Inexplicable Losses

[TitoFan]

What are some of the fights you have deemed inexplicable losses to opponents that should have never been there in the first place? (Or so it seemed)

One of my top all-time fights in this regard is Ali-Spinks I. Who the hell was Leon Spinks... and how on Earth did Muhammad Ali end up losing to THAT bum??

That's why when they talk about the times Ali recaptured the HW title... I tend to disregard his rematch with Spinks. It's like he never should have lost to Spinks in the first place... therefore it doesn't count.

Another one is RJJ vs Antonio Tarver. Jones, a total ATG, gets KTFO'ed in ugly fashion against Tarver. WTF was that??

That's one of the things to love about boxing.

Roy Jones losing and getting himself disqualified against Montell. The fight was his and in the bag.

Terry Norris getting disqualified against Santana twice when there was no need. Terry somehow lost to an old Simon Brown by getting knocked out. It should not have happened.

Evander Holyfield was winning the first fight against Bowe by boxing beautifully but then got hit low and just ended up in a unnecessary war with the bigger man. Wrong tactics and lost his head.

Golota was beating Bowe twice and he blew his victory by losing his mind.

Audley Harrison losing to Wilder.

He was in total control of that fight and then unfairly hit on the break by a sucker punch he never recovered from.

If not for that we wouldn't have the debacle we have now with wilder potentially scuppering fury v aj.

Indeed

Unlucky Audley was denied HW greatness by that sucker punch.

Zab Judah losing to Baldomir. inexplicable.

Zab Judah losing to Baldomir. inexplicable.

Floyd still ending up fighting Zab after which was an inexcusable contest. Still does not make sense, so Zab did not lose that much.
