    Witter was the worst performance, he was out looking for a hatton fight but showed nothing in deserving one against bradley.

    That was really embarassing.

    I think easily Clinton Woods. He's the only one who didn't even give a good effort. Hatton has nothing to be ashamed of losing to Floyd, he fought hard.. Obviously Gavin Rees did his absolute best against Kotelnik, just a physical mismatch.. I haven't actually seen the Witter Bradley fight, but from what I've read Witter boxed well early on then got dropped and faded... but Clinton Woods did horribly against Tarver, with all the talk leading up to that fight you'd think at least he'd give it his all, but indeed he was for some reason in awe of Tarver. And I realize how pathetic that sounds. He had a very beatable fighter in front of him imo... Maybe he couldn't have possibly beaten Tarver even if he pressed harder... Tarver is a good counter puncher. But it was still really a non effort from Woods.

    Clinton Woods was never going to beat Tarver. You were delusional if your though so, the same way you were delusional if you expected Hatton to beat Floyd. Hoped, fine. I hoped hatton would win, too, but I expected he would lose. People on this forum hate Tarver and underrate him so badly that you can't see the forest for the trees. Tarver has lost to 4 fighters - of them two hall of famers, Glen Johnson, and early in his career a very good fighter Eric Harding. He avenged all his loses except for Hopkins. Woods didn't put in a good effort? Bull. He was in against a better fighter and Tarver's counterpunching had a lot to do with Woods not letting his hands go more.

    My biggest letdowns:

    Margarito vs Williams - slow start, fought stupid, should have won.

    Hagler vs Leonard - fought stupid and let Leonard use his jedi mind tricks on the judges. I had it for Hagler, but the loss was his fault for letting it be that close.

    Trinidad vs Oscar - Trinidad won, but I didn't want him to win like that.

    Tarver is 39. He looked crap beating Roy 3rd fight. Decided to try his hand in hollywood. Looked even more crap losing to Hopkins. Then looked average/crap going through the motions against Muriqi and Santiago.

    Woods had been on a roll showing the best form of his life. They have similar form with Glen Johnson.

    Picking Woods to beat an old, seemingly past it Tarver is hardly comparable to picking Hatton against the P4P best fighter in the world.

    I thought he looked pretty good in last Jones fight. Good enough to beat him clearly, and he nearly knocked him out of the ring. Hopkins fought one of the best fights of his career against Tarver. Hopkins was in superb condition, and Tarver was coming down from Mason Dixon. Yeah, he looked like crap against Muriqi, but he looked much better against Santiago.

    Woods was on a "roll" but some of that roll had to do with fighting in his own backyard. I think Mickey Vann had the right score in the Johnson fight. Woods is also no spring chicken.

    You're right though, it was delusional to think Hatton would beat Mayweather. It was simply optimistic to think Woods would beat Tarver.

    No way did Tarver look good in the rubber match with Jones. He was 100% there for the taking, as he was in the Muriqi fight.. I didn't see him fight Santiago, so I guess that's part of the reason I gave Woods a good shot to beat him. Even based on that fight though, Woods did poorly, and should've done more.
