliment Hatton on having the balls to step into the ring with a fighter of Mayweathers calibur, he deserved the ass whipping he got for:

A.) Fighting like a bitch.

B.) Fighting Mayweather to begin with.

C.) Being from the U.K.

Hatton's preformance was definitely HUGE let down. Whilst I didn't think he would win, I thought he would win more than 2 rounds. Especially taking into account all the build up etc.

What was even more dissappointing was he didn't actually try to do anything other than hit hold Floyd. I mean NOTHING. He just wanted to get close,hold,hit,rinse,repeat,yet he got so close,he smothered his punches like an amatuer and was outmuscled. It was a poor poor performance.And I did NOT expect to see him get KTFO by Floyd either. So yeah,it was a poor performance.

Coming off british letdowns anyone remember that Boom Boom mancini i think his name was. He was on the undercard of Oscar Mayweather 1. Was really hyped up and got sparked in one round in a champion ship fight. Just don't have a clear memory of it.Rep to anyone who remember

I take it you mean the 5' 3" Gavin Rees?

[Pugilistic]

Witter was the worst performance, he was out looking for a hatton fight but showed nothing in deserving one against bradley.

That was really embarassing.

I think easily Clinton Woods. He's the only one who didn't even give a good effort. Hatton has nothing to be ashamed of losing to Floyd, he fought hard.. Obviously Gavin Rees did his absolute best against Kotelnik, just a physical mismatch.. I haven't actually seen the Witter Bradley fight, but from what I've read Witter boxed well early on then got dropped and faded... but Clinton Woods did horribly against Tarver, with all the talk leading up to that fight you'd think at least he'd give it his all, but indeed he was for some reason in awe of Tarver. And I realize how pathetic that sounds. He had a very beatable fighter in front of him imo... Maybe he couldn't have possibly beaten Tarver even if he pressed harder... Tarver is a good counter puncher. But it was still really a non effort from Woods.

[RozzySean]

Clinton Woods was never going to beat Tarver. You were delusional if your though so, the same way you were delusional if you expected Hatton to beat Floyd. Hoped, fine. I hoped hatton would win, too, but I expected he would lose. People on this forum hate Tarver and underrate him so badly that you can't see the forest for the trees. Tarver has lost to 4 fighters - of them two hall of famers, Glen Johnson, and early in his career a very good fighter Eric Harding. He avenged all his loses except for Hopkins. Woods didn't put in a good effort? Bull. He was in against a better fighter and Tarver's counterpunching had a lot to do with Woods not letting his hands go more.

My biggest letdowns:

Margarito vs Williams - slow start, fought stupid, should have won.

Hagler vs Leonard - fought stupid and let Leonard use his jedi mind tricks on the judges. I had it for Hagler, but the loss was his fault for letting it be that close.

Trinidad vs Oscar - Trinidad won, but I didn't want him to win like that.
