    This showed up as a general thread question, but most guys only knew about recent fighters. Can the Classic forum trawl through decades of soporific fighters and do better?*



    * Please note that the answer "Jimmy Young" will trigger immediate retribution from the ghost of Bob Fitzsimmons.

    Jonny nelson has to be mentioned. His fights were like watching paint dry.

    Jungle Jess Willard, you'd be lucky to see him throw more than 20 punches a round.

    I wasn't too fond of Winky Wright, to be honest.

    Wladimir Klitschko, Winky Wright, Cory Spinks, John Ruiz...

    ... Jimmy Young :hey

    Jack Johnson also bores me, and Lewis blew hot and cold (even if he's my third favourite Heavy). Same with Vitali and Larry Holmes.

    Might just be me, but even when Chad Dawson is putting it on on someone, it seems a bit tepid
