Fights that were supposed to suck but turned out awesome

[LA_2_Vegas]

?IDK if this fight was supposed to "suck" given the two names but Morales-Maidana

I thought Morales was going to die before the fight and wasn't expecting much, just hoping

Morales-Garcia I - similar situation

[Sweet Jones]

- Holyfield Foreman

Bradley/Provo, I cannot help but think that Bradley fought the fight he did in response to criticism of his “boring” style. That fight was a classic of sorts. Probably gained Bradley some fans at the cost of years off the end of his career.

Danny Garcia vs Zab Judah.
Zab was supposed to be a shot fighter, the way he lost to Amir, i thought Danny was going to knock him out cold. It seemed like a cherry pick fight from Danny. Zab was disrespected by GBP aswell as Angel Garcia. It turned into this whole beef aswell as it being a local rivalry. As a brit, i don't know a lot about the way local rivalries work in boxing, but an NY fighter vs a Philly fighter is like Liverpool vs Manchester or Sheffield vs Leeds, except there's even more history here in boxing.

Jeff "Hornet" Horn Vs Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao.
Jeff won a deserved decision.

Golota vs lamon, John, and Chris. All competitive fight s the only other guy would be Lennox Lewis, but the foul pole came up on the short end of these close exciting fights. 3 championship challenges in a row!

Pacquiao vs Ledwaba. Larry Merchant said he never heard of this guy meaning Pacquiao.

Azumah Nelson vs Salvador Sanchez

Nelson was a last minute substitute
and again nobody knew much about him except most thought Sanchez would stop him in a few rounds It turned out to be a great fight.

Yes. A cherrypick. What else would a 140lb feather fisted fighter be who had never fought at Welter before and wasn't the best at the 140 division before moving up to fight Manny be considered as?

Bradley debuted at 147 and had early fights there. He also took a fight at 147 in 2010 while he was 140 champ.

Who was the best at 140 when Bradley was fighting there?
