      Most everyone knew there was slim to no chance Hopkins was going to knock out Taylor. Only people who bought into Hopkins saying that believed it. Hopkins Taylor II was a great fight if you like two evenly matched fighters going at it. Some of it was "boring" but do you really think either could have rushed the other over and over and not got destroyed? Castillo-Coralles 2. The weight issue which at fight time wasn't and issue but, just put a damper going into it after all the hype, then it wasn't really able to come close to what the first fight had...so theres my vote.

        good point, i was going by which was more boring, instead of what i should have, bigger bust. so, i would go corrales castillo II (even tho it was 100x the hopkins taylor II)

            Trinidad vs. Oscar De La Hoya was the biggest bust in boxing history.

                  I expected Jones-Tarver III to be a bust so that wasn't much of a surpise. I thought Hopkins would be a little more active in the rematch but it wound up being a replay of the first fight..not a terrible fight but a boring one...Corrales-Castillo II was a pretty big bust because they hyped it sooooo much and it was never going to live up to the first one. I think they were all on pretty equal footing as far as being lame for what they were supposed to be.

                    jones tarver III was a robbery for anyone who shelled out $49.95 for this "fight" (myself included). the undercard wasnt noteworthy and the main event was anti-climactic, boring, and neither fighter looked impressive.

                    at first i thought "im not interested" but on the day of the fight, i thought "its history, why not wintess history?" after the fight, i thought "i will NOT pay for this bull**** PPV".

                    words cannot describe how robbed i felt.

                      5 minutes before Hopkins entered the ring.
                      I said to myself, I am about to witness history, they will be talking about this in 20+ years!

                      What a bust~!
