there have been huge letdowns like Holyfield-tyson 2 and trinidad-de la hoya, and mismatches like barrera-fana, but they weren't that bad and boring compared to some others.
Hopkins-Wright is my choice as of right now. Mayweather-Baldomir was boring, but still better than the wrestling stinkfest that was Hopkins-Wright.
What PPV main event fights were worse?
Mayweather-Baldomir....i dont even know why i got that..even the undercard was crap
That's pretty ridiculous that you didn't enjoy Paul Williams giving some scrub brain damage. That fight was off the fucking chain.
Jim Lampley: "Punchstats from the last round: Paul Williams, landed 81 punches. I've seldom seen more connects in a single round!"
HUH, i did'nt think that was a boring fight
It wasn't a boring fight, a one point Pac was having a little bit of Trouble working out the taller fighter.
I would have to say Wright and Hopkins. Their good fighters but brought no excitement whatsoever. Thats what you get you have two defensive fighters going at each other.
Any PPV line up that contains the words "Floyd", "Mayweather" and "Junior" is DEFINITELY going to be boring. Obviously I exclude from that list the fight against Hatton, but the only reason that fight wont be boring is because it will contain one of the biggest upsets in the history of boxing.
wow, prepare to be let down man. Anyway Tyson vs. Doulgas already has that shit.
Briggs - Liakhovich was a PPV was it not? And that was utterly dreadful. Two out opf shape men staring at each other for eleven rounds and two minutes, fifty five seconds of the twelth.
wow poor Hopkins seems to be the top vote for the most boring fighter(and maybe rightfully so) but In my opinion I personally have never seen a smarter fighter that sticks to his game plan from round 1 thru 12 than Bernard Hopkins.This guy just knows how to win.
Agreed... it really is ring mastery... but holding to avoid punishment is kind of annoying. I appreciate the get out of the way style of Whitaker or Mayweather, and I like the block/counter defense of Winky. I just can't get into Hopkins.

Tyson-Spinks("to tell you the truth, I'm not too crazy about getting in the ring with that man") was pretty damn bad, after the way that one was built up. Shoulda stuck at light heavy there michael S.
How about Hopkins vs. Eastman? Terrible, although I can't remember if it is PPV, I would assume so though.
If it wasn't, probably Hopkins vs. Taylor, both of them. Big fight, in my favorite division, but I can't bring myself to watch past the ring entrances.
Hopkins-Eastman wasn't a PPV.
Hopkins-Taylor 1 and 2 weren't that bad. Better then the eastman fight (which still wasn't that bad, except for the begining rounds. The left hook Hopkins kept landing was beautiful though.)
Am I the only one here who can watch Hopkins fight besides Bhop42? Seems like it haha.
Ok man, if you say so, floyd did nothing the entire fight but throw 10 punches a round running to a UD, alright man, youre right, there was no action whatsoever.
Rahman and Barret was much more exciting, Ibrigamov/Briggs had much more action, infact, FOTY material it was incredible.
Yup infact, Juarez/Barrera was awesome, ANOTHER ftoy canidate.
I assume you're talking about Juarez/Barrera2 right? The first one was pretty damn good.
