    Which fights looked great on paper but was terrible to watch?
    Fights that spring to mind are Bradley vs Alexander, Canelo vs Mosely (Thought shane would put up more of a fight. Broner vs Ponce wernt a great fight either... any others?

    i didnt mind Shane vs Canelo i thought he put up a better fight than i thought he had left

    any way

    Donaire vs Nishioka, I really thought this guy Nishioka would come to fight especially after everybody said how much of credible opponent it was

    I thought Haye running around saying he would KO Valuev and then doing the exact opposite was pretty disappointing

    Cotto vs Margarito 2 let me down, i expected another war, didnt get one

    Nice shout. Cotto vs Margo had a lot of hype and thought with the history they had it would be another war.

    Khan vs barrera ended badly. Even though barrera was shot to **** i was hoping he would test the glass.

    On the other hand i think huck vs povetkin is an underrated fight

    Juan Diaz vs. Michael Katsidis. On paper, it looked like a FOTY candidate in the making. Turned out to be uneventful and utterly forgettable.

    Easy choice. Trinidad Vs. De La Hoya
    2 HOF fighters in their absolute prime
    could have been, Should have been but wasn't.

    Then they robbed Hoya to boot....

    Tim Bradley vs Manny Pacquiao.

    I expected a war on June 9th.

    I thought Calzaghe-Hopkins was a dreadful fight, I was happy Calzaghe won because I had a big bet on it but the fight itself was utter ****.

    Klitschko-Ibragimov deserves a mention. Thought Sultan had a chance.

    For me, it has to be:

    Martinez/Cintron - expected a war, got an awkward draw
    De La Hoya/Mayweather Jr. - expected Oscar to land more
    Bradley/Alexander - expected a war of skill, got a war of heads
    Klischko/Haye - expected Haye to actually fight
