This one immediately came to my mind as well.
The good old days of joke artists appearing in the WBO rankings for one cycle just so Scott Harrison, Enzo and Joe could get another easy defence in.

salita has done pretty well as a promoter, at least compared to the other pugs who gave it a shot. i wonder if those jewish hats (yamaka?) give them extra brain power

Yeah Herbie Hide had some shocking and yeah the Gunn one vs Maccerinelli are the ones I can remember.
Salita was poor but he had some okay wins so I wouldn't put him in the league of the others..... Joe Calzaghe also had some shockers aswell.

Gunn v Ademek for the IBF version wasn't any better

Jesus wept, I just looked up the record of Bridges, 4-0 and the combined record of her opponents is 9-22-4

Eamonn Loughran - Angel Beltre I & II
One of any number of WBO title fights masquerading as world title contests in the 90's.

on paper Alex Arthur vs Nicky Cook may not have been that bad but it was easily one of the worst fights I've ever seen

Spot on, that fight could put you off boxing for life. I remember watching it and feeling like I'd aged at least ten years by the end of it
