    Please enlighten me.

    I have to go with Ruiz v Rahman.... i usually have a lot of patience for fights... but i have tried to watch this one three times and fallen asleep (literally) every time.

    I have never fallen asleep in any other fight.... hell, i found Mayweather v Baldomir really interesting

    Jones v Hopkins was pretty funny in my opinion, therefore i can't put it down

    Wlad Klitschko vs Sultan Ibragimov & Hopkins vs Allen were the first 2 that I can think of.

    Mayweather vs Baldomir. The most boring fight ever. Watch at your own peril.

    i took two friends to this and said "wait till you see this, its going to be a beautiful display"

    i thought it was going to be like PBF vs Gatti.

    i no longer have those friends

    :lol: I think Floyd is the only fighter where the other guy instantly becomes a scrub during the fight. Usually its only after the fight that great fighters opponents are derided as not that good.

    Paraphrasing Lampley and co. Baldomir went into the fight as a dangerous fighter, an opponent who was larger then anyone who Floyd has ever fought and like nothing Floyd has ever fought and his biggest threat.

    By, the 6 round he's a bum, and Floyd is a potshotting defensive runner. :rofl

    I know!! -

    One of my favourite moments in commentary is during the Jones v Ruiz fight when, after building it up as a massive challenge, Lampley wrote Ruiz off as a bum and George Foreman just laid into Merchant and Lampley about it - ever since then i have liked Big George as a commentator

    Some of the random W. Klitschko fights are miserable. Seeing a giant completely control an outsized underskilled no-hoper is as boring as boxing can get. The steady/nervous jab, jab, jab... jab, jab, right hand pacing, over and over and over and over and over is coma inducing.

    Really, I love all fights and I really don't find any "boring" or I guess I have a high tolerance for crappy fights, but Klitschko-Ibragimov was flat out horrible. I don't remember any 'oh ****' moments aside for the fact that they tackled each other in round 9 or whatever it was. That was ****ing horrible.
