    I found him mostly more methodical than boring. For me he's not up with many of the names mentioned.

    I'd throw Golota & Kownacki into the mix.

    Or maybe, just maybe, he got a short term ban. What are the odds?

    Alright. For the folks who need some fun viewing content. These are just some of the guys I turn my brain off and enjoy when I have some spare time. I was going for the conventionally entertaining fighters opposed to strictly what I enjoy because if I listed Nicolino, Monzon or guys like Emile, people they would probably find that amusing.

    Soon Chun Kwon is one I want to add. But the thing is while he looked like a Barbarian against Jiro... It's the only fight of his I can find weird. I'd like to see his bout with Poonrat or maybe Tae. I don't know. This is an okay on the spot list but I am probably missing some guys. Chances are some of my favourites aren't even on this list. Just a wonderful by-product with the sheer amount of legendary pugilists we can choose from.

    An unusual one.
    Dave McAuley, the flyweight part time chef who managed to get floored in nearly every fight, was involved in a couple of fight of the year nominations, yet most of the time came back to win.

    Good call; from the McDermott fight onwards, Davey Boy always gave good value. Superb heart, very good power and at best an average chin is a recipe for excitement.

    Holmes had way too many boring fights to be on this list because when he dominated a fight, it was usually a boring fight.

    Wow. Haven't thought about him in a dog's age. Good pull.
