    Mayweather vs Pacquiao was definitely one of them lots of boxing fans thought that was going to be a great fight but i wasn't surprised by how the fight turn out to be.

    FLoyd/Pac was THE ONE.

    Floyd-Pac stands alone.

    Fury v Klitschko. I wasn't expecting much at the outset but damn that fight was bad.

    Frampton - Quigg also fits the description. It had some hype behind it but didn't pick up until later rounds.

    Wilder vs Nichols. Nichols should've got the tko win but corrupt ref ensured bronze burger boy won by tko in between round 1 and 2. Smh

    Cannot concur.

    Excepting the most loyal Pac fans, seems to me that very few who had been following the sport for more than 5 minutes had any illusions about how that fight was gonna' go.

    It did a disservice to the sport, imo.

    Klitscko vs David Haye for me personally. Both where heavyweight at their prime, had a huge knockout percentage, both men hated eachother and it turned out to be a tactical slow hugfest or in other words:

    A toetal letdown =/

    I figured out how the fight will turn out be so I didn't disappoint at all. Mayweather ran and hug and clinch all night so what could Pacquiao do to him?

    Pacquiao came to fight but Floyd didn't.
