Here in the UK we recently had a fight between David Haye and Tony Bellew, and while the fight wasn't for a title, it certainly generated a lot of publicity due to the fact that the two fighters hated each other. As I mentioned on another thread these two boxers were saying they was going to try and put the other one in hospital and there was genuine animosity there.
The fight itself though was a bit of a joke as Bellew broke his hand in the first couple of rounds and Haye ruptured his Achilles, so we basically had a one armed fighter against a legged one for around 11 rounds before Haye's corner finally threw the towel in. The fight WAS a spectacle but mostly for the wrong reasons and it made me think of other so called 'major' fights that had been a let down. Mayweather was involved in quite a few of them due to his defensive style of boxing, and I just wondered if anyone else can name a few fights that they had been looking forward to and it ended up being a let down.
