who was the boxer who cried in the middle of his fight?

Yeah as said above by a few people it was Oliver Mcall in his second fight with Lennox Lewis. He had some sort of a mental breakdown during the fight. I think he realised he just couldent win and he seemed to just give up and was just taking punchs so it was stopped. Also i think he had quite a few personal problems at the time which didn't help his preparation for the fight. He seems to be a naturally emotional guy as in both his first fight with lewis and in his fight with Frank Bruno he cried on his way into the ring. He said in an interview he cried before fights at times because he knew the outcome could change his life, so he was basically psyching himself up which isent a bad thing, but to cry during a fight isent so good for obvious reasons.

Lopez was an absolute monster at 105lbs. One of the great fighters in the history of boxing. He was one of my favorite fighters to watch. A master boxer with very good power for the lighter weight divisions. If you can get a hold of his fights on video WATCH them. He was a man who handled himself with class in and out of the ring.

I really don't think anyone could have taken Tyson is his prime.  He was far to overwhelming.  Roy Jones, Jr.?  I saw him fight guys that everyone said he shouldn't beat and he made them look silly; evading punches and throwing them from odd angles.  Tua needs to do more to even be int his conversation.

Among the heavyweight fighters, I think it has to be Joe Louis.  He had one streak where he would fight another challenger every month.  He called it the "bum-a-month" club.  He took on all comers and he beat them all.  And he was a classy guy on top of all of that.\n\nThere were other great champions of course, including Muhammad Ali, Rocky Graziano, and Rocky Marciano, and going way back, Max Baer and John L. Sullivan (the first really great boxer), but Joe Louis stands above them all.\n\nGood luck!!

Interesting question here, yet i find the answers even more interesting (actually ODD is the word i'm looking for)... I would say Hopkins and here are my reasons for that answer:\n1. All but Mayweather have campained as a middleweight.\n2. Of those three middies, Hopkins holds wins over both Trinidad & Oscar.\n3. Bernard had (hopefully still when he tangles w/ Tarver) the ability to mix up his style. He completely befuddled Tito Trinidad by boxing. Trinidad & handlers assumed Hopkins would just bully Tito around the ring which would eventually lead to Trinidad walking Hopkins down. That didnot happen. Bernard boxed brilliantly, and as usual, did use some of his bullying tactics when Tito became so completely frustrated and unglued, leading to a KO victory for Bernard. Against the boxer Oscar, Bernard boxed, intimidated, and outpunched his opponent. The guy can make adjustments in the ring that other fighters cannot make. Eventually he will make his opponent fight the fight HE wants them to fight.\n3. If Floyd were to fight Hopkins, I'm sure the prognosticators would say Mayweather would use speed to frustrate Hopkins. However, I think Bernard would have Mayweather backing up the whole fight, using questionable bullying tactics to frustrate and intimidate Floyd.\n\nAs far as dudes from the past fighting these four now, man, imagine the possibilities:\nIn my opinion Marvin Hagler would beat Oscar by using a southpaw stance, counterpunching, making Oscar go backwards, and eventually wearing him out w/ brutal bodyshots. Hagler by late TKO.\nHagler would probably KO Trinidad by the 5th round. Tito would be his own worst enemy here. He only knows how to fight coming forward, therefore Hagler wouldn't have to look for him or chase him down, as he did against Ray Leonard.\nHopkins against Hagler would be one for the ages. Ask no quarter, give no quarter. In the end, I would say this one is a draw.\nNow for PBF. I would LOVE to see him fight a PRIME "Sweet Pea" Pernell Whitaker. Floyd thinks he has speed, but Whitaker was absolutely amazing. Many fights have been so onesided that one fighter can claim not to have lost a single round. I recall watching Pernell go through an entire fight w/o losing a minute against grade-A, top notch, quality fighters. His defense, speed, and ability to get under an opponent's skin would allow him to win a one sided unanimous decision. \nGreat question, man!

I agree with your assertion. Taylor won the fight. Taylor was clearly more "in-charge" throughout the fight. This is not to say Winky did not make it close the second half of the fight, because, indeed he did. Having said that, let me also point out the fact  that ever true fan/ student of boxing knows that you are rewarded for aggressiveness, and, ring generalship. Forget everything else, but, if we simply looked at two virtually unknown fighters and one displayed the ring generalship, and, (controlled) aggression that Taylor did in the fight, there is no doubt that that fighter would win. In closing let me simply say, Styles make fights---and judges/and politics ruin them. Well, atleast we get to see the rematch, this will most likely be a trilogy. I hope not, but, more likely than not. For the record, Jermain is a super fighter.

Prime for prime I'd go for Aaron.  He had a lot of anger in him.  He was an alternate at the Olympics, yet he did better than Howard Davis junior. He fought for years to get the good fights and the respect, fighting a legent Antonio Cervantez.  Then another great, his fight with Alexis Arguello was the one that earned him respect.  Oscar may have been a more mobile fighter with faster hands and very confident young man I just think Aaron was too much of a tiger and its hard to pull off a person like Aaron unless your willing to go head to head.  Lets face it then Oscar wasn't eager to mix it with a puncher.  When you consider the fight with Felix Trinidad he was hesitant and boxed.  I thought he could have knocked him out.  Aaron Pryor by knockout.

Here's what Oscar said:\n\n"There will be no fight in September – it's too soon. But if I come back for one more fight, it will be Floyd Mayweather Jr. That's the only name I can come up with to motivate me to train and prepare for three months. That's the only fight out there for me."\n\nThe fight wasn't signed ealier probably due to a couple of injuries Oscar came out of the Ricardo Mayorga fight with. He says he's not going to make any definite plans until next year.

It was a good fight, Mayorga got what he deserved. Someone needed to shut him up. I bet he feels like such a dork, talking all that smack!

Although toney might be the best skilled hw boxer right now, and valuev may be the most physically imposing, i have to say my current favorite is lamon brewster. He has true heavyweight power (as evidenced by his comeback stoppage of klitchko and quick knock out of golota) and he clearly has a lot of heart (fighting sergei with a detached retina from round 1 and nearly pulling out a decision). The amazing thing is is even though he is an american heavy, he really has recieved very little pub and needed to win the fight he lost in part because of injury. Its pretty disappointing as he really could have launched if he won a few more fights consecutively.

Mayweather. I just watched it PPV last night. I wanted Baldomir to knock his cocky lil block off, but unfortunately the fight went exactly the way Mayweather planned it. He just shucked, dipped, counter punched and jabbed for 12 rounds out boxing the happless ox. \nThe annoying thing about Mayweather isnt his pedigree, its his attitude and claim to consider himself one of the greatest of all time when actually he is quite boring to watch. I like to watch boxing to see people get brutalized. This was much more like watching no contact point karate without the feet if you ask me.\nMayweather may be the future of boxing...but if so, hes bringing the excitement at his weightclass to a standstill. Still, he fought smart and very intelligent and quickly and all that. But my God, was it boring. Tiger Woods and Charles Barkley who were in attendance in the audience left around the end of round 9 of 12.\nIt was that pointless to watch this guy stumble after him for 12 rounds who he simply jabbed and rolled away from. Its really annoying he considers himself one of the greatest ever. But whos to argue. Kind of thing that just makes me want to go to bed early. Feel like an ass for ordering the show.\nI feel like I got ripped off $50.

I think Ali was The Greatest , but I would also go to say that all the top 1-5 in each weightclass in that era would wipe the floor with todays boxers , they took more pride in their craft , they trained harder , they did not duck one another and make excuses on how the other guy does not want to fight or the money was not enough they just fought that was boxing , its hard to stomach some of the crap I see today , Oh well I guess we can always hope the boxing game will change for the better .

Most boxing experts agree that it was Ali-Frazier III - The Thrilla in Manilla. Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier had each won one of their previous two bouts, and the rubber match looked to determine once and for all who was best.\n\nThe all-out war lasted until the fourteenth round of their fifteen-round bout when Frazier's trainer Eddie Futch finally stopped the fight. It was The Ring magazine's 1975 fight of the year and is probably what solidified Muhammad Ali's title as the Greatest of All Time.
