Overrated performances...

Griffin no longer had Futch in his corner as well, among some misc out of the ring issues I believe with his team.

 

Froch vs Abraham:

Froch punches a punch bag with an appalling work rate for 12 rounds, and apparently produces a boxing clinic that laid the blue print for Ward to beat Abraham.

I no I'm probably gonna get slated on here, but Dirrell's performance against Froch was very very overrated. Loads on here thought he was outright robbed by the judges, when in reality he did laps for 12 rounds and it was a very close fight which could have gone either way.

 

Add Mosley vs Margarito. Jin Mosley would've beaten Margarito that night, for obvious reasons.

 

Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Jose Luis Castillo II

Mayweather fans seem to think this was one of the great performances where a great fighter emphatically beat down a guy that he'd had trouble with in a previous fight, much like the executions produced by Roberto Duran (2nd & 3rd fights with Esteban deJesus) or Pernell Whitaker (2nd fight with Jose Luis Ramirez).

In reality, Floyd realized after the 1st fight that he couldn't outfight Castillo, so basically spent 12 rounds with the crowd booing his tactics, which consisted of jogging backwards and flicking out jabs, trying to avoid engaging as much as possible and run the clock down in the process. I had it to Floyd by 4 points, simply because there were too many rounds where Castillo couldn't catch him, but it was a hugely disappointing, underwhelming and unimpressive peformance from Mayweather on a night that was set up for him to shine and prove his greatness.

 

Yeah .... I mean Mosley's speed and power advantage and Margarito using his head to block punches had nothing to do with it. Margarito lost because of the gap in skill between the two fighters.

 

To be fair, most boxing fans judge this win correctly. Mayweather was a heavy favourite going into the fight and did his reputation justice but honestly, FMJ - Gatti is one of the most humiliating, one-sided beat-downs in boxing history. Mayweather looks ridiculously bad-ass in annihilating Gatti it actually turned me into a fan.

Didn't FMJ break virtually all CompuBox records that night?

 

I disagree, after his fight with kessler everyone said Froch was so flawed and open to punches that would turn his lights out, and based on abrahams power he would eventually catch him with how froch fought and win the fight, sure he got beat by direll but he is really fast and in the end abraham was taking the fight to direll, him ko'ing the flawed froch was a very certain possibility, the odds were pretty even as well.
But instead of that happening froch schooled him for 12 rounds and showed he is very much capable of operating on top level and isnt the caveman people made him out to be beforehand.

 

bla bla bla Sergio beat Pavliks ass lol

 

I nominate lewis vs mccall 2
