    Mayweather vs Pacquiao, Spence vs Crawford, Canelo vs Golovkin III, Klitschko vs Povetkin, Brook vs Khan, the Tysons vs Holyfield...

    When we waited for a fight for more than three, it is always synonymous with disappointment.

    • Mayweather vs Pacquiao: typical Mayweather fight. nothing special so yeah i guess you can call this fight a disappointment
    • Spence vs Crawford: this was an awesome ass-beating
    • Canelo vs Golovkin III: no one wanted this 3rd fight. the 1st two weren't disappointing at all
    • Klitschko vs Povetkin: shitty fight, i'll give you this one
    • Brook vs Khan: fair play that this fight was 100 years too late but seeing khan get knocked out for the 200th time was sort of fun
    • Tyson vs Holyfield: these arent boring fights wtf lol

    the klichko povetkin was disappointment cos the Ukrainian was cheating and was allowed to get away with it a disgrace it should be a loss as disqualification terrible stuff and folk say he beat povetkin no he didnt it was terrible

    If you find big fights disappointing perhaps you simply aren't a fan of the sport.

    I don't think any of these fights were disappointments...............unless you're a casual who doesn't really like the sweet science. All of these fights were fairly entertaining. A disappointment is Chris Byrd vs. Davarryl Williamson, a disappointment is Andre Dirrell vs. Curtis Stevenson, Hopkins vs Jones II.

    Fight when guys are old = less. Because by mid 30s every boxer is more boxer than fighter. They no longer have that young abandonment or energy. They become more cerebral.
