    Out of the following random matchups, which would say is the biggest mismatch:

    Rocky Marciano vs Dariusz Michalczewski
    Carlos Monzon vs Fernando Vargas
    Michael Spinks vs Mikkel Kessler
    Ray Leonard vs Kostya Tszyu

    I laughed progressively harder with each one. Leonard-Tszyu.

    Leonard-Tszyu shouldn’t be sanctioned, and I love Kostya.

    No way this is real.
    Fritzie Zivic mauls him so bad Loma's fans will start to fill the stadium with tears even.

    Imagine such a scenario:lol:

    Loma: If I pivot around his guard, I can hit him with a 3 punch flurry and then angle away

    Loma: Moves outside Zivic's guard

    Zivic: Steps to the left, and hits him with a huge left handed swing below the belt, proceeding to alter his testicular chemistry

    Loma: Ends up on the ground, trying to find an angle where the pain is lessened and wins on a foul

    Loma fans: True Boxing royalty, is our lovely Lomachenko. Most skilled fighter in the game, Zivic could never have handled such slickness and resorted to fouling !

    Man... that's why I have such mixed views on dirty boxing,I don't really like it,but those who can employ that sneaky trick without getting caught are smart asses,plus..if the ref can't do nothing about it,if you fail to adapt the match is unfortunately all your fault.

    I had a friend who fought Michalczewski, told me that he was outrageously strong.

    A KO could happen at any time, either way.

    I like it when it's smart. Missing a shot and subtlety using your forearm to move your opponent's head into your next punch, hitting after letting go of a hold instead of simultaneously holding and hitting, moving away from a clinch prior to the ref telling you to break and hitting the guy right after, hitting low, or stepping on him when the ref can't see etc. It shows real ringcraft, and I always like seeing clever tricks like that. Just plain fouling with no subtlety is no fun.

    One of my favs were ducking below and smashing a knee into the opponent's leg.

    A lovely foul that is not usable anymore is hitting your opponent with the stitches of your glove in order to cut him. But gloves not being stitched anymore makes it impossible in today's game.

    That's a nasty one,but it makes the fight more brutal in the inside.
    That's why I kinda liked old school gloves more, it's smaller and you hit harder,plus you also hold better.

    And another I would like to mention,while not as dirty as the other,is an overhand right where you land it with your palm,behind the ear,that technically counts as two fouls but the judges does dismiss the technique,since then Thomas Hearns has abused this technique to oblivion.
