    Some notable names:

    Mayweather
    Rigondeaux
    Klitschko
    Lara

    Am i the only one who finds this **** insulting? I mean those are very arguably the 3 best fighters in the sport (and Lara is probably in the top 20 or so) and you have a renowned commentator essentially telling people not to watch them. :patsch

    I mean would a basketball ****yst ever say "Hey don't watch Tim Duncan, he's kind of boring"? (not that i think he's boring but his game is built on fundamentals/craftiness/IQ like the fighters above)

    Mayweather and Rigondeaux are class, i like watching them.

    lara i wont seek out to watch.

    klitchko is boring but he does produce devasting KOs. so he is must watch.

    This is pathetic of Lampley. But in no way racist like the know-nothing above is saying.

    The part about Vasquez's birth certificate was in poor taste IMO

    Oh I didn't actually even realize there was a video attached. I just saw the list of fighters. Either way, yeyo's still an idiot.

    I strongly disagree about Rigondeaux.

    However, I think he should have included his co-worker Andre Ward and Leo Santa Cruz. Not necessarily for their in-ring styles but for their lack of initiative for quality opposition.

    Hopkins should be on there, but I think Lampley is friends with B-Hop. I have no problem with what he's saying. He has the Gatti list of the most exciting fighters to watch; so what's wrong with him making the least exciting fighters list? He didn't say that they were untalented. He said they were the least fun to watch of the most talented fighters. He even said that purists would still be able to appreciate them. He's not wrong.

    -best fighter P4P and of the entire era in Mayweather
    -best HW since Lennox and probable/fringe top 10 HW ever in Wladimir
    -top 10 P4P in Rigondeaux
    -respected and proven top 5 JMW for years in Lara
    -most accomplished lightweight (long reign) of the past 5 years in Vazquez


    Sounds to me like making that list is a great thing...

    Sheep,
    his agenda is to ridicule skill he is a woman beater adulterer,and a drunk and I do believe a racists ,the only reason why those boxers are not liked is because of him but who is he to say anything about boxing I've got to switch him the smug b...s****.why listen to a guy that's never stepped in the ring he's a fool,he talks more about the boxer life,a digs up ****,on them but yet he has a dirty path,nothing in his comentry makes sense and he get excited over punches that don't land

    Lara has such a skill set that baffles
    Mayweather all I got say is 49-0
    Reganduex, come on made donaire look silly and made him pay with the cleanest right that made donaire look at the ref and cover his eye up and back cycle,
    Lampley is an old baffoon and people got shake that fool off quick coz he is dumbing you lot down and adjusting your view,ask any gym ameture to pro-ranks,beaten and un-beaten and they will tell who is p4p,how arrogant is lampley to undermind,greatness he's been taught well from his peer Lary bull**** merchant,erelavant ramblings and useless poetic random sayings inbetween action,than can't read a fights eb and flow or traps and counter he talks over great shots,move off jim,that's why people are hitting the YouTube and having boxing convo and clear boxing break down and are actually laughing at the comentry,the foolish sheep will always follow,rather than get a real fan/ boxers view,

    It would be like Tim Duncan being afraid to shoot the f'n ball. Floyd and company are afraid to take any chances. They will throw the least amount of punches possible, run, hold, etc. Floyd is afraid to throw punches with power on them and he just point fights & runs.

    The Gatti List Lampley came out with mid-2013 included Rios, Provodnikov, Matthysse, Stevenson, Kovalev. Anybody disagree?

    Also, I don't see what there is to disagree about here. Lampley didn't say that the guys on the Anti-Gatti list weren't top fighters. But this isn't a p4p list, and Gatti would have never made one of those. These lists are about who is the most or least exciting fighters.
