    We always talk about some of the best fights, but we never talk about the worst fights. Some stinkers here:

    Luevano-Dib
    Taylor-C. Spinks
    Ruiz-Holyfield III
    Valuev-Ruiz I & II
    Briggs-Liakhovich (even adding the "dramatic" 12th round KO victory through the ropes doesn't save it from being here)

    Valuev VS Haye...it's a hard thing to watch an ATG unable to do half the stuff they did during their prime. His footwork, which is normally unbelievable, just wasn't that great by comparison. Etc. So the runner ended up narrowly and controversially winning. Terrible fight that made me cry through most of it.

    Duran-Leonard III- I fell into Durans talk about wanting this win so bad. He also said that he would say why he said no mas in the 2nd fight. As a knowledgeable(although still young) fan i actually believed all the hype, and i was overly excited for this one. Ended up being the most dissapointing and boring big fight ive ever seen. Leonard on his bike and Duran just pawing and not letting his hands go.

    Lewis - Akinwande. When was a fighter disqualified for unwillingness to fight in a world title fight? Not Lewis's fault at all, Akinwande was worse than KJ against Vitali.

    Come on. Bonecrusher was uninspiring that night, but doesn't belong anywhere near a list like this.

    I think it was really disappointing mainly due to the fact it was so anticipated. Smith had just bombed Witherspoon and at the time I think we were all looking forward with him meeting Tyson head on. It had the makings of a war but sadly it just didn't happen. High profile World heavyweight title fight as well.

    Ottke vs. anyone not named Mundine.
    Most Maske fights, the two with Rocky and Hill were fairly good though.

    Ruiz-Rachman was the worst fight Ive ever been cursed to witness.

    Amongst greats/former greats....Hopkins-Wright was pretty awful. Cant speak for Jones-Hopkins II, cause I havent seen it. And have no intention of ever seeing it.

    Recently Vitali/Johnson, Froch/Dirrell and Hopkins/Calzaghe.

    Someone already mentioned Lewis/Akinwande but that was pretty awful.
