    Pacquiao vs Algeiri?
    Garcia vs Salka was also pretty bad…

    Tyson-Douglas was perceived as the biggest mismatch.

    I liked Ron Standers wife Darlenes comment about her husbands bout against Joe Frazier being a mismatch
    "You don't take a Volkswagen into the Indy 500, unless you know of a hell of a shortcut"

    where to even begin? i’m glad you recognised that mismatches also happened back in the day, despite some older posters pretending every title fight from the 70s and 80s was Hagler-Hearns
