Patterson v Johanssen. Ugly. Of course, Floyd hat a lot of ugly defenses. But you were asking for the worse.

Brockton...How can you say Frazier's performanc was not up to it. Foreman on that nignt was almost unbeatable. Frazier was never going to beat that Foreman, no matter what he did. He was annihilated by a Monster. Joe's style was tailor made for Foreman

I think he needed a whole lot more than Kevin Rooney and some ice. I watched this fight again this weekend on ESPN and I have to say that Buster fought a great fight. While Tyson may not have been at the top of his game that night, he still was in his prime and was hardly a shell of the Tyson from 2 years earlier. It was more a case of someone coming into the fight with a plan and some skills. Once Buster didn't back down in the first it was just a matter of time.

As far as someone in their prime who had an off night -- how about Witherspoon against Bonecrusher? Blown out in one by a guy he had already beaten.
