    Did you see valuev vs holyfield? Atleast Haye wobbled him.

    Good list though i expected Pac/May to be boring knowing the fight was way past it's due date with Floyd's style of evading/clinching galore & with Pacquiao's regression considering how he'd become reduced to being so flat footed against both Bradley & Brandon after returning back to the ring after being knocked out,

    Wasn't so surprised in the Leonard/Duran match up either due to both of their ages especially Duran but with how their first two fights went, even in their first fight there wasn't much action as it's always written about all through felt it was tactical in my opinion,

    DLH/Trinidad was one you expected to be way more due to both of their aggression/power & styles of looking to take one another out.

    Fury vs Wlad was the most boring "big fight" I've ever seen

    Any fight with Okolie is a contender.

    Which reminds me, I need to sort my sock drawer out this Saturday night.

    Lewis-Tua was pretty bad aside from the first 3 rounds.

    I have seen so many boring fights that it's hard to think of just one - kinda like when you hear a bunch of jokes in one day and then not being able to remember any of them.

    I'll pick Fury-Wlad, not only because they're two huge guys and you would at least expect something exciting to happen, but also because Fury fanboys talk it up like it was some kind of ATG classic battle.

    I'm a Mayweather fan but his fight with Baldomir was hard to watch with out having to catch your head from falling back.

    Yeah but Lewis was cheating, he wouldn’t let Tua hit him with his left hook.
