    Klitschko/Povetkin

    Canelo/Angulo

    Matthysse/Garcia (neither looked great in that fight)

    Bute/Pascal

    Mayweather/Ortiz (because of the ending with Mayweather throwing that sucker-punch)

    The most disappointing fight I've ever seen in a live-broadcast: Mares/Gonzalez. Mares was racking up outstanding wins and everyone had him somewhere in their p4p list at the time. Everyone thought Gonzalez was just a stay-busy fight, but it turned out to be a first round knock-out loss which sent Mares' career into a state of uncertainty.

    Spinks vs. Qawi was supposed to be a war, but it wasn't.

    Green vs Briggs was PPV and it lasted 19 seconds (29 if you include the 10 count).

    Green landed one punch. A left jab, and Briggs stayed down for the count.

    Garcia vs. Salka is already disappointing and it hasn't even happened yet. I will not bother to watch such crap..............

    I loved it, I bet that Gonzalez would win by KO, in spite of the fact that I like Mares more.:good

    Holyfield v Lewis 1,the second one was pretty poor as well to be honest. Hagler v Leonard(so obvious how it would go). All of Leonard`s fights after that were poor as well.
