    Some people mistake technical battles for being boring, but some fights really are boring, or awful to watch for other reasons. What are some of the worst fights you've seen?

    Hopkins-Jones II

    A fight that really amplified my hate for Hopkins, with all his over dramatic actions after being fouled. I honestly
    don't recall more than three punches being landed by either guy in this fight.
    Wlad-Haye

    This might be the first time I ever went into a fight liking a guy, and came out hating him. David Haye. You ****ing coward. **** you. Looked like he wasn't even trying to win.

    Lomachenko-Salido
    Saldio deserved to win, but in all actuality, neither guy deserved to win. Terrible fight. Boring AND ugly.

    Pacquiao-Marqez III
    This might surprise some, but yes, I hate this fight. Pacquiao looked timid, Marqquez looked like he was avoiding being knocked down at all costs.

    De La Hoya-Trinidad
    Because of the controversy, this fight is talked about a lot, but a lot of people forget how much of a stinker it was. I tried to re watch a few months ago, and was bored to tears. ​

    How so?

    Kessler couldn't land to save his nutsack, but other than that, please don't tell me that the mutual holding when Ward lunged forward inside alone ruined that performance for you?

    All Pacquiao-Marquez fights were epic. excluding the robbery in the third one. You rarely see boxing like that when two styles match up so well and give such entertainment with an exhibition of their skills.

    Klitschko-Ibrigamov ranks up there. Also Holyfield-Ruiz fight where Ruiz knocked Holyfield down, maybe the second one. The knockdown woke me up. It's actually the only fight I ever fell asleep during except when I had back surgery and fell asleep during Morales-Barrera 2, lol.
