The worst heavyweight title fight ever

iggy waldo

 

Ruiz/Oquendo

 

Tyson-Bonecrusher Smith. Should be known as The Happy Feet Hour. Tyson would stalk Smith, Smith would skip out of distance until the last second of the last round then he threw a punch with bad intentions that missed Tyson and ding-ding fight over.

I remember many Larry Holmes fights that seemed like Larry and his opponents had made agreements to not hurt each other.

 

this is number one BY FAR

 

Byrd Williamson was horrible. But I also fell asleep watching Lewis Holyfield II.

 

There was never a ruled knockdown in that fight, I know the time you were thinking about though.

My pick is for Wlad/Iggy, the fact that is was the first unification fight in nearly 10 years, I think made it even worse IMO. Just a terrible night of boxing.

 

Ruiz-Oquendo was awful. The referee had to tell them to start punching for christ sakes! :roflatsch

I remember the crowd booing so bad that when Ruiz landed a combination and the referee stopped the fight out of pure mercy. I have never seen so much clinching, holding, grabbing, wrestling as I did in that fight. Byrd-Williamson was bad too.

 

good lord man

Briggs-Liahkhovich
Byrd-Williamson
Ruiz-Oquendo
Ruiz-Rahman
Valuev-Holyfield

were all way worse than Klitschko-Ibragimov. There are a few more Ruiz fights I am forgetting also.

 

Any Valuev fight, it's insulting to consider them title fights too. What a joke the HW division has become when a circus show that doesn't even know how to fight beats guys with the need of obvious robberies.

 

Briggs/Liakhovich- not that bad of a fight, good counter puching from Briggs and I would somewhat agree it was on Wlad/Iggy level if it wasn't for the dramatic knockout at the end when Briggs sent Sergei threw the ropes with seconds left in the 12th.

Bryd-Wiiliamson- sucked dick, but still not as an important fight as was Iggy/Wlad.

Ruiz/Oquendo- Was a hug fest, and was overall lame. Thats tied with Wlad/Iggy.

Ruiz/Rahman- I seen it in the summer of 03, I actually didn't mind the fight itself.

Vauev/holyfield- It wasn't that bad, Holyfield put on a decent performance for his age.

 

Ruiz-Valuev II

 

I agree.....that one should have been shown repeatedly to the terrorist at Guantanamo as a form of torture.

 

:rofl

 

Dude, Shannon Briggs and Ibragimov.

Wlad vs Iggy was bad, but no where, NO WHERE near as bad as Briggs v Ibragimov.

..and Ruiz had quite a few horrible fights.. quite a few..

 

Byrd-Williamson or Ruiz-Oquendo. Both are in my top 3 for worst fights of all time.
