Has there ever been a fight where you felt worried for one fighter's health before it even started?

    Ah, you mention the toe but ignore the Achilles. Very selective of you.

    An old, shot, slow and inactive Haye was winning rounds fighting with an injured Achilles which eventually ruptured - and punching with a patched-up right arm - in the first Bellew fight. But yeah make a toe pun and ignore all that.

    A prime Haye stops Bellew....

    I didn't like Michael Moorer's chances against David Tua. A very bad match-up even for a prime Moorer, let alone one who'd been knocked out by Holyfield and Foreman. The sickening way that Moorer slumped in the corner unconscious was hard to watch. Also remember Marvis Frazier being fed to a prime Mike Tyson. At least these fights were brief and there was no prolonged or extended beatings.

    Maidana vs. Morales

    That's why they "fight the fights," huh?

    Morales vs Pac 3
    Morales looked like he had been smoking meth for 66 days straight.

    Speaking of meth... Mike Alvarado in the third Rios match. Dude was twacked, not (even) from what I've heard but just random folk watching interviews were like, "is that what meth looks like?"

    I think Canelo may hurt Kovalev seriously in that fight. He is shorter but seems like Mike Tyson due to his neck and aura. I think that fight COULD be similar to Tyson vs. Frazier if Canelo doesn't hold back.

    Are you kidding me? Over 75% of fights made are complete mismatches.
