    Disappointing performances don't necessarily have to end in defeat. I've saw my favourite boxers turn in awful showings, or be involved in terrible fights. What promised a lot and delivered a little? Here's a choice of my personal let-downs, but please include others as I'm sure everyone has their own.

    (I'm not including just plain awful performances where the guy in question was far too over-the-hill to compete, like Tyson against Lewis or RJJ v Tarver II and Johnson)

    Which do you think was the worst of mine?

    Calzaghe with Wlad a close second. Both guys were being seriously overrated before these fights. We were told they would do this and that, ATG etc and then they came out and fought like girls.

    This has to be Klitschko against Ibragimov for me. He has to turn in a good showing against Thompson tomorrow in my opinion.

    I voted for Wlad - Ibragimov, this fight shouldn't have gone more than four rounds.

    I don't get Trinidad in the De la Hoya superfight thing, he was the one pressing the action. De la Hoya was the disappointing one for me.

    Actaully Pac vs. JMM 2. I was shocked when Pac gassed in the 12th. This for me fueled the controversy just because JMM took that round.
    Never thought that would happen..coz Ive never seen it. Maybe its the weight cutting.

    Ibragimov is a very good counter puncher, so Klitschko was right to stay careful. Not every fight can be a brawl:roll: . If you like fights like these then you all should look old Tyson fights.

    Wladimir is a very good boxer and i hope he shows this tomorrow.

    Yep he needs to clarify that because in that fight one guys to fight the other came to run around the ring throw 10 punches per round and expected a W because he is was golden.....:yep

    I don't think Tito vs DLH should be mentioned. It was more of a clash of styles well at least in this fight since DLH decided to put his track shoes on and come in with flurries and ****. Tito pressed the fight, if DLH would have went toe to toe with Trinidad we would have gotten one of the best fights in recent 147lb history.

    Winky Wright's vs Hopkins....he gassed and bitched too much about the fouls.

    Hopkins and Calzaghes vs eachother.

    It was like he didn't even try in the 3rd fight with Tarver. Same with Barrera in the second Pac fight.

    Sam Peter's performance against McCline, there's alot of good reasons behind his poor performance, I was still disappointed by the end of the match.
