    Biggest Letdown of the Year...So Far

    This year we have had a bunch of upsets AND a bunch of fights that had a good deal of anticipation leading up to them but that may have failed to deliver...what was the biggest letdown of the year?

    Well I think u gotta say that the Corrales-Castillo rematch was a bit of a letdown. No title on the line, and it only went four rounds.

    Don't get me wrong they were good rounds while they lasted, but the dramatics just wasn't there.

      Trinidad-Wright (Tito fan, complete domination by Winky, boring fight)
      Corrales-Castillo 2 (Air let out of fight when Castillo couldnt make weight, Showtime PPV sucks ass -- really that whole card was a disappointment)

        Yeah it was, when I was at the arena I was dissapointed...

        When I saw Arce KO Hussein in 2...

        That just pissed the **** out of me...

          I'd have to go with Tito/Winky. It was the first fight party I've ever thrown and I had a **** load of people over (casual boxing fans) hyping Tito up BIG TIME! Halfway through the fight they were like, "Is this the guy you were talking about?" Man, that fight had me looking ****** and left a bad taste in my mouth.

            I thought Corrales-Castillo was a letdown, but not nearly as big a joke as the Tarver-Jones III fight...even Hopkins-Taylor, which was a lousy fight, had some fireworks....so far all of the heavyweight marquee fights this year have also been huge jokes, with the exception of Toney-Ruiz, but it turned into a joke when Toney tested positive for the roids

              Maybe I should have included that but I bet Winky fans thought the fight was great...Tito looked like **** but I was mesmerized by how one-sided the fight was...I can't really say if it was good or bad but it was strange to see a fighter like Tito have his ass handed to him for almost every round

                I noticed Hopkins-Taylor is in the poll. Why? I was at the fight and let me tell ya it was the most exciting fight I've ever been to.

                It was one of those fights that had so much signifigance and the anticipation of the action during the rounds was an awesome feeling.

                    the Tarver/Jones fight was WWAAAAAYYY more a letdown than the Castillo/Corrales II fight, they at least went at it for four solid rounds, screw the weigh-in garbage.

                    Neither Tarver or Jones proved anything in that $50 waste.

                    Hopkins/Taylor I shouldn't even be in there, wasn't a letdown what-so-ever.. same with Castillo/Corrales if you just focus on the fight and not the soap-opera pre-fight. The heavyweight's weren't expected to do any better so it's easily the Tarver/Jones fight.
