    THe Vitali Klitchko -Sam Peter fight is on the list, and that was a title fight so the Calzaghe - Lacy Fight should be included I guess.

    I was here on ESB at that time and it was about 60/40 PBF. With the ones who picked Gatti saying he was going to KO PBF because he was too big and strong.:lol: :rofl :lol: :rofl :lol: :rofl

    Well, yeah, but we already established that none of the ones on the list actually should be!

    From your list, I would consider only one being a mismatch - Mayweather v. Gatti

    Margarito-Cotto, Hatton-Mayweather, Barrera-Pacquiao (I'm guessing you mean their 2nd fight, but even then).

    Why on earth do you think any of these three were "mismatches"?

    Ridiculous.


    Of the ones you listed, Jones v Calzaghe was the biggest mismatch IMO, though Klitschko v Peter was the most one-sided fight on the night (we knew Jones was shot to **** before that fight, we didn't know how bad Peter would be).

    Gatti / Floyd was the worst mismatch I've ever seen. Even fights like Tyson/Spinks where it was a complete destruction, at least Spinks was an elite fighter and had proven himself and it could be argued that a rematch he could have possibly done A LITTLE better. But it was made real clear that Mayweather can fight 200 rounds with Gatti and never really be in danger.

    gomez vs cotto was sad! I've never watched such a mismatched fight! I'm really hoping that saturday's fight is closer than what everybody is saying.

    Floyd vs. Sharmba Mitchell. Not sure why HBO even aired that fight.
