Not sure how you can have RJJ on that list, what a fucking idiot. Can't wait for this clown to get off of ESB once Judah loses.

can't believe Winky is on that list.. I'd loved him beating up Mosley and Tito.. those were masterclasses.. His fight with Vargas was a classic and one of the better fights of the 90's,, And his fight with Taylor was very good too

I know people can't believe it, but I've never really liked watching Roy Jones or Floyd Mayweather, either. As outstanding as these fighters were, their styles just don't move me.

However they're far easier on the eye than the likes of Calzaghe, Hopkins, Ruiz who, for me anyway, are three of the ugliest styles in recent memory, regardless of how good they were.

Boxing is a spectator sport. The best fighters are supposed to look good when they're doing it. It's why most people love guys like Morales; it's the way he fights.

Just looking at the expression and intensity in your eyes i can see that you are really serious

at least for me, calzaghe is tough to watch because of his style, it's cringeworthy at times. khan is tough to watch because you want to reach through the screen and rag doll him when he can't adapt, stick to a gameplan, or tries to get all machismo, he's frustrating considering the physical tools. wlad because he generally is unwilling to engage with killer instinct to get a guy out of there quick, when he easily could at times, yet drags it out, usually quite on the boring side with all the one two hold stuff.

put Mayweather Jr. in and RJJ out.

Jessie Vargas is the most boring active fighter IMO. Every fight of his I have seen, I have been bored shitless.

I agree Jessie Vargas sucks

Need to fall asleep? Watch a Maxie Rosenbloom, Eusebio Pedroza or Fritzie Zivic fight.
