Hilarious! OH wow that guy got ROCKED! I wouldnt say that was a cheap shot...it probably cost the puncher his career!
I wouldn't say this is one of the worst cheap shots in history or anything, but I ran across this video today and it seemed appropriate. Florida's Brandon Spikes (#51) playing a little dirty ball: <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/o4QzeHHJqHk&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/o4QzeHHJqHk&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>
I was trying to play on the words. It was a cheap shot, but in the end it cost the thrower of the punch his whole career...meaning it was an expensive punch.
Cheap shot as in... a nonexpensive shot.. career as in.. he coulda made a lot of money. I think that's what he meant?

Sorry for the double post. I know the above video is not really worst "cheap shots" in Sports History, but it kind of goes with the topic. 1:45 mark. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jgqUZ1IAA_8&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jgqUZ1IAA_8&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
That link didn't work for me but this one should. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Butler_(boxer) He did kill a guy... Conviction in the killing of Sam Kellerman On October 12, 2004, writer Sam Kellerman (brother of boxing analyst Max Kellerman) was murdered. (His body was found on October 17). Butler was considered a suspect; he had been friends with Kellerman for ten years. On October 20, Butler, accompanied by a lawyer, sought treatment for his alleged bipolar disorder. Butler was arrested for the Kellerman slaying on October 27, and two days later, he plead not guilty to murder and arson. He was held on $1.25 million bail. Prosecutors claimed that Butler, the only suspect in the case, repeatedly struck Kellerman in the head with a hammer, then torched Kellerman's Hollywood, California apartment in an attempted coverup. On July 8, 2005, a Los Angeles judge ruled that there was sufficient evidence for Butler to stand trial on the charges of murder and arson. On March 27, 2006, Butler pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and arson in the 2004 death of Kellerman. On April 5, Butler was sentenced to 29 years, four months in prison by Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor, according to Deputy Public Defender Jack Keenan[3]. The suspected motive for the murder was that Kellerman was forcing Butler to move out of Kellerman's apartment. Butler, who was struggling to revive his career and suffering through a difficult relationship with his girlfriend and child, picked up a hammer and killed Kellerman[4]
Here's a "Could have been deadly but luckily it wasn't" nominee: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WQQi6-4Dnxk&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WQQi6-4Dnxk&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Go to the 0:55 mark. That would be Brandon Meriweather (now with the Patriots) trying to kill somebody with his helmet.

Best part of the video was the sucker punch replay and Teddy Atlas doing a play-by-play Madden style. Then as he gets hit...he throws in a Madden "BOOM!" haha awesome. sucks that the guy got knocked out though.
That's James Butler. He's the epitamy of scumbag's. He killed Max Kellerman's brother after he took him into his home and was helping him get his life in order.
