    A lot of Thai fighters seem to enjoy mismatches.

    Pong Wongjongkam had a record of 67-3-1 and he fought three guys with a combined records of 0 wins and 2 losses in their career.

    Imagine if Vitali does something similar. We'd all be outraged!

    WLAD vs Austin.
    The IBF should be embarrassed for forcing that fight

    Roy Jones, Jr. vs. Vinny Pazienza back in the 90's. I believe there was a round where Paz didn't land a single punch.

    I'm out by a year, but the 2004 HW title fight between Danny Williams v Vitali Klitschko was pretty bad

    Vitali Klitschko vs Sam Peter was a mismatch I said as much from the beginning.

    The Klitschko vs Haye fight is also a gross mismatch.

    Morrade Hakkar running from Hopkins was classic comedy, especially the post fight interview, where Hopkins is called out by Merchant for taking such a joke of a mismatch in order to hold on to his meaningless Alphabet belt.

    Yeah, that was bad and almost embarrasing as a Pavlik fan. (Probs the same way Calz fans feel about the Manfredo deal)

    But there were a few people and one in particular (can't remember the posters name) who seemed to know quite a bit about Lockett when no one on Earth else seemed to, were calling for the big upset. I have to admit I was a little worried just because we didn't know jack **** about Lockett.

    Those can be the worst kinds. Example: Who the hell would have thought Presscot would KO 1 Khan? Little known, but atleast some had seen him: Bradley jumping up and taking down Witter.

    Chad Dawson vs Epifanio Mendoza was quite a mismatch.
    Wlad vs. Rahman lol
