    I think the worst rivalry in boxing history is HANDS DOWN, Mayweather vs Pac.

    They ducked and dodged each other for 7-8 years. Mayweather was scared of Pac and Pac was scared of a drug test. So the fight doesn't get made when they're at their best.

    Then many years pass, Pac slows down and isn't killing guys like he used to, has been knocked cold by JMM, so Floyd finally summons up the balls to fight Pac now that he's weakened.

    All the shit talk, all the hoopla, all the anticipation, and it's one of the worst abortions of a fight ever!

    Fuck that rivalry! I hope the next shit Floyd takes comes out square.

    Promoters get in where they fit in and push rivalries from neighborhood, Country or just convenient familiarity. Honestly Manny v Marquez 1-101 seemed a bit unnecessary but we did get a great finale planking out of it. Bronco McKart v Winky Wright x 3.. Cooney v Holmes had to pushed with all the wrong reasons?

    Great calls on both (Duran/Camacho/Paz and Pac/Bradley)!!! I'm a huge Evander Holyfield fan, but his "rivalry" with John Ruiz was horrible. It is by far the worst to me, since as a Holyfield fan I was forced to watch probably the ugliest series in history. Just proves that Norman Stone and Ruiz could make anyone look bad in there.

    I am sorry you had to sit and watch those fights but Valuev v Ruiz was even worse.

    Product of Don King in house useless round robin at it's finest. The beginning of the ugliest run in Holyfields career, battered by Toney next and just badly thought out moves to "fight" styles like Byrd and Donald. Larry F'n Donald Just be glad they didn't go for a 4th after "draw" aka Holyfield win in last fight.

    I think Holyfield won all of them and hate Ruiz for faking a low blow when Evander landed a body shot.

    Ruiz held Kirk Johnson's head down so that all body shots strayed low and then Kirk was just like "fuck it" and landed one last punch to the testes

    Groves vs Degale just because they were both before peak and they made it sound a like world title unification fight.

    Frampton vs Quigg because Frampton is just a much better fighter and Quigg for me is just, just and I mean just world level.
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    That is very harsh on both accounts.

    How often do you see 2 young undefeated fighters fight one another at such an early stage and not talk crap about building up the fight and interest but just getting the fight on? Not often BJS v Junior is the other example but they are few.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
