Most Over-Hyped Fight of All Time

[Unknowndonor]

tyson v spinks
holmes v cooney

Holmes-Cooney was actually a good fight. I knew Holmes would win, but Cooney was destroying people, and gave Holmes a run. Holmes is just one of the best Heavies ever. It was the highest grossing fight at that time, but I don't think it was overhyped.

There have been many fights that were supposedly going to be a superstar versus a superstar that ended up being a mismatch with one fighter being exposed. Calzaghe- Lacy is up there, and Zab -PBF is soon to be up there. Any others?

one of tysons fights ....i'll just say McBride fight ....hes 39 and washed up ...mcbride is a big nobody
this shoulda been on espn on a wednsday lol it was PPV and seriously hyped ...anyway one of Tysons fighst would have to the most uselessly hyped fight ever

Rahman-Toney...not only was it boring, it had James Toney in it

tyson v spinks
holmes v cooney

I agree, although Tyson- Spinks turned out the way that I thought it would....91 seconds.....But Holmes-Cooney was HUGELY HYPED!!!! everybody was talking about it, even non-boxing fans

I may be mistaken, but to me, over-hyped fight means: afight that was hyped, but didn't live up to expectations.

Tyson-Spinks I can see, but Cooney-Holmes was a decent fight. It probably was the most hyped fight, but Cooney brought it. Spinks did not. Just like my pick, Lewis-Grant. The promoters said Grant was the second coming, and the fight was the biggest {meaning weight and height} ever. We know what happened.

Your right, Holmes-Cooneywas a great fight, but I was thinking in terms of super hyped fights, not fights that were hyped but then were busts.
