WBA hvywgt. Mismatches

[The_One77]

what about mike tyson versus trevor berbick or michael spinks

[jabsRstiff]

Page vs Coetzee

?

Are you serious ?

Coetzee had knocked out Dokes in a major upset....& Page had lost to David Bey.
Coetzee was favored to beat Page, actually.

George Foreman vs. Jose Roman
Mike Tyson vs. Tony Tubbs and Carl Williams

George Foreman vs. Jose Roman
Mike Tyson vs. Tony Tubbs and Carl Williams

i was referring to when the CHAMPION is the big underdog....

[Crouching Tiger]

I saw FOREMAN-JOSE ROMAN on tape. It ended in KO a few minutes after the start of the bell in Round One. It was the worst, the most miserable mismatch I have ever seen in HW boxing!!!

[The Pretender]

all the skinny boyz, hatin' on fat guys who kick a$$, sad stuff, I was taught 2 never judge a book by its cover, but hey my wife watches Roy and Oscar fights because she thinks they're gorgeous, so I guess I can't blame you guys for doin the same thing....

Don't hate on fit guys because you're a fattie. Look at Ruiz, he's ripped and also can kick ass.

[Kimmy]

I think one should adjust rematch to bad match. The WBA have produced an array of terrible heavyweight fights over the years. I remember one of the worst being Tubbs Vs Witherspoon, two fat guys fighting should hve been the tag line!

[Dynamite76]

Maybe, but it was said that Gerrie didn't want no part of Greg,due to styles.

[Shot]

I find it ironic that there have been a significant number of WBA heavyweight "champions" who have been a huge underdog and virtually overmatched vs. the challenger to the title....

Bruce Seldon vs. Mike Tyson was a brutal mismatch

Ruiz vs. Toney, f#@% the haters, this is a mismatch as well

Ruiz vs. Jones, Roy won every minute of every round

Bonecrusher vs. Mike Tyson, ouch what a lousy fight


does anybody know of any others that come to mind?

The problem with some of the mismatches you here refer to the champion is the overmatched person. In those cases you cannot blame the WBA for taking the strongest challenger there is. It is in those cases just unfortunate that the champ is so weak you cannot just strip the champ of the belt just because the challenger is much better.
