    Louis-Conn II
    Barrera-Juarez II
    Pacquiao-Morales III
    Hopkins-Jones II
    Griffith-Tiger II
    Vazquez-Marquez IV
    Klitschko-Brewster II
    Rogan-Sexton II
    Toney-Peter II
    Nelson-Fenech III
    Malignaggi-N'Dou II

    Keep it going...

    I'm sure someone is bound to chime in at least semi-seriously with Ali-Frazier II or Gatti-Ward III, but that isn't really the sort of thing we're looking for here. It's not just downgrades from the previous installment in the series, but SEVERE downgrades, nearly opposite-end-of-the-spectrum type stuff that we're aiming at. In other words, don't just nominate rematches that are somewhat inferior in your opinion - only ones that constitute egregious falls from grace that pretty much everyone would agree upon.

    Leonard-Duran III, I didn't think it could be more of a disappointment then "no mas" but it was 20x the disappointment, Leonard dances around the ring for about 36 minutes and Duran couldn't get off; I remember like in the 10th round I think where Leonard actually has Duran in the corner and throws a eight punch flurry and yet MISSED every punch. The crowd started chanting "Bull****!!!!" after that.

    How can fights like Hopkins/Jones II or ESPECIALLY Nelson-Fenech III be considered disappointments? Doesn't that imply someone was actually expecting something out of them?

    :yep

    They were major downgrades from the previous installments...which, sadly, doesn't necessarily mean the previous installments were anything special...just that these were truly horrible.

    The second Marciano vs Walcott fight in 1953 where Marciano kod walcott in the first flurry of punches,in the first round...After the first barn burner fight in 1952, quite a let-down.....

    Starling/BrelandII

    Although far from a classic, the first fight was such a shock, the rematch had to be made.

    Sadly for us, Breland was only interested in surviving 12 rounds, and that suited the Magic Man just fine.

    I don't buy this, because of Archie's performance in that return. Granted, Durelle was adversely affected by circumstances outside the ring, but Moore came prepared for the Fisherman who gave him hell in 1958, and may have never looked faster, sharper or better than he did in this 1959 demonstration, a frightening thought considering Archie's age. This would have been a good time to dispense with Harold Johnson once and for all. As good as Harold was, I don't see him lasting the distance with the Mongoose who finished Durelle in three. Moore was a superb heavyweight, but he was obscenely resilient and effective when competing as a light heavyweight right to the end.

    Gatti vs Wars III was just as good as the original IMO

    Jorge Arce-Hussein Hussein II

    After the first fight, which is one of my favorites of all time, this was a MASSIVE letdown.
