    Evidently I'm in the minority I found Wlad Povetkin bizarrely entertaining, don't know why

    Wrasslin is far more entertaining that Wlad matches, I liked how brazen almost Hopkins like Wlad was with his dirty tactics, if you watch with a wry smile its far more entertaining, it wasn't Wlad's fault Povetkin didn't adjust and try a different tactic, he just kept doing the same thing over and over.

    Serious? You haven't seen fights that lasted no time at all and it appeared like one of the guys took a dive. Try Danny Green vs Paul Briggs for size. The 10 count lasted longer than the fight itself.

    Wlad vs povetkin is possibly the worst match i've seen. Most recently rios vs chaves was pretty tough to watch.

    There was nothing redeeming about Green vs Briggs :-(

    Garcia vs Salka is one of the worst in a long time.

    Audley vs Haye was over quick as well, but it still was one of the worst HW titlefights ever.

    Aud vs Haye one was sure a stinker.

    But whilst on heavyweights, what about Herbie Hide vs Damon Reed back in 1998, and remember that was for the WBO title. It lasted less than a minute!

    You could go back a few years and take your pick of John Ruiz or Chris Byrd vs most people.
