Joe Slappy..Is he boring?

kind of, in the way that all dominate champions are boring.

 

took bute3 rounds to stop him and lacy 3 to retire this guy.

took calzaghe 1 to flatten him...

No doubt!

It's boring because his management cuddled him in their protective arms and wouldn't allow him to come out and play with the rough neighborhood kids across town and only let him play with the nerdy kids who promised to come to his house.

His fights with Kessler and Lacy were pretty fun to watch. The Hopkins and Jones fights were boring. Haven't seen alot of his earlier fights

Hell no! He wa a quality operator in the ring. I loved watching him fight and showboat in the ring.

 

watch the fights i posted in this thread then

 

Hes not boring cause he takes chances even when he doesnt need to and probably shouldnt.

 

Not boring at all to me. I'm certainly not a fan of his style but definitely not boring. A very fast swarmer, lots of activity. What's boring?

 

What bores me are the premature stoppages.

 

Calzaghe may be many things, but boring he was not.

 

Punches a lot? Has a style that basically gets you in the edge of the seat because his guard is so open? I think that there're only two fights that I never really enjoyed in his career.

The Starie one and the Hopkins fight. And it had more to do with the styles of his opponents than it did with him.

But I never knew that Hughes went on after getting his undefeated record dirtied by Calzaghe.

LOL I can't believe he actually KO'd someone that Lacy and Bute took 3 rounds to TKO/KO.

 

Not really boring but I don't care for his style. He looks a bit amateur at first but when you actually study a bit of his fights you see that he can use distance, in&out work, and moves his head quite well to avoid shots. I try to warm to him but it's the questionable stoppages that turn me off. He was great in his time but I would much rather watch Jones or Toney TBH. Personal preference and I take nothing away from Calzaghe as he was a great champ.

I guess but Trinidad and Hagler weren't boring most of their reign to name a few. Even Hopkins had some pretty watchable fights during most of his reign. Duran is another dominant fighter that usually made good scraps as a LW. Toney as a SMW during his few years dominant as the IBF champion(91-94) usually made watchable fights as well. I can go on but I'll stop here. If you were being sarcastic, sorry, sarcasm doesn't translate well on the web.

I know they annoy me too. It's not Calzaghe's fault, I blame the possibly paid off refs.
