Fights that made you literally cry

[johnsebastianmiran]

The fights that drove me crazy were fights with Oscar Dela Hoya and Julio Caesar Chavez and Arturo Gatti not to mention the stinker of a decision against Whitaker. The first two were ugly KO's against much smaller men, hand picked for this so called predator. He reminded me of a poster I saw In Playboy Magazine or was it Penthouse where two vultures were watching a man crawl-through the desert and one vulture said to the other,"Patience my ass I'm going to kill something." Dela Hoya was that vulture and the first two fighters I mentioned was like the person crawling through the desert. He couldn't wait any longer but his opponents were helpless and too old or too small to resist him. You have to admit it, there was an awful lot of the vulture in Oscar. Easy prey!

Early on in his career this is true, but as he got older Oscar faced the best. Ike Quartey, Tito Trinidad, Shane Mosley, Bernard Hopkins...not exactly easy prey.

And karma got Oscar in the end, as Pacquaio pummeled him as he once pummeled an old Chavez. And, much like an old Chavez, he quit on the stool.

he beat Paez, John John Molina, Rafa Ruelas, Genaro Hernandez, and Leija, all before taking on Chavez, and DLH was the one moving up in weight

you can knock DLH on anything you want, but the guy never turned away from a tough fight

I had a tough time with Cotto/Margo..... And even tougher time the SOB is allowed to box

I completely agree on both points.

I didn't cry, but I was soooo sick to my stomach. Still to this day, I haven't watched that fight again. Once was enough, especially since I now know that piece of shit could have ended Cotto's career, or much worse, could have killed him.

I did get teary eyed when guys went down, and you know it wasn't good, guys like Victor Burgos and Oscar Diaz.

I did shed a tear of happiness when Martinez beat Pavlik. I was so happy for Martinez.

And I shed many tears from laughing so hard when Cintron did a Greg Louganis out of the ring.

You can't just assume that Margarito was plastered against Cotto too. After all, it was Margo's chin and punch resistance that took him to victory. HIs punching power was secondary..

I know the plaster is a good way for the Cotto fans to use as a consolation but let's be fair. There's no evidence that Margo was illegally wrapped..

Margo was able to take punishment but Cotto couldn't do the same so he lost.
