Hmmm.... just from what i remember id probably go with JMM vs Gainer, i know there have been other bad ones but thats just what is sticking with me at the moment
Chris Byrd vs. Fres Oquendo Wlad vs. Iggy Almost any fight with Johnny Nelson in it Ali vs. Wepner (not in the sense of being dull, but just incredibly ugly and unwatchable; Wepner was totally overmatched and the fight was only going on because Ali was lazy and out of shape) Witherspoon vs. Page Tucker vs. Douglas Audley Harrison vs. Julius Francis (This one is actually WORSE than Harrison vs. Williams, because it has only one round of notable action) Junior Witter vs. Zab Judah (Witter has been in a lot of stinkers) Larry Holmes vs. Lucien Rodriguez Ali vs. Jean-Pierre Coopman is about as dull as a KO in 5 rounds can possibly be (same issues as the Wepner fight, except Coopman was even more overmatched) Ali vs. Jimmy Young (Young managed to put in perhaps the least crowd-friendly 'attempt' at the linear heavyweight crown in boxing history)
Yep, Sprott was awful that night. Skelton, to his credit, tried to make a fight out of it, but Skelton is also a rather overweight British heavyweight in his 40s, so it was never going to be Hagler-Hearns.
I had the displeasure of watching Chuck Wepner vs Randy Nuemann at MSG. horrible heavyweight fights between 2 slow heavy's that could not crack an egg...Wepner was a nice guy and a good personality but could not fight a lick, he could take a licking and keep on ticking but would cut with a raindrop
Hamed vs Soto, aside from the suplex/back breaker lol Hamed vs Calvo Barrera vs Peden John Ruiz - Valuev ODLH - Forbes Williams vs Sprott III Sinan sam vs Julius Francis Some of the shockers that the Eurosport commentator has had to sit thru lol
Ramirez-Whitaker 1,2 (especially 1) Spinks-Holmes 1,2 Holmes-Cooney Spinks-Cooney Charles-Louis And there are less surprising but a little better : McCline-Whitaker The rest I watched only 1 time and are less popular and discussed , so I forgot , but in general Hopkins fights are bad to watch , although not as bad as the above in terms of suffering of the watcher.
This piece of **** has turned the sport of boxing (already a marginal sport) into a joke in Australia. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=salvjc2Y6gc[/ame] I don't care what anyone says this is hands down the worst fight ever.
Hasim Rahman-James Toney I - This fight cemented the fact that Rahman is one of the all-time worst champions (now sporting a 0-2-1 in title defenses after losing to Oleg) and Toney's all too familiar to "blowing hot and cold" (in this case cold). This fight sucks. Total clinch-fest, no good punches landed at all. I swear Toney spends more time beating on Rahman's kidney in a clinch. Worst part, it ends in a draw. This fight was free on one of the free Showtime weekends. They tried to do boxing fans a service and they ended up serving true crap. One of the worst title fights I've ever seen.
Byrd-Williamson or Ruiz-Oquendo I've avoided Nelson-De Leon though. I'll throw a shout out to Dirrell-Stevens. And just this year, Hopkins-Jones II was absolutely horrific. I think it's sort of flown under the radar in terms of bad fights since people had such low expectations of the fight coming into it. But it was just terrible. Lots of wrestling, acting, holding, faking low blows, elbows, pretty much every other dirty trick in the book, but very little by way of actual throwing punches.
