    Im not a perfect list, but 10 boring/dissappointing big fights for sure
    Winky vs Taylor...you're out of your mind.

    What was boring about Cotto-Foreman?

      To be fair though some listed (like BHop Roy Jones Jr. II), were **** fights.
      I can tell a lot of these guys are not even boxing fans. They are just fans of one style or one nationality.

        Depends on what kind of boxing fan you are. Jones Jr. - Hopkins 2, both looked old, too littke to late. Hopkins - Winky, J. Taylor - Spinks ( I kept thinking they gonna fight or make out) , Any Ruiz, Klitschko fight(unless he Is being ko'd) this includes the Haye fight, Pac - Mosley, ( I blame Mosley, Pac and Arum for that non sense, Clottey and Marg fight. Valuev -Holyfield.

        The TS should had just asked what Mayweather fights did you hate, The Marquez fight wasn't bad, Floyd used his skill not his size to dismantle the number 2 p4p (57%-12%)
        May-Judah was a good fight esp with the brawl.
        DLH fight was good and just way over hyped plus I got tired of seeing dlh flurry for like 30secs and do nothing else. But the whole time everyone kept thinking is this mayweathers time to lose just from the hype up.
        It just comes down to either you like technical boxing or brawling

              Lewis Klitschko??? What the flyin ****...those 6 rounds had more action than the last 8 years of HW Championship boxing since.

              Are you talking about the anti-climactic ending?

                The worst big fight I have seen in recent years was Calzaghe-Bhop, absolutely terrible to watch.

                    Does anyone remember the hype leading up to Hagler vs Duran? If I recall correctly (and I could be mistaken as I was a youngster at the time), the term "Fight of the century" was even being thrown around. In any event, I remember that fight being the first "Event" in which I felt the cold sting of over-hyping.
