    I've been on ESB since 2004, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone write that here.

    Audley Harrison Vs Danny Williams I
    Junior Witter Vs Tim Bradley

    both were **** fights, the highlight being the one KD

    I hate Witter anyway, but promised never to watch Bradley ever again

    I confess I never saw this fight, but I recall it as getting the worst write-up I've read. It was in Boxing News in maybe late 1995. I speak of the long-anticipated Terry Norris - Paul Vaden clash.

    The only noteworthy thing about that fight was that it was aired in prime time in the U.S. by FOX. Don King and FOX attempted to bring boxing back to U.S. prime time on regular network TV. I think Tyson v. Buster Mathis, Jr. was another fight in that series. Needless to say, this experiment failed and I think it is the last time boxing was on regular network TV in the U.S. in prime time.

    Taylor-spinks was a terrible fight to watch. Spinks a skilled but boring fihgter would not engage at all and made the fight messy with little punches being landed.Taylor was content to just pile up points and not force spinks to fight. I originaly watched this fight becuase i heard people talk about how bad the fight was, and i wanted to see if it was as terrible as they said it was. Another boring one was James Toney-Dave Tiberi where Tiberi just bascially outworked Toney but didnt land really any shots of significance. Toney would lay on the ropes for large parts of the fight and not throw anything back. When he did open up he would score cleanly and do some damage but those flurries of his were few and far between.

    John Ruiz - Hasim Rahman was quite possibly the dullest fight I've ever seen. The only reason I watched it in the first place was because I was in Korea, had nothing else to do, and it was free on Armed Forces Network. I actually fell asleep during that fight and missed some of the middle rounds. I say 'missed', but I didn't really 'miss' anything at all.
