    I appreciate all boxing but iv never been a fan of heavyweights

    And wlad, though he does score shutouts and knockouts and though cursed with a pretty weak chin and ability to recover he is the most boring fighter i watch

    Again, a true champion but not a fan of his style

    Hopkins. Even to a fighting fan, his fights are boring as ****.. anybody actually enjoy his fights with Slappy or RJJ 2? Granted, he was only boring after his fights with Taylor.

    Ruiz was a great shout.

    The guy's fightig plan is like a crude form of MMA under boxing rules.

    1. Flurry
    2. Use the momentum to get close
    3. Clinch
    4. Try to push opponent's back to the ropes
    5. Keep holding with one hand and punch with the other
    6. Rest head on opponent's chest
    7. Wait for referee to break things up
    8. Then repeat 1
    9. Side strategy: utilize Oscar winning performance of writhing in agony after a tap even just a hair below the beltline.

    Wlad in 2nd place? Rookie boxing fans. Wlad was a destruction machine before he got with Steward. He's boring as barking dogs now, but when he came on to the scene, he was devastating, AND open for a shot to the chin.

    Now, Hopkins is one boring fighter. The only time I ever enjoyed one of his fights, was when he got beat.

    Cory Spinks. At British level Thomas McDonagh was a damn bore.

    Seems I remember his win over Mayorga was a pretty good fight, could be wrong though, been a long time.
