    De La Hoya-Trinidad. It was suppose to be the Leonard-Hearns of that generation. I'm pretty sure people know why it was disappointing.

    Memory a bit off but was a fight involving Nicky walker-Ron admundson-Dan Schomer ? Two of the three I believe. It had to have at least 3 rounds in which not a single punch landed. Was just dreadful.

    Terry Norris Vs Paul vaden. Ugh

    Junior Witter v Demarcus Corley. I had an idea it was going to be pretty poor. Did I not have a concept of how poor it actually could be.
    Skelton v Williams in the Millenium Stadium. When you buy tickets expecting to see JoeCal v Glen Johnson, that farce really got me annoyed.
    Klitschko v Ibragimov. Baaad.

    I think most of the fights listed don't qualify.
    Here's why. In order for it to be the most disapointing fight in history it would have to either involve two big names or 1 superstar name.

    So far I think gen. bulldog has listed the biggest let down...

    Great call on this one.

    How about Tysons return fight vs. McNeeley?

    Leonard-Hearns 2 Leonard-Duran 3 Too little too late. Leonard gets two paydays in and boors the crap out of the fans and if I missed my guess, Hearns got a draw after putting Leonard down on his tail and he wouldn't mix it up with an old Duran.

    Witter KO over Corley was a good fight and probably his best ever performance, but have to go for ODH v Tito and RJJ v Toney.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I think that a big disapointment was Buster Douglas' first fight after Tyson when people realized he was a one and done.

    I also nominate every heavyweight fight in the last ten years.

    And can you count the entire aftermath of Castillo-Corrales 1?

    For me personally it was Margarito Mosley because the disappointment started before the fight. The new welterweight champ was barely in the fight that was his showcase. And a hero becomes a pariah and herpe on the sport.

    If you're blindly nominating "every heavyweight fight in the past 10 years" you're a moron. Yeah the good fights are few and far between but Lewis-Vitali was a heck of a fight and Brewster-Lyakhovich was great! But yes Byrd-Williamson, Ruiz-Oquendo, etc seem to be more the norm.

    I disagree with Jones/Hopkins 2 being "disappointing", because their first fight was absolutely unwatchable so I'm not sure why anyone was expecting anything more from the 2nd fight.

    Biggest disappointment (for me at least) was Tyson/Lewis. After all the buildup, to see Tyson look like utter shit and get destroyed so easily was really disappointing.

    tyson/lewis was a massive anti climax all things considering

    1st round was fun, after that it just turned into a beating. Lewis should of had him out of their after 4rds, absolutely no need to continue the punishment

    khan-barrera was also a big fuk off anti climax. Honestly thought we were in for a classic scrap, the cut ruined what could of been a great fight
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    Lewis really brought his good stuff for the Tyson fight. It went pretty much as expected. Did anyone really give Tyson chance? Tyson was done by that time.

    Disappointing for me was seeing Wilfred Benitez Ko'd by Mathew Hilton

    for me these spring to mind :

    Haye v Valuev was a bore.

    Tyson v Boneclutcher promised fireworks and was awful.

    Leonard v Duran 3 was a joke.

    Khan v Prescott , i really thought prescott could have got khan out of there earlier.
