    Yes this. I fell asleep watching it and nearly missed the AJ v Povetkin fight.

    Haney v Shakur would be absolutely harrowing to watch the build up to the fight would be a pure cringe fest as well.

    At least 10 of Andrade's fights have been pure dumpster fires.

    Anything with Chris Colbert.

    I don't want to hear anybody complain about Shakur Stevenson until they A-B his fights with Colbert's.

    It could accurately be described as one man running from another trying to hug him, and in the midst of this they occasionally lightly punch each other in what could be considered the worst game of tag ever.

    Y'all gotta checkout Hugo Corro vs Ronnie Harris for the WBA and WBC Middleweight titles back in '78.

    One commentator was said to have scored the 15 rounder it 11-8.

    Asked how he managed to score it 11-8, he said that's how many punches they threw.

    Lewis Vs McCall
    although this should probably be in it's own category. If both boxers are supposed to be up for it then Klitschko Vs Haye was a real bore. Wlad had a lot of boring fights, although that's not a knock against him really. A lot of his opponents including the aforementioned talked the talk but didn't walk the walk.

    Lewis akinwande is right up there with okolie chamberlain and mayweather McGregor is brutal, I think I have to go with mayweather v McGregor was hideous from the concept, the promo and the fight was even worse

    Stevenson vs DLS has to be the top. They broke the lowest output in a boxing match. It was a game of tag. They chased each other and once in awhile someone would get tag and then the other guy would chase till he got a tag. Not a punch was thrown.

    The rematch between Hopkins and Jones is easily and by far the absolute worst “fight” I’ve ever seen.
