    The Lewis v mccall second fight was a let down in some ways. In hindsight mccall should probably never have been near a ring. But I wanted the mccall of the first fight in there to answer questions about the Lewis ko. I wanted to see Lewis possibly come back again from been hurt as opposed to the quick finish of the first ft. Because I knew lennox had it in him. But because of the breakdown of Oliver it kind of tarnished the win so to speak. It wasn't the same mccall in there that day.

    Victor Ortiz deserves mention for the joke of a career post Mayweather and the way he lost that fight.

    Hell, I thought I was the only one who feels that way.

    I remember being super fired-up for the Michael Spinks-Dwight Muhammad Quai fight, it seemed to be a can't miss war, but ended up being a dud. And of course, the Great Cash Grab of 2015:lupie:

    Jose Luis Lopez' weird flame-out disappointed me. According to reports he preferred weed and surfing to training... which on the surface I can understand. However, he had the makings of a helluva fighter.

    First name that came to mind. Throw a motivated Maestrito into the late 90s welter mix with De La Hoya and Trinidad, as well as a rematch with Quartey, and watch the sparks fly. Campas listed Lopez as "Strongest", "Best Puncher", "Best Jab", "Best Skills" and "Best Overall" in his Ring Best I've Faced interview. I doubt Eamonn Loughran will be doing one of those any time soon, but I imagine if he did he'd be speaking very highly of Lopez.

    Speaking of Trinidad and De La Hoya, their fight was a huge letdown after all the build-up, and what on paper looked like another Leonard-Hearns.
