      Andre Dirrell vs. Curtis Stevens was beyond dreadful. Even Larry Merchant said it was the worst fight he had ever seen.

        It was sad seeing Ali as a shadow of himself, but strangely I found the fight quite entertaining and competitive. Ali wasn't nearly as bad as he was against Holmes.........

        Now Ali vs Holmes was truely painful to watch!

          Naseem Hamed-Cesar Soto, its more like a wrestling 3-count.

          Roy Jones vs Rick Frazier.

              surprised Ali vs. Holmes hasn't been mentioned more. A legend of the sport brutalised despite being so far gone he could barely win a shadow boxing match. All for the benefit of casinos and tv. Not to mention all the idiocy building up to it with ali being given muscle destroying drugs to keep his weight down.

              Also this was fairly depressing.

                bradley and alexander has to be on the list considering that it almost bankrupted HBO boxing and ate about 1/4 of its budget for the year for off ppv


                and heads rolled after that one, too.


                mosley and pacquiao was a bit let down too


                and lots of the fights this year on solo boxeo tecate. bad matchmaking and record padding

                that might be the worst boxing show on TV. the only exciting fights are the swing bouts with nobodies // club fighters swingin for four rounds


                froch vs dirrell


                for some reason, and i'm not complaining, bad fights just dont stay in mind for long

                  And after the Kotelnyk fight. Unbelievable what they'll do for a hypejob.

                  As long as they keep a pay per view system buyers remorse will ensure bad fights lead to a loss of fans. It's such clear short-termism.

                    in arums//kings case i cant say i blame the guy


                    after all, those guys are in their 80's

                    there's no fifteen year plan for them


                    the rest of them are very guilty and you make a great point


                    boxing habitually compromises itself

                      Roy's opponent was 39 years old, see for yourself how this Frazier guy threw his punches.
