    Mayweather vs Ortiz

    Hopkins vs Pavlik (Regardless of that, Hopkins still deserves all the credit in the world for being in that position at 44 years of age)

    Adamek vs Vitali (One of the most difficult fights for me to watch)

    Dawson vs Ward

    Was going to add that to my list but removed it. I knew Martinez was going to outclass him but didn't expect it to be easy considering the cheater is cheating and over-sized so anything was possible.

    I don't agree with Hopkins vs Pavlik, that looked like a mismatch for the old man, also Dawson vs Ward looked pretty intriguing before the fight (how will Ward deal with a rangier southpaw?), Ward just showed his class that night.

    Adamek vs Vitali

    Chavez has never impressed me. Fair play, he knocked Martinez down in the 12th, but was still a one-sided bout.

    Harrison-Haye was high profile wasn't it? :lol:

    Hmmm no that was never a mismatch in the publics eye. If anything it was viewed as a mismatch the other way. Odds were great back then if you were backing Hopkins. I remember Hopkins even got all emotional in front of the press after he beat Pavlik. Everyone had counted him out.

    By the way I picked Hopkins in a schooling back then. Too bad I wasnt a gambler back then.

    Mayweather v Gatti is the one that stands out to me.

    Isn't it "where YOU can see the mismatch," as opposed to the general consensus?

    Geale/Mundine 2 for me. My first and probably last V-cash all in.

    Ward - Dawson

    Martinez - Chavez

    Haye - Harrison

    If it happens this year, I can see Wladimir Klitschko v Povetkin being another high profile mismatch

    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
