An Assault On The Eyes

Monzon was the king of just standing there and not doing anything. IMO he has some really entertaining fights, but the Griffith and the first Benvenuti one are unwatchable

 

Oh I just realised this was your thread… I can explain!

 

I hate watching Harry Greb fights ... because THERE ARE NONE! Watching his fights is like: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Chris Byrd was very talented, but something about that flicking right jab just drove me absolutely nuts.
Second iteration of Wladamir Klitschko. Jab. Jab. Jab. Grab.
Emile Griffth was pretty one paced, and that pace didn't suit me at all.
Henry Maske. I got bored to tears before I even finished typing his name.
John Ruiz. You already know the reason.

Whitaker is a fighter a generally can’t stand to watch. He’s great and great at making me lose interest in watching boxing

 

I meant I can explain myself for bashing Sal Sanchez of everyone's thread's to jump in and say what I did lol.

SaintPat: “Stupid successful Monzon”

 

Unmotivated Ray Mercer was a chore to watch under-perform.

 

Stanley Ketchel, Jim Corbett (not to mention the G-string), Max Baer.

 

Wladimir Klitschko was pretty brutal to watch. Even Emmanuel Stewart could hardly stand it anymore:

What's driving it, do you think?

Is there some kind of regional split going on? Two expanded lineages of gyms/trainers that have very different approaches? Do referees exclusively penalize moderately dirty, moderately technically savvy fighters who don't fall into the gremlin/technician dichotomy?
