What are some of the most disappointing fights you've seen?
Some of mine include Wlad-Haye, Bradley-Alexander and B-Hop-Calzaghe.
Check out my new blog post too when you get a chance.
To me it...
Gotta be Bradley/Alexander. Everything leading up to it smelled disappointment. As soon as the matchup was made it looked fine, but everything after it was atrocious. The booking, venue, attendance, and the fight itself sucked.
I look at this thread to mean fights that we actually expected to be good, but then ended up ****ty. Right? In that case its tougher, because lots of big fights were going to be obvious stinkers from the get go. I dont remember the last fight that I thought would actually be exciting that ended up boring. Haye vs Wlad was never going to be a fan friendly fight. Just like Ward vs Froch will be ugly and foul filled. Most of these are clear the second they are signed.
Thanks for pointing out Froch/Ward. That fight is going to be horrible. It may end up looking more like an MMA match with all the clinching we will be seeing.
I don't even remember them fighting. It's normally hard to forget a Katsidis fight.
you didn't miss anything
it was supposed to be a FOTY candidate but was a dud
because all they were, were names picking up a paycheck.
haye/klitschko would be my pick. haye bamboozled me into thinking he'd be a challenge for wlad.
Me too.........
Pacquiao's last couple fights have been pretty disappointing.

Disappointing meaning I actually thought there was a chance it could be good? Anybody with a brain knew Bradley Alexander was going to suck.
1.Wlad vs Haye
2.Froch vs Abraham
HBO hyped Bradley and Alexander to be the next great fighters, so it was frustrating to watch them fall short of expectations skill-wise.
