    Yep, he's next on Haye's list in the WBA rankings unless he wants to take some step aside money. Which would be great if he did and we might get VK/Haye.

    Even the welterweight version had his fair share of boring fights. Very messy, scrappy affairs most of the time.

    Jack Johnson.

    Muhammad Ali before his exile was mostly boring. Actually despite being in two classics with Frazier and some other enjoyable fights, he was largely dull to watch.

    I enjoy watching Mayweather fight, although like most guys, he has his stinkers.

    Really? Really! I thought Ali's evasiveness, speed, and reflexes made for some awesome fights in his prime. To each their own I guess.

    Of his first title reign, the only title defense I really enjoyed watching was him against Williams, the latter rounds against Patterson (the early going was pretty awful), and I guess London was alright.

    No, I mean his son Lil Floyd is probably a top 100 fighter.
