    For me it's Holmes versus Ali. So sad looking at Ali in that fight

    Ruiz vs Golota. I genuinely prefer Wlad vs Povetkin to that.

    Any fights that involves a tragic ending such as career ending injury or death.

    Emile Griffith vs Benny Paret 3
    Ray Mancini vs Duk Koo Kim
    Gerald McClellan vs Nigel Benn
    Chris Eubank vs Michael Watson 2

    That’s exactly the fights I was going to list, plus Sugar Ramos-Davey Moore.

    There are literally dozens of fights that are so bad I wouldn't watch them again, Fury Wlad as an example but the one that left a scar was Johnny Owens vs Lupe Pintor. Owens fell like the life had just rushed out of him, and it had.

    Duran vs Leonard II and III and vs Hearns ,then Duran vs Moore,I can't stand seeing Duran get beaten and Moore looked like he could've been stopped even before the KD.
