I feel thats a little harsh. Barrera simply got his ass kicked first time out, he didn't have the chance to do much of anything. The second one was quite bad, but I suspect Marco did all that he could.

What's the worst performance you've seen from an 'elite' boxer? One in which the fighter let himself down badly. Please, no Jeff Lacy nominations, he was only pretending to be elite.

My nomination is Antonio Tarver vs Bernard Hopkins. What in god's name was Antonio doing? He appeared to decide that throwing punches was an unneccessary luxury for a boxer and that it was enough merely to stare at Bernard over his gloves with the expression of a petualant child on his face. Rubbish.

What's yours?

Pernell Whitaker against Wilfredo Rivera 1st fight. He didn't look to good.
Pernell Whitaker against Andrei Pestriaev. Whitaker is a GREAT GREAT fighter but sometimes I feel he thought he didn't need training against certain fighterz.

Calzaghe against B-Hop...then again B-Hop didn't look too good either.

MAB against Pacman I & II.

Well some would say the weight affected Tarver against Bernard.

I'd say maybe Trinidad against Bernard. I mean he lost pretty much every round and then got knocked out.
