    I wouldn't call it "abysmal" but Hatton-Collazo was pretty shitty, especially after a promising start.

    Klitschko-Ibragimov was the first to come to mind.

    Mayweather-Vargas was a pretty dull fight that had a KD on a beautiful body shot by Floyd.

    Hopkins-Allen 3 was terrible.

    Not sure if Green-Joppy I qualifies. Was great for about three rounds, including a Round of the Year candidate, but quickly turned to shit once Joppy broke his hand around the 4th or 5th round.

    A trio of Whitaker fights - JC Vazquez, McGirt II and DLH.

    Norwood-Marquez

    Ruiz-Golota (save for Stoney's antics, including getting tossed out)

    It was? Maybe I need to watch it again. I thought I remember it being a stinker, and McGirt making more excuses for why he lost again.

    Some might disagree, but the fight that came to mind here was DLH-Quartey. About 3 30 seconds moments of action and 34 minutes of posing.

    Yeah, it was a pretty good fight. Nice exchanges, with Whitaker being more offensive than usual and throwing some terrific combinations.

    I can't think of any fight more overrated than De La Hoya-Quartey, except for maybe Holyfield-Tyson 1, which was decent but a horrible choice for 1996's FOTY.

    Oscar and Ike spent most of the fight staring at each other, and doing little. Not a terrific chessmatch where one guy makes a mistake and the other makes him pay, but a pose-match.

    There needs to be a "worst Lampley cheerleading/hyperbole moments" thread. Most of it would involve De La Hoya, though there are many other notable moments ("BANG! BANG! BANG!" comes to mind).

    Barrera too. A lot of Lampley's cheerleading, I think he was just being an HBO guy.

    With Barrera, Lampley had a huge man-crush on him.

    "Bang, bang, bang!" is awesome. It's one of the great tragedies of our time that no one mixed this into a hap-hazard dance track.

    Leonard-Hearns 1 is kinda overrated too. Great drama and skill level, but action level was blah.

    Good fight and all, but not FOTY material. Lee-Locicero was better
