    Ive probably seen worse but Lewis-Tua was garbage. Tua didnt know how to fight and Lewis didnt want to. Both guys talked a boatload of **** before that fight too. The only time in my life Ive ever agreed with Lewis was when he said "you need to bring more than a haircut to a fight with me."

    Barkley Vs Coetzee, for two name guys. Dreadful, with the two guys standing immobile, Coetzee throwing the right hand, Barkely throwing the hook, until Gerry fell over. Can't even find it on Youtube to prove my point.

    I mean, the worst fight I ever saw was one on ESPN between two fat, hairy no-hope heavies in which, in one round, one guy threw two punches and the other guy four (I swear to you I am not making that up).

    But for name guys, Barkley Vs Coetzee.

    "You need more than a left hook and a haircut to beat me. If you're going to fight Lennox Lewis, bring your arsenal, mate."

    Call me crazy, but I thought it was a fine display of boxing skill by Lennox.

    You just didn't understand the cerebral nature of the fight. Audley was going to rope-a-dope him by not throwing anything for the first three rounds. But Haye, as intellectual as they come, was one too many for him, and also refused to throw a punch for the first two-and-a-half.

    It completely threw Audley off, and by the time the first punch was thrown in the third round, he was open and susceptible, like the last girl at closing time after being fed strong whiskey and weak pick-ups lines.

    The most strategic, interesting, and just plain good fight I have ever seen in which less than ten punches were thrown.

    Fury vs Klitschko. The third round punch stats were actually 2 to 1. That's 2 punches landed for Fury to 1 single punch landed for Klitschko haha. That's as bad as it gets. Yet a lot of you are claiming Fury is the best heavyweight out there right now. The Fury vs Wallin fight was almost as bad. Yuck

    Hugo Corro vs Vito Antuofermo on June 30 1979 from Monte Carlo, Monaco. Hugo just turned his back on Vito and gave up.

    Fury / Klitschko was awful. Two fighters that can be very boring to watch, meshing at their catatonic worst :ohno:encama:

    I've tried to rewatch that fight a couple of times and each time, I cannot get through 2 rounds of it. And I remember watching the fight initially and saying to my buddies that Fury looked to be in "too" good of shape, meaning maybe he took something. Turned out I was right.
