I'm trying to build a list of the fights on British soil that stunk out the joint.
Frankie Gavin vs Young Mutley
Frankie Gavin vs Bradley Skeete
Joseph Parker vs Hughes Fury

Haskins, like Junior Witter and Gavin, has been involved in more than one (also Don Broadhurst was an awful fight for haskins)
for Witter: Judah, Gavin, and Corley all pretty terrible, from memory

Gavin McDonnell on the undercard of Frampton Quigg.
In fact Frampton Vs Quigg. That made me wish Gavin McDonnell was back on.

Froch v dirrell was absolutely dire. Khan v mcloskey was pretty boring.
Frampton v quigg was also awful.

Could create a list comprised solely of Johnny Nelson fights.

Skelton Sprott on (I think) the Khan Limond undercard. Absolutely dire.
Hughie Parker was tragic regarding recent fights.

Another vote for Haskins vs Broadhurst.
Both good boxers, but they didn't gel at all. I guess that's the way it goes sometimes.

That was horrible. Skelton v Williams I think also on itv also a total shitfest.

was Frampton - Quigg the most expensive and high-profile fight to merit a place on this thread? i guess so.

I'm also going to say it - because it seems to have gone in folklore as some kind of classic - but DeGale vs Groves 1 was a sparring session.
And I am saying DeGale vs Groves 1 because there will surely be DeGale vs Groves 2 at somepoint.

THat Cornish v Sexton fight is up there. Just the level of the two was embarrassing.
