I have a few personal....
Lewis/Golota...At the time I though Golota would pan out to something....His fights with Bowe he seemed like a bad MOFO who just had to keep them up a little bit to avoid DQ....He was blown out like it was his pro debut and he was doing it against the champ
Tszyu/Hatton...Thought it would be back and forth slugfest....Tszyu aged overnight....
Tyson/Spinks...Who thought Michael would fold that quick
Castillo v Corrales II and III
And for Uncle Sam Rahman v Maskaev ;)
Hopkins v Taylor I and II is a good call. Complete stinkers.
Barrera-Juarez II, although marco won it didn't have the intensity, drama and ebb and flow of their first fight.
Harrison v Williams for us Brits.
Roy Jones v Toney (knock down/ Push, aside) was a bit of a snooze fest.
Oh and Every other Emmanuel Augustus fight! >:mad
Sam Soliman vs Winky Wright
Arturo Gatti vs Leonard Dorin
De La Hoya vs Trinidad
Cintron vs Margarito
De La Hoya vs Trinidad tops my list, the other fights are just disappointments in my opinion.
Tyson - Lewis
I really thought Tyson would give Lennox a run for his money. I remember reflecting back on Rachman's one punch destruction of Lewis and Oliver Mccalls tap dance , and Ray Mercer 12 round beat down of Lewis, Hell yeah Ray beat his country ass ;) those fukin judges ! ;D! . I really thought Mike would have taking him out. very disappointed in that fight
Yeah I was just a kid when that fight went down, like 14 I think, or 13, I don't remember exactly, but I always liked Tyson, least how he fought not his antics, and I thought he had a real shot of knocking out Lennox. He was talking hella tough, and afterall Rahman did it. But instead he took a hellacious ass kicking, but took it like a man, no quitting, least not that night.Quote:

When Tyson was at his best Lennox was still an amateur(I think). Which lets you know how past his prime Tyson was when that fight went down. It was sad.Quote:

The Ouma Karmazin fight.
How many people bought HBO Latino and then watched Ouma get the tar beat out of him :'(
Lamon Brewster vs. Andrew Golota.
I was at the United Center in Chicago when this fight took place. The partisan Polish crowd had just seen Adamek get a decision against Briggs and was in a nationalistic frenzy. The crowd went wild when Golota entered the ring. 57 seconds and three punches later the building was silent. So silent that I was able to sneak onto the main floor and shake hands with Jim Lampley.
Pac V Morales will be disappointing.
