Taking into account expectations going in, lack of action, lack of performance. Which fight were you the most disappointed in?

Feel free to add to the list.

Relentless, since you weren't following boxing in 1999, just ignore the Hoya/Tito option :good

Trindad-De La Fishnet, because my expectations of the other 2 weren't that high. The other two actually met or surpassed my expectations in terms of action level/excitement.

Come on Beware, this is an EASY answer

Tito-DLH

The other 2 matches had AT LEAST 1 fighter who was on the downhill or at least "past prime," while with Tito and Oscar you had 2 26 year old undefeated phenoms. And that fight sucked monkey balls..

How were people more dissapointed from Mayweather-DLH and Hopkins-Calzaghe?

What did you expect from those fights?

Of the three, you've gotta pick De La Hoya-Tito, because the action was expected to be fairly intense, and instead it was very tame, undecisive, and the decision was probably the most exciting thing of the night, in a wrong way.

I actually like De La Hoya-Mayweather. I felt the action and drama were consistant enough, given the event and the names.

And I enjoyed Hopkins-Calzaghe, as well. They weren't Foreman-Lyle, but they weren't Marquez-Gainer, either!!!

DLH/Trinidad was pretty good till the last couple of rounds.

My pick would go to Lewis/Tyson.............for some reason I still expected a lot more fireworks!
