Name me some hyped up fights that ended up duds

Good post, I agree with that.

 

Haye vs Klitschko and Fury vs Klitschko were boring for casuals who expected a war and a KO after Haye and Fury both talked A LOT of **** before the fight and both of them were bragging about knocking out Klitschko.

I think for a boxing purist those fights weren't as "boring" as some people made them to be. Haye vs Klitschko was a good performance by Klitschko who neutralized the quick explosive Haye. Boring for casuals but this is elite level boxing. And in Klitschko vs Fury it was Fury who neutralized Klitschko and feinted his way to victory. Both fights were good demonstrations of specific boxing skills at high level.

For me a boring fight is something like Chavez Jr. vs Canelo when one guy clearly doesn't belong in there. Klitschko vs Fury/Haye provided good material to study for scientific purposes. I watched both of those fights twice. I'll definitely never ever watch Canelo vs Chavez Jr. again.

 

Devon Alexander vs Timothy Bradley

 

I guess I could look on youtube, but was the internet invented yet, back when all these fights happened?

 

yep good answer

 

i cant really get into GGG.
i really want to
but his fights bore me.

and george groves, but badou jack lit the bi*ch up good

 

yes the internet was invented r u serious?

 

It was a rhetorical question

 

That was such a lesson in boxing from Lewis. I was going for Tua but I knew Lewis would outbox him. I just didn't expect Lewis to win all the rounds. Super dud fight.

 

Well, we just had one of the worst fights in history, El Pollo/Chavez, Jr., what a disgrace, glad I did not buy it.........

 

Klitschko vs. Haye 100%

Rigondeaux vs. Donaire
Pacquiao vs. Marquez III
Mayweather vs. Maidana II

 

Yes we know you hate canelo...

 

I hate the way El Pollo gets all the advantages in his fights................Oscar owns the judges, referees, boxing commission, etc., that's what I don't like about him and now he gets every advantage in the contract, Texas, judges, referee, crowd, ring, etc., at first I was a fan of his, now I would like to see him earn his fights.............El Pollo's judges will score every round for him, even if he gets knocked down, watch and see..........rematch clause, Golovkin no rematch clause, money, everything............https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/golovkin-canelo-the-super/75144 Even the LA Times has complained, and that's pretty bad! Golovkin will have to get a knockout to win, no way can he get a decision in Texas.................I hate cheating.............hate fixed fights, crooked judges, referees, boxing commissions, etc. Had hope for Oscar when he became a promoter, but he is just as bad as Don King and the rest..............will Oscar buy a new dress for the fixed fight? Golovkin should know he will have to go for the knockout from the inception, will he be prepared for Lawrence Cole? Hope the fight will be on the level..........hope Golovkin can't be bought off..................the judges already are, the ref, the commish, I hate it when I buy a PPV fight at $70 and see a rigged fight like Kovalev/SOB..............

 

Jeff Lacey vs Joe Calzaghe


the match-up was over-hyped because apparently Lacey was over-hyped

 

Whenever Mayweather 'fought', the only thing that left with a black eye was the sport of boxing.
