    Paul Williams vs. Santos Pakau disgusted me.

    His record was like what, 2-3?!

    Wasn't he hit with something like 80 punches one round?

    I disagree with this one being on there. Everyone knew that Floyd would win, but it's not one of the worst matchmaking mismatches ever. Gatti basically fought one of the dumbest fights imaginable to make it such a massacre, it should have been more competitive than it was.

    My mind was on what his last 5 fights looked at, but thanks Cash, I thought his record was worse than that.

    I just remember thinking hes getting crushed in New Zealand, and hes this small being brought into face THE welterweight prospect. MASSACRE. Pakau got punished, badly.

    Calzaghe-Manfredo is a obvious one how does a average 154 pounder get a title shot at 168 ?

    Was De la Hoya-Charpentier on HBO? As far as I remember, Charpentier landed an amazing total of 5 punches in 3 rounds.
