    Vernon Forrest-Raul Frank (II) : good call; this fight was awful !!!

    Also,

    Calzaghe/Starrie (under-card of Tyson/Francis) : this fight was horrible !!! One of the worst I've ever seen. If it'd been the first fight I ever watched, I would've never become a boxing fan. It was that bad.

    Also,

    Mosley/Forrest II : especially bad given the expectations. Simply painful and tedious to watch.

    If this is one of the worst fights you've ever seen than you've had it easy.

    Ali/Frazier II : terrible fight. Hardly watchable.

    Hatton/Urango : probably one of the worst fights in recent memory shown on HBO.

    A number of freitas' post-casamayor bouts were boring; attah and grigorian fights come to mind

    That is already a given. Just like no one really needs to mention Lewis-Tua anymore:lol:

    Good point... In fact, from this point forward every bad fight will be called a "Ruiz". For example:


    Man1: What do you think about the Hopkins-Wright matchup?

    Man2: Ah, I think it's gonna be a real Ruiz..

    That fight still pisses me off. :flip: Fucking Tua. Fucking Tua's corner, "throw the jab, throw the jab". a foot shorter than Lewis and they want him to throw the jab and fight on the outside.:doh:

    I didn't think Lewis v Tua was half bad. People complained because it wasn't a KO and Tua fought like a girl. The fight itself (forgetting the hype) was a great, dominant performance by Lewis.

    Lewis schooled him, but he still got hit with more shots than most people remember.

    It was a dissapointing fight, but far better than a lot of really bad fights like Judah-Witter, Ruiz-Holyfield III, Hopkins-Allen III, etc....I wouldn't put it anywhere near the crappy fights I listed.

    Yeah, Ruiz v Holyfield III was bad. One of the worst heavyweight title fights I've ever seen. Ali v Young and Ali v Wepner are two fights I view right up the very top of most unwatchable.

    I'm not sure if they're any worse than Witter v Corley though.

    Raheem/Juarez was pretty tough to take.

    Also, Byrd/D. Williamson was horrible.

    Very true. Raheem is in the bottom five of stink fighters. He might be number 1 or 2. I still think Stinks is the most boring fighter in boxing. Castillo and Hatton are on that list too. I am amazed people are excited about this fight. It will most likely be unwatchable.

    Hall/George right now on FNF. Hall is so slow with the jab, missing by a mile, and the other guy is walking around the ring, not throwing back, and on top of it all Joe Calzaghe gives his expert analysis.

    Raheem just pulled a repeat of his fight with Freitas including the front headlock, the tacklings, and his 80% holding/19% running/1% boxing style. :shit: :shit: :shit:

    Crowd boos Raheem, crowd cheers Cruz. They didn´t care about the decision. :laughing: :laughing:
