The Most Pointless Heavyweight Championship Fights

Jack Johnson v Tony Ross
Jack Dempsey v Billy Miske
Joe Louis v Al McCoy
Joe Louis Tony Musto

 

jack johnson v andre spoul
tommy burns v jem roache (even though it was here in ireland....bringing a world heavyweight title fight here)

 

Of Pepe's list, I would only question the Zyglewicz-Frazier and Foreman-Roman fights as completely pointless. Zyglewicz, if nothing else, was a tough guy with a pretty solid punch and was believed to be able to take a punch before Frazier coldcocked him. Roman, whom I have actually seen fight previous to the Foreman fight, was much better than he looked against Foreman and had some defensive skills and veteran caginess not unlike Peralta. It was testimony to how far both Frazier and Foreman developed that they blew these guys away so easily.

The Frank-Holmes fight was interesting only because virtually no one knew anything about Frank and he was a live underdog just because he was such an unknown quantity at the time. Unless you were in New Jersey and hung around the ice rink where he had most of his fights, that is.

 

Any fight today where one of the guys first names isn't Wlad.
