    Hmmmm i think for me

    Haye vs Wlad and Hatton vs Pacquiao are two main contenders. Different reasons but I will go with Haye because for 3 years he spoke and talked about fellow professional's calling them bums and chumps then proceeds to do not much better then them. His gameplan was poor and his excuse even worse.

    With Hatton people forget two fights prior he was hurt badly by Lazcano. He attacked and had so much **** to deal with in hours leading to fight. Remember on day of fight the news breaking that there was arguments in camp between Mayweather and Beard being boss. The camp was in disarray and Hatton fought a utterly stupid fight but i never expected a great deal from him really. People felt he was a new born boxer cos he beat Paulie M.

    It wasn't the fact Hatton lost it was the way he lost that was a shock. I didn't expect PAC to annihilate his so quickly.

    I always had a feeling the Haye fight would go to points and Haye would be defeated. I also expected him to be cagey and run around because he is so wary of a Heavy weight punch.

    It saying that Haye was more pathetic than anything else in the end. He deserves to be ridiculed...........Hatton doesn't he gave it a real go even if it was a headless chicken effort.

    To be fair to Hatton, he did go out on his sword in both fights. He went out swinging, though I suppose one could question whether he could have gone the distance in either fight anyway.

    Ricky was fighting the best fighters in the world,I cant see how any one can think he was disappointing tbh when he was clearly nowhere near as good as the two guys who beat him.
    Naz was hugely disappointing because it was the biggest fight of his life and he just didnt seem interested beforehand or during the fight.

    Haye I fully expected to lose but I thought he would be different to Ibragimov,Chagaev,Chambers and not be in survival mode for 9 rounds out the 12.At least they had an excuse that they didnt punch very hard and they didnt bang on for three years about how **** Wladimir was and everyone he faced was a fat useless bum.After all that talk he must surely feel like an idiot but the £10m im sure will make him sleep tonight.

    Naz.
    I'm giving Haye stick but he done as expected. His game plan was not to win rounds but occasionally land his best punch on Wlad and hope he went out cold. I think he did that but alas Wlad didn't play ball

    Of course the Haye farce. Don't see how it can even be debated.

    Hatton - Mayweather - Hatton had some good moments but it was a good fight
    Hatton - Pacquiao - Hatton was just dominated, still entertaining
    Hamed - Barrera - How could you not love this fight?
    Haye - Klitschko - Dude was just scared

    Im suprised Calzaghe - Hopkins wasnt mentioned

    Your expectations must have been too high.
    Didn't you learn from the Valuev and Harrison fight about believing anything he says?

    I cannot believe we have a poll like this and it doesn't include Lockett v Pavlick.

    Haye. Pathetic, especially considering his talk beforehand.

    The other 3 also lost against better opposition.

    Has to be Naz vs Barerra. at least the others trained. Haye & Hatton would never win those fights if they fought 100 times. Naz had the ability to beat MAB.
