Thread: Worst Fights you've seen

We've all had that stinker of a fight that we didn't enjoy. My lists and not in any particular order.

Haye-Valuev
Baldomir-Mayweather
Holyfield-Ruiz (all 3)
Calzaghe-Hopkins
Froch-Dirrell

Where do I start...

Stevens-Dirrell
Liakhovich-Briggs
Awdley-Danny
PBF-Baldomir
Rahman-Barrett
Byrd-DaVarryl
JLC-Reyes
Lewis-Akiwande

Liakovich Briggs was definetly one, I remember watching that with my roomate who wasn't a boxing fan, needless to say it cemented his stance.

Roy Jones vs Tarver III was really a shit fight, Roy had like one or two rounds where he actually threw punches and Taver couldn't do anything, but Roy did nothing for the other 10 rounds, nothing worse than watching a guy just not trying.

Zahir Raheem vs Freitas was an awful fight, just an ugly clash of styles where neither guy deserved a win.

I thought Calzaghe v Hopkins was an OK fight

1) Johnny Nelson -v- Osvaldo Ocasio.

2) Johnny Nelson -v- James Warring.

3) Mike Tyson -v- James Bonecrusher Smith (possibly the only boring fight that Tyson was ever involved in).

4) Sugar Ray Leonard -v- Roberto Duran 3.

5) Matt Skelton -v- Michael Sprott.

That's the one I meant.

Thankyou for that, I got Ocasio & DeLeon mixed up.

A few that put me to sleep or were just sad to watch

Kevin kelly vs Bones Adams....good friends should not fight zzzzz
Pernell whitaker vs Azumah Nelson....hated it,the tactics,clowning
Roy Jones jr vs Fermin Chirino.....Roy did not "get payed enough to satisfy the fans".Roy dogged it flat out
Ray olivera vs Tracy Spann...just sad beating
Bernard Hopkins vs Simon Brown....Brown should have NEVER been in there with Hopkins at that point.Sad,Brown deserved better
Riddick Bowe vs Larry Donald.....Press conference puts fight to shame.Grab a pillow
Hector Camacho vs Ray Leonard....Camacho actually thought it meant something
Naseem Hamed vs Ceasar Soto.....Not even a butterface,100% ugly as can be
Floyd Mayweather vs Carlos Baldomir....must have been the pink gloves ?

In no particular order

Matt Godfrey -vs- Shawn Hawk
Andre Dirrell -vs- Curtis Stevens
Sven Ottke -vs- Rudy Markussen
Chris Byrd -vs- Davarryl Williamson
Wladimir Klitschko -vs- Sultan Ibragimov

Jones vs. Tarver 3
Holyfield vs Valuev
Judah vs Witter
Judah vs. Corley
Wlad Klitschko vs. Sultan Ibrov
Spinks vs Taylor
Hopkins vs Taylor 2

These are boring fights

W Klitschko-Ibraghimov
Witter-corley
baldomir-zab
mcdermott-williams II
V Klitschko-peter

Look no further than Johnny Nelson v Carlos DeLeon , this was the only so called fight in boxing history were both fighters were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize after the "fight".
They both shared something in common with Michael Jackson that night ----they wore gloves for no apparent reason.

Vitali v Peter in what way would you class that as the worst fight you have seen??

Vitali just beat the fuck out of him I thought he looked great in that fight.

Willaims v Audley 1
Skelton V Sprott
