Your favorite fighter in a fight they dissapointed you in

[ICB]

Arguello vs. Fernandez I - Talk about a shitty performance.
Sanchez vs. Ford - A porr showing IMO of Sanchez vs. someone he should have clearly beaten.
Foster vs. Folley - Foster was just badly outboxed.
Napoles vs. Muniz I - Napoles needed Sulaimans help here and he looked horrible in this one.
Eubanks vs. Collins - I think he fought well at times but I also think he could have done much more then what he showed.
JCC vs. Cabrera - Sure JCC completely dominated him but Cabrera was there for the taking.
Duran vs. Laing - WTF was that?
Morales vs. Zahir - Did Erik have any other plan besides looking for big punches?
Olivares vs. Hafey I & II - Poor showings by "El Puas" though on the decline he could have done a lot more.
ODLH vs. PBF - Not the night of the jab? WTF?
Kats vs. Diaz - Really dissapointed in Kats, he completely fought the wrong fight.

I disagree about Salvador Sanchez vs Patrick Ford say what you want about Ford, but he was tall and had a good jab, his height and reached bothered Sanchez and Sanchez struggled in the early rounds. But he comeback strong like a true champion in the later rounds, and showed his class i think it was a good performance personally, because he was losing and showed he could comeback from losing and adapt.

And I disagree with you, having just soundly beat Lopez 2 times and outboxed Chucho Castillo, he should have soundly beat Ford with ease. Instead he was still half asleep half way through the fight.
The one judge who had an obscene score was from Sanchez hometown of Santiago Tianguistenco in the Ring Mag. volume for that time they talk about this and how the judge was set up.
I'm not saying Sanchez lost the fight but I'm saying his follow up performance was shit.
The samy way I think Hattons follow up performances have been having beat Tszyu.
Sanchez having just beat Lopez was dissapoiting in this fight.
He did comeback, and that says it all he cameback from somewhere where he shouldn't have been.

Styles make fights Danny Lopez was a come forward bomber which played into Salvador Sanchez who was a counter puncher. Ruben Castillo used good movement and boxed well, but again he didn't have Ford's height or reach, remember Ford had 4 inch height advantage and 6 inch reach advantage..........

And he used his physical attributes very well and i thought he fought very smart fight, not allowing Sanchez to get inside and kept the fight at long range with his jab. Ford may have not achieved much in his career but that night he fought very well and Sanchez took him lightly, but Sanchez's legendary stamina once again come into play and he won majority of the later rounds winning by 2 rounds IMO.

I just think it was down to a bad style match up and Sanchez taking him lightly, but every great figher has atleast one fight where they struggle against lesser opposition. But Sanchez didn't disappoint me in that fight and i don't think it was a bad performance personally, but thats just my opinion may im bit biased because Sanchez is one of my favorites.

Not my favorite fighter, but one of them:

Winky - Taylor: While I though, and still think, that Winky won the fight, and that overall he fought a great fight, he should've done something in the last round to seal it. I still think at worst the 12th was a draw (no fucking way did Taylor win it), but he should've come out fighting instead of doing as little (or slightly more) than Taylor did.

[El Kabong]

Wladimir vs: Sanders, Brewster I, Williamson, and Sultan

Cotto vs Corley....vs Margarito there was nothing else he could have done

Andy Lee vs Brian Vera

Jermain Taylor vs: Wright, Ouma, Spinks, and Pavlik II

[Beanflicker]

I see a lot of people listed fights where a guy got caught and KOd. I don't think you should be disappointed in that. A man goes out and gives it his all, and I think thats all you can expect a fighter to do.


James Toney vs Tiberi - Toney showed up in terrible condition and got one of the biggest gifts of all time.

Roy Jones/Tarver 3 - To me there is no shame in getting caught and KOd, it can happen to anyone. But there is shame in fighting just to survive like Roy did against Tarver in the 3rd fight. It broke my heart to see one of my favorite fighters, old as he may be, fight like a punk against a good but limited fighter in Tarver.

Yeah that Roy Tarver rubber match was extremely dissapointing, especially with hinsight knowing Tarver was basically there for the taking. All you need to do is watch the 5th round and it's clear as day who the better fighter was, but Roy just didn't do ANYTHING after that.

azumah nelson-james leija 2- i didn't like that nelson gave excuses instead of just accepting the loss

[RozzySean]

Hagler vs Leonard. If he would have pressed from the beginning and not fooled around and literally given away 3 or 4 rounds, he would have stopped Leonard or at least outpointed him. A stupid fight from my favorite fighter.

James Toney was rubbish in the Tiberi fight. I like Toney but he was outworked badly in that one and lost by atleast 5 rounds, this isn't the first time Toney underestimated an opponent and got a gift.

Some semi recent ones:

Calderon vs Barrera (Ivan just wasn't at his best)

Campbell vs Peden 2 (He was pretty much dominating the 1st fight until that one stupid moment, but in the rematch Nate was just horrible)

Darchinyan vs Donaire (need I say more)

Julio Diaz vs Juan Diaz (He just didn't do what I thought he could do)

Martin Castillo vs fernando Montiel (Who thought Castillo was that far gone?)

Rafael Marquez vs Ricardo Vargas (A fight Rafa made harder than it should have been)

Katsidis vs Juan Diaz (Katsidis had no answers)

Guzman vs Joe Morales (Guzman got more than he bargined for)

Theres a heap more but those are some of the main ones of recent times!

[boozeboxer]

Winky against Hopkins. I thought that Winky did enough to win it, but shitty refs and a bad cut didn;t help. Winky just didn't look hungry.

Winky is one of my favorites but all of those krispy kremes has definately taken away the hunger.

[Master]

Tyson v Holyfield (after 6 rounds), Lennox, Williams and Mcneely.

Haye v Ismail Abdoul

Holyfield v Moorer

[The Rookie Fan]

Trinidad vs Wright That fight literally made me sick to my stomach.

Tua vs Lewis It wasn't really his fault but I thought Tua could've done better on that one.

[rjj tszyu]

ODLH Vs Tito- I actually had him winning but he should have made sure and not got on his bike!
David Haye Vs Carl Thompson- WTF happened to the next Heavyweight champion of the world that night?
SRL Vs Kevin Howard- I know he hadn't fought for 2 years but it was a bad performance by the sugar man.
RJJ Vs Antonio Tarver II- The night I realised no man was invincible.
