    (1) A fight between a very good fighter and a highly ranked cannon fodder
    or
    (2) A fight between 2 good fighters

    Your current avatar isn't as provocative as usual, but that's not a bad thing in and of itself.

    Albert Sonsowski is another great example of highly ranked cannon fodder as well .

    I also doubt your seriousness. My question was serious.

    dont trust your doubt. your question bored me as your examples make your question not worth asking. so I thought past it. then I realized i would rather see two fighters like Albert Snosski vs Toney Thompson. IT be a great match up. or would then "edison Miranda ' be considered one of your " foddlers " . Miranda vs another fighter like him would be great to watch.

    Miranda crossed my mind but somehow didn't make it to the examples and I guess he still won't.
    Maybe in a year or 2 he will qualify to be a good enough example.
    And your suggestion could have been an interesting option but it is not displayed in the poll so you can't change to it , you can only choose one of the options that exist in the poll.

    thats the problem with one dimensional polls , there are not enough options. so


    A fight between a very good fighter and a highly ranked cannon fodder 0 0%
    A fight between 2 good fighters 14 95.00%
    I don't prefer any option that much 1 5 %

    No ..
    Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is a fight between 2 very good fighters which is not an option in the poll because it is too obvious it will be the best option 2 watch and therefore redundant question.
    if you want to use these examples then it is like :
    Pacquiao vs. Berto (who will be exposed as a mere highly ranked cannon fodder)
    or , say , Clottey vs. Martinez (a fight between 2 good fighters)

    or in its HW version :
    Vitali vs. Sonsowski / Wlad vs. Thompson (very good vs. cannon fodder) , or say , Sam Peter vs. Rahman (a fight between 2 good fighters)

    And McGrain , you can also consider the 40 years old Archie Moore whom Patterson fought to win the vacant title as a highly ranked cannon fodder.
    Yes , Moore is an ATG , yes , in his prime I wouldn't have made such a claim on him , but at that stage , he was , since his stoppage loss to Marciano the year before , he really didn't beat anyone that should count.
