Mayweather vs Marquez. The size difference was just ridiculous.

Gatti was the favourite going into the Mayweather fight, people thought he would tear him a new one.

Froch-Mac
Wlad -Wach/TT

Mayweather-Marquez

Many stupid people thought this was a pretty even fight at the time.

Tyson vs Lewis.

Massive hype for that one... But besides a shot Tyson somehow landing a big haymaker in the 1st round... he had zero chance of winning that fight.

In recent yrs? I couldn't believe anybody actually paid to see May-JMM.

Wlad-Haye was anotha one, and so is Wlad-Povetkin.

VK-Peter was supposed to be tough since VK was comin outta retirement, but I knew he'd wipe the mat with Peter.

I figured Pac would beat Tim, but not as easily as he did. That decision was hilarious.

This. I'm a huge fan of both but wasn't hyped for that fight at all.

A lot of the fights mentioned weren't actually high profile.

The one that really jumps out to me, where the betting lines weren't in synch with reality, was Mayweather-Hatton. Another one was Calzaghe-Lacy.

There aren't many Mayweather fights that wouldn't fall into this category. Partly because he's so great and partly because he's so cautious about who he fights and how he's willing to face them.

Tyson-Lewis
Hopkins-Dela Hoya

even RJJ-Ruiz
