    A lot of these picks are very insulting. If you really believe Ali's performance against Holmes or Jeffries' performance against Johnson was the 'worst performance in the ring you have ever seen?', then you have not watched enough boxing, to have a 'sound' opinion.

    True true. I think at the time it may have been considered an awful performance, however hindsight would suggest the odds where heavily against him.

    Truly awful is Bruce Seldon against Mike Tyson.

    When you are going to dive and run with the money, at least have a punch hit you first.

    I think Danny Green Vs Paul Briggs was worse. I'm pretty sure that lasted less than a minute.

    Madness. Tito would've annihilated a Joppy-level fighter that night, he was just up against a bigger, smarter, better fighter. At least Tito really went for it in about the 8th or 10th round, pressuring Hopkins and making him fight. That's a hell of a lot more than most of the disgraceful performances listed so far on this thread achieved.

    Harrison vs Williams 1, Audrey was a disgrace that night. The Haye joke was almost as bad but at least was over fairly quickly.

    Jorgen Hansen,,,,,,,,,,,tried to fight Jose 'Pipino' Cuevas for a round.

    His corner even threw in a 'yellow' towel.

    Both 'participants' of the DeLeon-Nelson title fight. Performances so bad that I still cringe at the memory.

    speaking of tito as we were, his performance against wright was mind numbingly bad. the hopkins one he gets a pass for because bhop was brilliant and TOOK AWAY his weapons. tito just didn't bother using them against wright, adopting the george chuvalo strategy of scoring points on the jab with your face
