Nothing else mentioned is in the running, nine minutes short and that isn't even delving into the actual fight taking Boxing off of a network.

Haskins v Broadhurst or was it Bell v Haskins? Or where they both wank?

I seem to remember the next fight for that title was Witherspoon v Tubbs and that wasn't much better...or am I getting confused?

Your memory doesn't fail you, but that was still better than Tubbs/Page- everything was.

Whilst I fully respect you guy's opinions, and I have seen Tubbs - Page, can I ask if any of you have seen DeLeon - Nelson?

Tubbs-Page was a decent fight the first 4 rounds or so. That automatically makes it better than several others.
I can't think of a worse fight than Klitschko-Ibragimov. Was there live, and the Ukranians sitting next to me hated Wladimir by the final bell. Tried to watch a replay on TV and was even worse than I remembered.
I remember Ruiz-Oquendo being one of the worst fights I'd ever seen . . but the fact that it didn't go a full 12 miserable rounds probably disqualifies it (the ref was so bored he pretty much stopped it after Oquendo got hurt . . as if to say "I don't care if this is premature, I have an excuse to end this and I'm ending it!

")
I haven't seen DeLeon-Nelson, but I hear it's legendarily bad.
Hopkins-Wright is not even close to being one of the worst. An ugly fight but scrappy and entertaining in parts.

Haye-Valuev is one of the worst I've seen.

Yeah, you're not lying- it was terrible,but it was only 12 rounds. Tubbs & Page bumped breasts for 45 gruelingly horrible minutes without an ounce an action.

Lennox Lewis vs Henry Akiwande and John Ruiz vs Fres Oquendo were pure garbage and boring as hell.

Ruiz v Golota was pretty awful, except for a few good exchanges. And despite being an aging screwball at this point in his career, I still had Golota winning by 2.

I just watched that fight again recently. Compared to recent HW title fights like Klitschko-Ibragimov and Ruiz-Oquendo it's a frikkin' barnburner.
Ruiz-Golota was an awful fight but at least Norman Stone provided some entertaining respite from the fight itself.

See, you caught yourself out in a lie.
If you re-watch that fight you get sucked into a black hole, come out the other end in an infinite vortex of zero-anti-gravity-anti-matter-radioactive-cyber-poop… You can never get out of

I thought that Lewis vs Tyson was very boring when I first watched it... I find it even more boring now that I've watched it recently... That fight should have never been made, complete mismatch at that time.

X2 That was terrible. Pitta-pat it over doing it. The was a 'pit' and a perhaps 'pitta' at most.
I enjoyed Hopkins/Wright and Lewis/Tua
