    I remember at the time thinking they should have with held Douglas' purse from the Holyfield fight.

    Tyson/Holyfield II was both pathetic and disappointing. For that matter, you could have just about every Tyson fight from 1990 until the end of his career on here.

    Nothing is more pathetic to me than when a fighter clearly has no intention of trying to win a fight. I have always loved Mosley, but his performance against Pac was a payday.

    Good call and I agree 100%.

    People always slag boxers for being boring, ect, but IMO a boxer's concern shouldn't be to entertain, it should be to win the fight. This is a sport and his #1 goal should be to win, and in that I think the #1 responsibility the fighter owes to the paying public is the legimate EFFORT to win the fight and make it a contest.

    There's nothing worse than seeing guys in there just for the cheque.

    It wasnt a big fight....but if the criteria is simply that it had to be a championship fight, then this wins imo. It was an absolute farce

    Can we include this fight? Cook blew out a disc in his spine almost as soon as the fight started..surely that's not a fault in his performance?

    That fight was faked, plenty of bets on round 1 KO before the fight when everyone knows Burns can't punch at this level.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Derrick Gainer deserves the honor for THE MOST PATHETIC championship performance ever in the history of Boxing..

    It was an IBF/WBA unifications match but it was so sad and pathetic, I dont wanna talk about the details..

    Watch Marquez-Gainer and see how a fake champion performs under pressure..

    Camacho/ Chavez springs to mind. Terry Norris v Paul Vaden

    in a way I'd put Toney v Jones jr there. I still think Jones got in his head and Toney left some of his fire in the locker room

    well it depends really, Camacho pretty much redeemed himself a bit in the sense that he took his beating against Chavez and stood a bit with him rather than running all night like he had been doing since his close call against Rosario, but I guess you can say it was a bit disappointing in the sense that the fight was so lopsided
