        Everyone was saying Hopkins/Wright was a bad match up and was going to be a snooze fest, so I don't think that counts. Here is a lil example of what experts were saying pre-fight:
        Anyone who knows the phrase “Styles make fights” must know that this is a horrible match up. Yeah, you’ve got the two big names for HBO to promote, but anyone who knows a lick about boxing knows that putting two veteran defensive counterpunchers together is a surefire snoozefest recipe. And I say that as a huge fan of both fighters. If the Hopkins-Taylor fights can generously be called chess in the ring, then this match up will be like Scrabble without an hourglass timer. source

        With that said, Taylor/Spinks was horrible. ODH/Mayweather didn't live up to the hype, but wasn't technically a bad fight. Cant really rember what else, I seem to recall Allan Green being in a disappointing match or two. Calzaghe/Kessler was a lil disappointing, I thought it was going to be much more competitive. Antonio Tarver.

                maybe his fight with kirk johnson, but kirk decided to lay down and collect his paycheck to eat more donuts.

                the fights with rahman were supposed to be good, but ****ali pulled out like a ****** inside of lanny barbie trying to not prematurely bust.

                4 straight times.

                but the byrd and lewis fights were great, especially the 9th round of the tyrd fight and the follow up.
