    ...of being very competitive, but turned out to be complete mismatches.

    I was thinking about Ali-Liston I but I'm not sure that was expected to be competative, more a one-sided beating in Liston's favour.

    heavyweight bouts have a long history of this, because of hard punchers.

    Holyfield vs Douglas

    Vitali vs Hide

    Foreman vs Frazier I & II (edit: already called upon I see)

    A lot of people actually tought it would be a hatton early ko or a close fight that at best for pac could have a similair ending like the diaz fight(which is what I thought as well a late pac tko, the ko was a schock,( especially how he knocked him out)

    No way man. Pac was just the worst style for Hatton. Also Hattons chin was pretty shitty. I remember Malignaggi stunning him the few times he landed flush on Hatton. That was a bad sign.

    Anyone remember the betting odds for this?
