    Gatti-Mayweather

    I remember seeing close to even odds for betting on Mayweather.

    Gotta go with Frazier/Foreman.

    Tyson-Spinks was a mismatch, but honestly every time Tyson got in the ring there was a pretty good chance he would decapitate his opponent in the first round, regardless of how well they were fighting. Spinks got ****ed up, but I don't think it was as much of a mismatch as the blowout indicates - Spinks definately had the potential to at least last a few rounds (and that is impressive enough when you're facing Tyson), he just get caught and stopped early.

    Foreman-Frazier on the other hand, that fight was as one-sided as possible. Frazier had NO WAY to win that fight, as you could see from the SIX knockdowns. He was fighting his heart out, but he was in there with an animal. Best example of a TERRIBLE styles matchup that nobody saw coming :good

    B-Hop vs Trindad.

    Considering all the **** and hype about tito at the time, he was peak and KO'ing fools so bad. No one was talking about Hopkins at all, like he was some random guy/nobody. Was so much of a mismatch it was ridiculous.

    calzaghe vs lacy was very big as i remember, the fight kept on being cancelled or called off, they couldn't decide where to do it until finally lacy agreed to come down to the UK, it was massive.

    the fights that come to mind

    Lacy Vs Calzaghe ( Yes I picked Lacy :patsch:) and was left dumbstruck

    Bhop Vs Trinidad (bhop was supposed to be the bridesmade for this one)



    Everybody knew that Frazier Vs Foreman was going to be a mismatch....only they thought it would end up the other way around!! :deal

    No, I think PBF will be competitive for a few rounds before Hatton takes him out! :lol:

    Biggest one this year in terms of big PPV attraction. It's ridiculous that Floyd picks Hatton when he has a whole WW crop that is superior to Hatton.

    I dont really see this fight fitting into this category. The consensus seems to be that Hatton is a considerable underdog. ...Unless Pim C meant Hatton's going to win
