    For all the hype, De La Hoya-Trinidad was terrible. Derrick Gainer-Freddie Norwood has to be up there for me as well. For those that haven't seen it, here you go. Remember these are the highlights.

    Audley Harrison v Danny Williams comes to mind right away. Absolute snorefest.

    I actually enjoyed the first 9,10 rounds i thought Oscar boxed beautiful and put on a clinic.

    There have been so many..........Page-Tubbs (I laughed out loud the other day when I saw someone here in the youtube thread had it on his wish list), Ali-Young, Wlad-anybody........the one that really stands out though was Lewis-Phil Jackson back in probably '93. It was as if God was punishing me for being a boxing fan. It may or may not have been any worse than any of those others, but mabe it's because I had some friends over to watch it, and a couple of us (me included) actually dozed off.

    Haven't seen that one. Don't think I'll bother either. Anyway I'm changing my pick to Wlad v Iggy.

    Yes...Wlad/Iggy was one of the worst title fights I've ever seen. Povetkin/Sykes was a lower level fight that was bad enough that I would actually remember it. Which is pretty bad.

    "parry" :lol: Most of the time he wasn't really parrying an actual punch even. Barney Rubble would just have his damn hand out and Wlad would slap it down. ...I've never seen a major fight quite like it. ...Remarkable. Just remarkable.
