Mine is Raheem vs. Freitas. "Holy slumber Batman"
What do you guys think?
Briggs - Lyakhovich
Corrales - Clottey: Just because as a big Chico fan I found it hard to watch, especially in retrospect.
Recently...any fight containing anyone from the contender.
I remember the Burger King tagged Poop-po aka the "mouthpiece spitter" ;D in mid rounds and holding on for dear life. But Frietas came back in late rounds though.Quote:

Yes Tye fields is horrible. Briggs Lyakovich was incredly awful until the KO, but since there was a decent KO, Byrd vs Williamson was a much more awful affair. Equally awful for 11 rounds though. Thankfully didn't see Freitas Raheem, but I did see what I think was Freitas (hopefully) last fight against Cristobal Cruz and it was a sleeper. I think at an elite level, certainly one of the worst fights recently was Taylor vs Spinks.. It was just a nothing fight, Taylor was way too big and strong to be bothered by Spinks but for some reason wouldn't try and make it a physical fight, then Spinks who was only concerned with not getting hit by using the ring and throwing an occasional jab. Anything he landed was almost just for show, and Taylor barely did anything the entire fight. Really disliked that one.
Byrd-Williamson. Easily. Wlad-Sultan was also pretty bad

Danny williams v Audley Harrison - the 1st fight
Both men slagged each other off for years claiming either one wasnt fit to be in the ring with the other guy.
They hyped up the fight for months in the national tabloids telling everyone how much they hated each other and audley in particular spent weeks ranting about how bad he was going to hurt williams.
Come fight night and the 2 just sparred for a good 10 rounds, neither over commiting, harrison in particular reaked of a man too afraid to get hurt to actually commit and it was only when finding out from his corner how far he was behind danny that he started trading...........and got dumped on his arse with a big overhand right.
From that day on...A-Farce Fraudley Harrison was born!!
How about Sprott/Skelton last year? These two hugged all night!!Quote:

I just couldnt stomach to watch that. Both coming off wins against britains supposed "great heavyweight hopes" both very up and down fighters, both mid 30s, both supposed contenders for Wlad who would of flattened the pair of them in an instant.
It was almost like watching your favourite footie sides reserve team play!!
The reason for my choice of least favorite fight is because i expected a war and got come dancing.
James BONECRUSHER Smith v Mike Tyson.
i really thought Smith would just come out slugging as he did againest Witherspoon. :(
Harrison - Williams 1 was awful.
Briggs--Lyakhovich. One because it was boring. Two because my man SL lost. :(
Holyfield / Larry Donald.....That was just sad
Princess Hamed /Cesar soto
Eder Gonzalez /Juan M. Coggi I.......The# 1 worst ref job I have ever seen out of everyfight in lifetime.They should have just tied gonzalez's arms behind him and gave the ref a gun to keep pointed at him,Criminal!!
Unfortuanatly this could be a long thread :p
Anything John Ruiz is in.
John Ruiz - Fres Oquendo
Gatti-Mayweather was hard to watch
Tyson vs Mcbride
more recently...
klitschko-ibraghimov
Never thought id see the day a heavyweight unification fight at the MGM would send me to sleep.
Heavyweight boxing died for me that night!!
Matt Skelton and Mich Sprott...could not beleive what i was watching that night..and what makes this worse skelton got a title shot off it!!
.....Madness absolute madness.
Jones Jr V Trinidad
Wlad v Ibragimov
Sprott v Skelton
And dare I say it... Calzaghe v Hopkins, apart from the first round, the whole fight bored the shit out of me.
Ali vs. Trevor Berbick; This and the Larry Holmes fight broke my heart when I first saw them. Ali was too shot to even bluff the early rounds:eek:
few more recent ones...
Hopkins-tarver
hamed-calvo
witter-corley
I actually did fall asleep in round 7 for a bit!:-\Quote:

Hopkins: Calzaghe was a bit crap....not because of Joe mind you...

Let me do my counter punching thing and look good while I frustrate you. Then, after the seventh round, fight normally and we will see who wins.
B-Hop: OK Oscar. You better pay me though. Or I'll find a way to kick your ass outside the ring.
Oscar: That's settled. (Aside). I hope he doesn't hurt me too bad. I think I'll take a dive the first opportunity I get after the sixth. I'm getting paid millions, so why take a beating from this monster?
the one thaat sticks in recent memory has got to be taylor v spinks - now that was boring.
also the undercard of hatton - mayweather was crap - it looked good on paper but had switching channels most of the time
