Have you seen de Leon vs. Nelson? Hopkins-Wright was bad but it's not even on the same planet as Nelson-deLeon.

It's the worst and I can't imagine how any fight could ever surpass it in sucking @ss.

Admittedly no, but was it a REAL title fight, deciding THE champ, or just more WBS?

Hopkins-Wright was the, "War of the Snore."

Well, it was for the WBC title but deLeon had been thrashed by Holyfield for the undisputed title two years earlier and only won back the vacant WBC strap when Holy moved to heavyweight.

Hopkins-Wright was of course also horrible but at least punches were thrown and landed. The only appropriate aspect of deLeon-Nelson was the decision.

Nelson v Warring wasn't too great either. Warring and DeLeon had to do virtually nothing to keep their belts against Nelson.

I thought Wright-Trinidad was most boring.

Not for the undisputed title but Wlad/Ibragimov is one of the dullest I can ever remember seeing.
