Most shameful world HW title fights.

Lennox Lewis vs Henry Akinwande.

Lennox Lewis vs Henry Akinwande.

There was a debate here (everyone against me) where I thought a fight like that should be ruled a TKO. It's every bit as much of a stoppage IMO as say Liston sitting on his stool, which was scored a TKO.

Haye Vs Harrison was dreadful

It's amazing that Harrison got paid.

If that had been horse racing, there'd have been a steward's enquiry.

[lazboy]

Tyson Fury never fought anyone with the last name Spinks.

If that was an attempt at humour I'm sure you can do a helluva lot better. Sweet Jesus I hope so.

It’s uncertain.

Floyd Patterson vs. Pete Rademacher
Joe Louis vs. Johnny Davis

Floyd Patterson vs. Pete Rademacher
Joe Louis vs. Johnny Davis

I think Rademacher was just "gimicky."

[margaret thatcher]

Man Raz Cojanu is just so f@cking shit and yet he fought for a title. I'll spare it most shameful since it was a really late notice replacment

[Tony1244]

Floyd Patterson vs. Pete Rademacher
Joe Louis vs. Johnny Davis

The later wasn't supposed to be a title fight.

And didn't Pete deck Floyd?

They were both title fights. And utterly disgraceful mismatches.

Yup.

And it was a mismatch.

Do me a favour, instead of reading about certain events, why don’t you instead actually watch the fight?

Seriously dudes, do fûckïng better! Be honest for once and express an opinion based on what you actually see!

Lol!

Ya, I mean, who wouldn't want the full story rather than just a cherrypicked part of it right

There’s a lot of pretentious historians boasting about possessing expert knowledge, but when you challenge them, they quote what they read and not what they see.

My rant might have been “funny”, but if you possessed real-world knowledge of the subject matter being discussed, then you’d probably agree with me (even if you wouldn’t publicly admit to it).

We don’t like each other, and that’s fine by me, but if you possessed knowledge and integrity, you’d surely realise that for this particular point, I’m absolutely 100% correct.

Drum-kit and cymbal noise.

I'm sorry. Did Pete knock Floyd down, or did I 'read' that wrong? LMFAO! No one said the fight wasn't a sham. Relax boyo. You go off the rails too easily.

Frans Botha Vs Axel Schulz

[candyslim]

Man Raz Cojanu is just so f@cking poo and yet he fought for a title. I'll spare it most shameful since it was a really late notice replacment

He's a strange one isn't he? I mean gets himself blasted out by Don Dennis, Luis Ortiz and Daniel Dubois suggesting he's a two round job for the better fighters (I don't include Dennis in that) yet he takes Ajagba into round 9 and goes the full distance with Nathan Gorman and a full 12 against no less a fighter than Joe Parker.

As I've said before - 'Will the real Razman Cojanu please stand up' ... or lie down, just make your bloody mind up

I agree with you.

I don't think crying and walking about between rounds is actually against the rules, is it?

LL got credit for a TKO against McCall, while he did not against Akinwande. One was crying and one was hugging, pretty arbitrary way of deciding.

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Oliver did one of those "best ive fought" at ring mag recently.

He said lennox hit him with the best shot hes ever been hit with and them he saw Lennox mother cheering which made him realize his mom never cared and he broke down. Like that shot from Lennox scrambled him and brought up childhood trauma...

Just thought it was interesting

Holding is a foul, crying isn't.
