Where tune up fights have gone wrong

Seconded.

 

The Zahir Raheem "tune up" went all wrong for Eric Morales.

 

Tommy Morrison-Micheal Bentt.

Big time.

 

Judah Baldomir spoilt Mayweather Judah as a spectacle.

 

Mark Johnson - Rafael Marquez, Lehlohonolo Ledwaba - Manny Pacquiao, Kelly "We're gonna knock his old ass off and fight the Jones-Calzaghe winner" Pavlik - Bernard Hopkins.

 

Edison Miranda Kelly Pavlik was meant to be the arrival of Miranda as Taylor's newest challenger...

 

Danny Williams and Albert Sosnowski... Williams was meant to have a rematch with John McDermott and the Pole came in and done a job on him

 

That wasn't nowhere near a tune-up.

 

He was supposed to fight Lewis. For...$4 million, I think it was. All ready to go.

I don't think Toney deciding to keep busy for his WBC title shot by choosing to fight Peter went all that well. It got him some praise, his fans predicted a wide wide schooling, and instead Toney's never been close to a title shot since though he's having one last attempt.

If Toney had fought Maskaev in '07 or '08, I'm sure he would've won.

 

He was supposed to fight Lewis. Darn, I was about to mention that one.

 

That's the best one I can think of. Judah vs Mayweather was going to be one of the biggest fights of 2006, then an unheralded Argentine journeyman with little KO power has him all over the place and beats him. No one expected it.

 

John Duddy vs Walid Smichet - Think Duddy lined up Pavlik and blew that chance! great slug fest mind you...

 

if you're going to bring up Albert Sosnowski you might as well bring up his loss to 23(0)-14-4 Zuri Lawrence!!!

 

The unknown Pac was supposed to be a Tune up for MAB right?

 

Not a tune-up but definetely Barrera was the favorite.
