Re: The WORST rivalries
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.Originally Posted by Master

I am sorry you had to sit and watch those fights but Valuev v Ruiz was even worse.Great calls on both (Duran/Camacho/Paz and Pac/Bradley)!!!

Re: The WORST rivalries
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.

I think Holyfield won all of them and hate Ruiz for faking a low blow when Evander landed a body shot.Product of Don King in house useless round robin at it's finest.

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 testesI think Holyfield won all of them and hate Ruiz for faking a low blow when Evander landed a body shot.Product of Don King in house useless round robin at it's finest.

Re: The WORST rivalries
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.

Re: The WORST rivalries
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.

Re: The WORST rivalries
Was reminded of Azumah Nelson v Jesse James Leija going four times. Or greybeards Nelson and Fenech in third fight.

Re: The WORST rivalries
In that case add Jones Jnr v Hopkins 2.

Re: The WORST rivalries
I've managed to delete the steam off that fight from my mind up until nowIn that case add Jones Jnr v Hopkins 2.. Lost track but how long were they planning that, Jones being pole axed by Green just prior. It almost felt like Hopkins doing a favor for Jones but the fight sank to the bottom like a rusty anchor.
