Ruiz-Oquendo. The worst of the worst, and by "the worst" I mean Ruiz's fights. Fraudley VS The Brixton Bhiriani-gobbler was terrible until the 10th, after which it was passable. The worst fight of my favourite boxer (Lewis)? Lennox Lewis VS Dan Murphy. Murphy threw about 3 punches a round, and because of his chin/footwork he was just about impossible for Lewis to stop. The ref basically stopped it because he was bored of watching Lewis hit Murphy in the body followed by Murphy running away. The worst fight between usually entertaining boxers I've ever seen was Tito-DLH. The most consistently boring fighter I've ever seen is Jermain Taylor. I've never enjoyed one of his fights because of him; Wright-Taylor was passable because Winky pressed the action and threw punches for the both of them. Hopkins and Taylor disgraced the sport in their fights. When Corry Spinks is making the "fight", you know he's facing an outrageously boring boxer.
It would have been a good fight if it hadn't been for Hopkins adopting a punch/butt/grab/wrestle strategy. I think Winky did enough for the fight to only be a dirty and boring disappointment.
Zahir Raheem and Fraudley have got to be up there, no doubt. Ottke deserves honorable mention as well. Williamson vs Byrd was downright atrocious! In fact I think it's my new #1.
I know no one can link to full fights but can someone PM me or something a link for Johnny Nelson v Carlos de Leon. I HAVE to see it if it is as bad as you guys say.
I've tried finding clips of it before (I have trouble sleeping), but had no joy. If anybody ever taped it, they would've recorded over it or destroyed the tape just to be sure. It's possible that all footage of this fight has been destroyed, like they did with books in the Middle Ages in England. If you get a chance to see it, my advice is DON'T. I made the mistake back in 1990 and it will haunt me 'till the day I die.
A damn shame. I looked for any clips of it and could find nothing. It's too bad, I planned on watching it before the next Mayweather fight just to artificially amp up the excitement.:yep
That fight with Yuri Foreman and the other dreadlock black guy that is a fellow israelite...Forgot his name..that was the most eye poisoning experience. The commentators were cracking jokes the whole fight..
Stevens v Dirrell is tops, then i just watched the Ward v Judah fight the other day which was pretty lame. I like ward a lot but he threw very punches and landed basically none.
