    Getting common now. We get paper champions, then real champions facing 'ex champions'. Too many fighting the Bertos and Algieris of the world. But the mismatch can go further, Which is the worst of recent memory?

    Garcia vs Salka was the biggest mismatch in this survey.

    All the other fights were lottery picks that every fighter on the losing end gladly accepted. In fact every one of those guys, but Salka and Khan, status was lifted before and after their fights.
    Who the **** knew who Wade was before GGG?

    Although I don't understand how or why, the bookies are saying Brook-GGG isn't actually that much of a mismatch (1/6). In fact, it's one of his closest matches ever.

    Wade, for example, was like 1/30, or something.

    All of Wilders opponents that had a one week of training.
    Sconiers or others that nearly had him out on an 8 week camp?

    Why? They were both undefeated and both were favored by many I think.

    I don't think its a mismatch in the classic sense unless we're talking running a 5K. One guy just did not have the feet to chase and cut off the ring. If you wanna call that a mismatch, shrugs...

    Crawford Vs. Postol was no mismatch... F*cken TC is just a talent plain & simple.

    Let's put it this way... Crawford fought the biggest fight of his life as a fuggin' southpaw... as a "Southpaw".

    Let that sink in... and he made the #1 dude in the division his bytch.

    Postal may have won 2 rounds where niether fighter did much.
    Crawford was in full control, outboxed him, force him to come forward, and picked him apart.
    The fight was about as one sided as it gets.

    I think you should get a new hobby

    Anyone that would insinuate crawford was running is a moron.

    If I was an alt I'd ban anyone who called that masterpiece running.
    Same with Lara vs canelo

    Yup, exactly! TC is just a beast. And what I meant when I said I didnt think it was a mismatch was that I'm sure nobody though that Postol would lose the way he did. The rest of the poll clearly shows a heavy favorite vs a nobody. Mayweather/Berto? Please...
