    There's no comparison, it's the latest one. Oscar vs tito was a terrible fight but nothing compares this one. I also didn't think oscar Floyd was that bad, it was a close tactical fight.

      de la hoya-trinidad was a robbery. at least the others didn't have a scandal like that

      the action of klitschko-haye was the worst though

        Yeah. All were bad. Leonard-Duran III was absolutely dreadful. The only meaningful punch came from Duran in the 11th when he opened Leonard up. Other than that, a pitty-pat track meet. All the fights though were missing engagement. I am a Klitschko fan but that was disappointing.

            Oh the first one charged 100 dollars. Dreadful fight. Very much a robbery.

              nothing will top the sheer disappointment that floyd and pac both brought, both throwing and landing career lows, maybe like 1 or 2 significant punches landed by both. dreadful

                True. Fans want action, not chess matches.

                  Mayweather-Canelo, Haye-Klitschko were two of the worst given the hype leading into them.

                    De La Hoya / Trinidad by FA

                    1. 2 PRIME undefeated pound for pound fighters in their 20s

                    2. Mexico/PR rivalry

                    3. 2 boxer punchers that had a history of exciting fights

                    4. 2 celebrities in their own right

                    How can that fight not produce fireworks?
