Mosley-Margarito

A current one would be Provodnikov vs Bradley, Timothy made a mistake in underestimating Ruslan.

There's been a fair share of truly ridiculous suggestions in this thread (usually from people who don't know what an actual cherry-pick is) but nothing will top this one:

And the prime one in my opinion was De LaHoya-Trinidad.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



If this is a cherry-pick - a fight between two prime, elite fighters; both of whom were rated as being the very best in their division, and a fight that was among the most anticipated in recent memory - then there is no such thing as an even, fair matchup in boxing.

Both undefeated, no less.

Taken back by that one. What an absurd choice.

You are right. Regardless Kessler and his promotor jumped at the chance to fight Ward first as he was unproven and easily agreed to do it in Oakland thinking it was going to be easy work. If I recall correctly at that time Kessler was on a winning tear and was the odds on favorite to win the SuperSix let alone beat Ward.

It was a random draw

De La Hoya - Pacquiao
Pacquiao - Marquez 3 & 4

It was a random draw

It just get's worse. You think it can't, but it just always get's worse.
