    He just looks ****e.:yep

    Seriously though, more or less the same as McGrain.can be hard to get much out of the pre-30s\40s footage if you're actually genuinely interested in ****ysing the fighter and not just cupping the ***** of reputation.

    whittaker was definitely boring so was roy jones and mayweather, Hopkins, klitchkos and lennox lewis were terrible to watch.
    Richard abril (not a great) has a horrible grabby style and I cant make my mind up on rigondeaux
    a lot of ali's later fights were harsh on the eye too.

    Well now that you mention him, I stopped watching his fights after the Povetkin debacle.

    Not sure what to say other than that fight against Povetkin really turned me off. I still think he cracks the top 10 ATG list, but that display was simply unforgiveable in terms of it being a fight friendly event.

    He's a funny guy, he's got all the tools in the world and yet he sometimes fights like he's the much smaller, less powerful, and less skilled fighter.

    Hearns when he faced Hagler. He didn't seem like his normal self that night.Not to take anything away from the Marvelous one.

    Vlad OMG he is the most over rated fighter in history - nice on the rare occassions when theres a commentator who isnt being paidto hug his nuts and tells it like it is - one of the commentators from thr Pulev fight actually apologised for the ridiculoud continual holding haha

    all of the old timers including Benny Leonard and Jack Dempsey.
    both klits are dull, Frank Bruno, if he's classed as a great had only rudimentary skills.

    I have to agree about the really old timers; I usually really appreciate the historical aspect of things, but with boxing I just have zero interest in anything that happened before maybe 1950. It's almost like it was a different sport or something.
