whats the most disapointing fight in the history of the sport?

[erics44]

i am a united fan from salford and the united v england thing is only there with bellends unfortunately

the real united fans cheer on the national side as much as they do their club side

i had a discussion with a couple of "united fans" on another forum, all this united>england bollox just before the world cup, shocking attitude

mind you they were from peterborough or somewhere, says it all

Which forum was that out of interest?

uk-muscle

where are you from?

As a liverpool fan the only player's I didnt like playing for England was Beckham and G.Neville, the others i didnt mind and cheered on.

Dela Hoya - Mayweather - Damn over 2m PPV buys for that?
Tyson - Spinks - People expected a good showing from Spinks given that he was able to stop Cooney. Superfight for the real lineal heavyweight title lasted 90 seconds . Some people thinks Spinks throw the fight
Lewis-Tyson - Tyson looks like a punching bag out there. Lewis purposely did not KO him right away. One sided fight. Its supposed to be a dramatic Ali-Frazier fight.

Got to say mate.I enjoyed all the fights you mentioned.

They were not great but good in there own way.

i can imagine oscars fights with mayweather/trinidad wouldnt of gone down overly well with your casual fan

but for your hardcore fight fan it was 24rounds of pure joy, hairs on the back of your neck stuff

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

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

There are many Lewis V McCall (The crying game)
Tyson V Holyfield 2 (The ear biting game)
Leonard V Camacho (It was just sad to see this happening)
Green V Jones jr (Green would not get a job as Jones sparring partner in his prime)

However, i still regard Ali fighting Holmes as one of the saddest moments in boxing history.

I'm @ a red light n bam! it jst kiks in. JCC vs. Pernell... #1 & #2 P4P @ da time da very 1st time dis hppns. Both undftd. I say dspntng due to da result.

[El Kabong]

I will say Lewis-Tyson, RJJ-Hopkins II and RJJ-Calzaghe just because before those fights actually came to fruition I thought they would have both fighters in their primes and be highly competitive fights......alas all 3 sucked ass, though my first glimpse of Pacquiao came on that Lewis-Tyson card and he was a beast then too!

[ruthless rocco]

castillo v mayweather was really crap assed.

ag ag ag

jones would of had him out of there before the 1st bell ran had it of been prime rjj

so sad seeing roy getting his arse handed to him by a one dimensional slugger

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.

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.

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.

I beg u people to watch froch vs Dirrell again and u won't b as disappointed, watch frochs long jab keep him out the shit points wise. At times froch made dirrell look ordinary when jabbing. Try and forget froch missing the bigshots

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.
