Page v Tubbs wasen't a good fight, but it was exciting compared to Tyson v Bonecrusher. Haven't seen it in awhile, but I seem to remember a bit of tauting, headshaking ("no you didn't hurt me") and subtle crotch grabbing from both fighters.

If you thought that was awful try and watch all 8 rounds of Lewis vs Tyson, one has to admire Tyson for not loosing it as all that hugging would of made any fighter snap.

You know, Holmes vs. Cobb was one-sided as hell, but I didn't think that it was particularly boring or what I would consider a "worst" championship fight. I mean if you like a little carnage, then Holmes vs. Cobb wasn't that bad at all.

Tommy Morrison vs. a pulled out of the crowd Tim Tomashek wasnt a fight that was gonna make anyone forget The Thrilla in Manilla any time soon.

Most overrated stinkfest eva! Hakkar only ran for the first round.

Hmmm, not sure I could sit through it again to see if Hakkar actually fought back at any stage. As i recall he seemed shit scared, maybe not as terrified as Bruce the Goose and that clown LaRocca but I don't think he went out and tried to win the title did he?

I quite enjoyed all these fights to be honest.

Same old shit from Razor, we're suppose to castigate Lewis for his dirty tactics vrs Bruno or Grant or whoever it is this time, but applaud Tyson when he doesn't start biting chunks out of people's ears when he gets tied up inside. Lennox made the size and strength difference tell wasn't pretty but I don't see how that would have given Tyson an excuse to "snap". It's like saying Chavez should be admired for not snapping vrs Whittaker because he wouldn't stand and trade. Seriously mate try and see past your own prejudices or whats the point of commenting at all.

Seriously, Cobb really did try. He just wasn't good enough to be in the same ring with Holmes. "Worst" to me implies two guys getting in the ring and just kind of mutually agreeing to stink up the joint.

Witherspoon - Tubbs gets my vote, & Razor beat me to it.
How about Joe Hipp & Bruce Seldon?

Ali v Young boring ???
Leonard V Duran III. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and it only became a totally meaningless fight when Duran failed to avenge No Mas.
