    Fights with multiple knockdowns that were awful?

    Hate to make another wlad vs povetkin thread but it had me thinking. How crazy is it wlad knocked him down four times and it was still one of the worst fights in history. It was just disgraceful to watch wlad continue to clinch when povetkin was never in the fight at all.

    Is there any other fights in history with multiple knockdowns that ended up still being an awful fight to watch?

    Pretty much any fight with a lot of knockdowns is boring.

      I didn't think it was even the worst fight of the day, let alone history. Sure it was ragged with too much clinching, but at least they fought with intensity. The Crawford-Klimov fight on HBO looked like two guys who were practicing boxing. Just terrible.

        That was Klimov fault he lost whatever courage he once had. Don't compare Crawford to Wlad Crawford is a 100 times more talented then Wlad.
        Theres no one who give credit to Wlad for skills or talent after that disgracefull showing. He needs to retire and let fresh young blood come in.
        He's a shot over the hill guy who was never a talent to begin with. He was just taller and Manny taught him the Kronk style of standing tall, work in & out and never exchange at the same time! Safe way of fighting when your chin isn't that good and your face will bruise easily! Manny made this guy!

          So this supposedly flawed fighter who hasn't been close to losing in nine years should retire to allow inferior talent to take over the division, just because it would be (potentially) more entertaining for you. After he just made 17 million dollars. Ok, sure.

            Wlad has no excuse. Povetkin was constantly pressing, was never in the fight, Wlad has ridiculous heavy power in his hands and had him down several times and even held Povetkin up a couple times when he would habe fallen down if wlad didnt hug him and keep him on his feet. Wlad and Carlos Molinas clinching style is a cancer to the sport.

            Crawfords opponent threw five punches a round and didnt come at all too fight but to survive and its hard to look good against those guy of guys. Hed atleast engage somebody to pressed him.

              Arreola-Mitchell one round but almost no action, just guys slipping all over the place. It's kinda funny, but i'd flip if i paid for it.
