What was the most non-credible heavyweight title fight ever?

    Yeah you're spot on and that's the main problem. That's why any fight other than Haye v either Klitschko would always be a little disappointing.. Haye versus the world ranked number 45 or whatever is another level of disappointment though.

    I'm pretty sure Douglas was a top 10 ranked heavyweight at the time, he'd just come off some good wins over Berbick and McCall.

    People assumed Tyson would blow him away, but it was a fairly credible title fight.
