Most humiliating mismatch suffered by an undefeated champions?

Give the most humiliating one sided beating that happened to an undefeated guy that had been a champion already in his career (or at the time of the fight)

Calzaghe-Lacy springs to mind. What a humbling defeat! sheesh!

Mayweather-Corrales

Tyson-Spinks

Jones-Toney

Hopkins - Trinidad

Hopkins - Pavlik

Barrera - Hamed


It takes a GREAT fighter to utterly dominate an undefeated defending or former champion.

What would you rank at the top. Any others worth mentioning?

 

Out of all of those, I would go with MAB vs Hamed.

 

Definitely my favourite to watch, but certainly not as one-sided as a few of the others listed.

 

Maybe not as one sided but arguably the most embarassing for multiple reasons.

 

True, especially when you consider Hamed grabbing the Mic before the fight and chanting some Arabic stuff.

 

I'd say it's more or less as 1 sided as any of them.

Hamed won a round or two, and for the most part got schooled and made to look like an amateur, and even got his face planted against the ring post ::

 

If were picking the most one sided I would say Tyson vs Spinks is pretty hard to beat.

 

Sanchez-Gomez

 

All of the mentioned fights are good examples.

To add to that


Mayweather Jr - Hatton

IIRC Grant was some kind of titlist when he fought Lennox, that was pretty one-sided

Golota-Bowe before he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory

 

Foreman-Frazier

 

Nice one! How could forget it.

 

Yes, but it was humiliating, and more-so than most of the others. Humiliation is a subjective concept. Jeff Lacy was always a low-key kind of guy, not overly loud. Hamed, on the other hand, was a loudmouth with a massive attitude and he not only got his ass kicked, he was bent over in the corner by Barrera. He retired one fight later.

 

To add to the list, Mosley/Forrest.

 

Other than one punch, Douglas/Tyson was ridiculously one-sided.

 

Two good examples Steve...

 

and on to Mayorga-Forrest

 

Yeah, that was VERY humiliating for Forrest. The rapping his way to the ring etc...

 

Mayorga pulling out his cock and pissing on him only added insult to injury.

 

The actual anal penetration crossed the line though.

 

sly, you sucker

"undefeated" means nothing...if a figher is great then what difference does the 0 make?


there's some things that you'll never understand, i guess athetic:

 

REED's Gotta Call BULLSHIT On This 1...Fuuuuuurthermore, just as U're Biased FOR All Things Duran & Pacquiao, U Get Every Bit as CHUBBY IN REVERSE, as it Pertains to Prince Naseem Hamed...

He Won Closer to FOUR or FIVE Rounds than "a Round or Two"....U Never EVER Give Hamed the SLIGHTEST Bit of Credit, yet Barrera is PRAISED for that Win???...Can't Have it Both Ways, Brother Mex...



REED

 

4 or 5 rounds?? You have to be kidding me. I gave Hamed 2 of the first 4, and that seemed generous.

That fight was not close, not in the slightest. Hamed got schooled. I reckon Barrera landed almost twice as many punches, and was just in control the whole way. Picking Hamed off, keeping him behind the jab, countering every ridiculous wild lunging retard punch that Hamed attempted.

7 rounds to 5 is a close fight, no one considers that fight close.

Even loadedgloves, the self proclaimed biggest Hamed fan on the forum knows Hamed won no more than a couple of rounds against Barrera.

Even today I find it hilarious that Hamed was a 3 to 1 favourite over Barrera, it goes to show how truly overrated he was. Just like Tito against Hopkins.

By the way, when have you ever seen me praise him for the win? It's a decent win, I give him far more credit for his efforts against Morales.

 

As I recall I had it 8-3-1. It was competitive throughout in the sense that Barrera stayed very respectful of Naz' power and never really pushed home an advantage,besides the symbolic ringpost moment.

 

I didn't think it was remotely competitive. Hamed was being negative and was outclassed, and Barrera fought cautiously and controlled Hamed every step of the way.

There was nothing Hamed could do, he was constantly missing and getting countered.

By the half way point he started fighting like a journeyman, and even after the fight said "at least I went the distance" ::

 

He looked godhead awful against Augie Sanchez & that Calvo guy as well, truth to tell. People don't wanna hear anything that sounds like a sneaky attenuation of his glorious spanking but i think Naz was just one of these guys who went to shit early in his career. Assisted by that muppet Oscar Surez.

But hey, he's remembered in the regard his early shitbag ducking and later day laziness deserves

 

Exactly...But it's BEYOND Mex to Even Acknowledge THAT Much...Like REED Said, for as Much as Mex Loooooooooves Duran & Pac, he LOATHES Hamed That Much More....




REED:limp:

 

Is James Kirkland a title holder at some level? I know this won't matter much in comparison to the big names mentioned but that first loss to Ishida was pretty humiliating, if this counts.....

 

Agree with this, that's a reasonable score to me. I couldn't see 5 rounds for Hamed, though.

To be totally honest, Hamed was already slipping before he even left Ingle. He and Ingle parted ways because Hamed's head blew up and he decided he didn't need to listen to his trainer and/or do any training. His natural talent and power saved the day against lesser opponents, but when he ran into a world class fighter in his prime (Barrera), he was lost and pretty much just spent the whole fight in a futile effort to draw Barrera into a war.

Saying that it was a beatdown on the level of Hopkins/Trinidad is an enormous exaggeration, though. Hopkins beat the shit out of Tito from start to finish, I don't think Tito won a single moment of that fight - let alone a whole round. Barrera just won a cautious and fairly boring 116-112ish decision against Hamed.

Like a lot of other guys, Hamed was a waste of enormous raw talent due to lack of discipline. If he'd had Floyd Mayweather Jr's work ethic, I think he could've been an ATG. But he decided he was a star & lost his hunger for fighting (and gained a hunger for food, judging by the post-retirement pics of him).

 

What a bunch of pap.

 

I had Barrera-Hamed somewhere in the ball park of 115-112 (8 rds to 4). The fight was more humbling than humiliating.
