That is what I would say Tyson Bonecrusher. Both guys were so aware of the other's power they didn't punch much. The holding was not Bonecrushers fault totally. Mike really did not open up much himself, and when he did was when the fight had 10 seconds left and he was rocked. But I give both credit for fighting each other. Mike improved after this fight, he improved his bodypunching and became more efficient. Mike is one of the greatest heavyweights ever.

De La Hoya - Trinidad was a huge dissapointment

Nobody expected Mayorga - Vargas to go the distance

The first fight to come to mind was Lennox Lewis-David Tua.

Williams is not a big puncher.

Eddie Mustafa Muhammad squared off with plenty of fellow heavy hitters, but these affairs didn't typically make for exciting fights.

From what I've gathered, Wills-Firpo was something of a disappointment.

I personally don't find Tyson-Smith boring, however this shortened 20 minute version is more enjoyable to watch. (Only traces of clinches remain.)

Good choice, this fight was meant to be a quality match-up to test Lewis, but they both sadly fought tentatively with Lewis taking an easy UD.
To an extent I blame Tua for "training" like slob and coming in at 245lbs, (ridiculous for a 5"10 guy!) maybe if he'd came in at around 225lbs like he did against Rahman in 1998, we would have seen a better, tougher fight.
