    Biggest letdowns in boxning history

    Tito De La Hoya has to rank up there. That was the biggest welterweight matchup since the 80's when you had Hearns and Leonard and what a stinker that turned out to be. You think the biggest?

      DE LA HOYA v. MAWEATHER!
      the highest selling boxing card ever and the most hype and it stunk like the fish in welters signature.
      the undercard ****** and both fighters put in little to no effort.
      it was a sparring mach.

        I agree DLH vs Money, although I will put more of the blame on Money.

            Yeah, I would say DLH vs Trinidad was the biggest because both fighters were knockout fighters. DLH ruined it for everyone. lol DLH vs Mayweather wasn't that disappointing because we expected Mayweather to fight a defensive fight.

              DLH vs Tito - Very boring fight with a bad decision

              Lewis vs Holyfield - one of the most boring fights ever with one of the worst decisions ever

              ---------------------------------------------------------------------

              DLH vs PBF fight wasn't great but the right guy won

                I'm might be in the minority but I dont agree



                I don't think it was a runaway robbery like alot of people say. It was a lousy fight because De La Hoya was effectively very defensive but there was so little to go on in the early rounds you could see giving some of them to Tito. De La Hoya had some decent rounds in the middle and than ran at the end. If you ask me he deserved to lose that descision as much or maybe more than he deserved to get it. you got to do more. It was actually nice to see the judges stand up to the De La Hoya machine, not reward coasting.

                  I also think DLH-Trinidad was the biggest flop. At least Mayweather-DLH didn't change from a boring boxing match to a pathetic game of tag.
