[GAME]

Britain has had afew champs lose recently. Which 1 for you was the most disapointing display and why . . .

Hatton vs Floyd

Witter vs Bradley

For me it was Tarver - Woods cuz the Brit seemed to lack the belief that he could actually win . Witter vs Bradley 2nd .

It has to be Witter vs Bradley for me this was supposed to be a good showcase to set up a fight with Hatton, but Witter comes in with no fire in his belly and looked utter garbage very disappointing from Witter.

Hatton-Mayweather

[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.

[HattonTheHammer]

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

What about Enzo Mac vs Haye. He and Frank promised something he knew he couldn't deliver. As soon as I saw how he looked coming to the ring I knew it would last.

He must have let down alot of his fans, and pretty much all of Wales that night?

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

Bit of a stupid thing to say he let all his fans down and let the whole of Wales down, thats crazy, and only something someone would say who has never been in the ring. Enzo was nervous and he got caught, it happens, he has not let anyone down. He fought a bad fight, he is only human.

Woods performed the worst out of the the 4 I think, Rees was lucky to get a title and was never a LWW. Hatton got outclassed by P4P best so not really too bad, Witter was a disappointment, but again fought the wrong fight. Woods just didn't seem to be there to win.

I got to agree wth total boxing looking from a Welsh point of veiw...alot of us had big hope's for Enzo only for that to happen..that was a real dissapointment to me.

As far as looking at it from a british point of veiw I was real pissed Witter lost.I felt Witter deserved a shot at Hatton all he had to do was look good against Bradley and he could have set himself up instead he ended up looking like a fool.

I went to the Haye/ Enzo Mac fight and bumped into a lot of Mac fans who had made the trip from Swansea. When pushed they thought that Mac was really up against it (the ones I spoke to anyway) and realised that the fight could end like it did.
I do not think Mac let anybody down. He got caught then just as he was recovering got caught again.
Some of Enzo's fans complained about the stoppage but the stumbling was more dramatic when your were actually there. Right stoppage, no embarrasement for Enzo.

The most disappointing for me is Witter. Rees was in over his head, Hatton was fighting the P4P number 1, Woods was fighting somebody who many picked to beat him anyway, maybe not in the manner that it happened but Bradley was a 5-1 underdog against Witter. Witter did what he normally did, got dropped and did not push the fight for the victory. he fannied around trying to pot shot and got outworked and caught with the bigger shots.

I ain't mocking the guy. He was just out of his depth with Haye. I guess it was over pretty quick to get going, and with the whole build up, expect fireworks. Warren and Setanta bigged him up so much, just like Hatton was against Floyd and it was exactly the same. Alternatively if Haye would have lost he would have let some people down who were backing him.

And to say what I said about letting people down is stupid, well that is the title of the thread!

[Beanflicker]

I don't like lumping Ricky's loss in with that, because there was nothing wrong with his performance IMO, he just lost to a better fighter.

I would have to pick Junior Witter. I was looking forward to a fight between him and hatton and actually believed he would give Ricky a lot of trouble. Then he blew it and looked like absolute garbage in the process.

I was really disappointed in Wood's performance as well. He just didnt show up to fight, he was just happy to be there and go to a decision.

[Master]

Witter was the biggest let down for me. The others have no shame in loosing their fights but Witter performed poorly and I was never ever convinced he could beat Hatton but at least we would have got another battle of Britain before Hatton would have wiped him out.
