Fights that made you literally cry

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Yeah Hatton's two loses were pretty taxing. They were the only fights I properly grieved over... I mean I literally did the whole cycle!



Fuck having to go through that TWCIE

That's a good diagram, it sums a lot of it up nicely. Definitely at first I was looking at the TV just thinking "that didn't just happen" and then "no he's not getting up". Then the wandering around the room as if in a morphine daze and then finally the tears as it has hit home. Boxing is a cruel mistress.

The Hatton/Pacquiao one was pretty bad for me. I had got so pumped up for it and was watching fresh off a hangover. That first round had my hands doing the shakes and then when Hatton was stopped in the second I admit that I did get a little cut up. I had to go to the corner of the room and the tears were there. I wiped them away and within minutes was on here telling my critics that yes I had got it wrong. I never really got over that KO.

Then of course you argued that it was all because of the Jews

I was gutted when Hatton lost to Mayweather and i am still gutted at Mosley's performance against pacquiao, I never thought I would see the day when Mosley would get on his bike and not stand and trade.

I must admit I had a bit of a lump in my throat when they interviewed Katsidis after he lost to Marquez when he was talking about his brother who has just died and how much he missed him

The same thing happened to my friend too. He had a little bit of tears in his eyes when Hatton was stopped in 2. It's not because he cared for Hatton or was a fan of his, but because he had betted that Hatton would get ko in the late rounds and had lost some money with such an early end to the fight

Neither did Hatton who subsequently retired.

And I must admit that I don't release tears easily. It's a once a year thing for a matter of seconds. I can be quite cold and heartless, but sometimes things do bubble up and that was one of the occasions.

That’s it, you let it out big guy. Grown men can cry and it is not for Homo’s as Mark TKO said.

I became a little emotional watching Terry Norris stumbling around with Dana Rosenblatt. But I kinda knew Terry back when he was young and unbelievable. To see that made me choke up for a second. I was also irate that he was being permitted to still fight.

I love the style of Norris, I cried with joy when he battered the manipulative Ray Leonard.

It bothers me how Norris' career was moved. After he beat Leonard, the world was his oyster. He should have been moved into some big fights. Instead, they put him through a never-ending series of crap fights, which actually took a toll on Terry.

It totally backfired. Terry ended up taking losses anyway. It woulda been better if he tried his hand with Jackson in a rematch or another big name at 160, rather than end up getting blasted out by the far less prestigious Simon Brown, and getting mired with all those pointless defenses at 154.

I'm sure they would do it differently if they had the chance to do it all over again. Talent-wise, he was one of the best ever. He deserved better from his management.

You never know, if he got sparked again by Jackson then people may have said why did you not take the easier option and make some defences and earn some money. Terry was only young and I think they took the best course, he unified the titles and took out the competition at 156lb. He should never have lost to Brown or disqualified against Santana. He was going to earn a big money fight against Oscar. He also beat Meldrick Taylor in convincing fashion.

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

[mafiajoey]

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