    A couple of years ago I saw Carlos Ortiz vs, Joe Brown on You Tube. I think I needed a few cups of coffee to finish it.

    This is always the fight I first think of. Nelson fights could easily dominate this thread.

    Henry Akinwande v Lennox Lewis

    No words from me can describe how mind numbingly dull their wrestling match was.
    Oh, I've actually just described it.
    It was mind numbingly dull.

    Flo, I'm sure you meant Andre Dirrell v Curtis Stevens. I read that Harold Lederman called it the worst fight he's ever seen. WOW!

    If I was mentioning any fights, the first 2 to come to mind was Evender Holyfield v Fres Oquendo and Robin Reid v Sugar Boy Malinga. Two fights that I couldn't finish. I don't recall if I even made it halfway they were so bad. I would also add in any fights involving John Ruiz or Hugo Corro.
