    Floyd vs Pac

    Greatest ever hustle for the fighters and promoters.

    There are fights more boring but Duran-Leonard 3 deserves a mention, as well Lewis vs Tua.

    Probably some obscure undercard fight

    In terms of what I've seen, Lewis vs Akinwande was pretty bad. Had some action the first couple of rounds but the clinching became mindnumbing. Akinwande got disqualified lol i forgot about that

    Rances Barthelemy v Robert Easter Jr was comically uneventful

    Arthur Beterbiev v Enrico Koelling was such a dull beatdown that Teddy Atlas invented an absurd argument to have with the commentator which got him fired from ESPN

    Nonito Donaire vs Omar Narvaez
    Wilfred Benitez vs Carlos Santos
    Lennox Lewis vs Henry Akinwande
    Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Nonito Donaire

    I love Nonito Donaire and wish I didnt have to put him here but he gets on my list twice because those two fights were, though largely not by his doing, boring.

    As a little girl, I thought the most boring fight I ever saw was Witherspoon-Page 1. I reanointed it a couple years ago watching it on you tube and corrected myself: it was a war. BUT, with recent absolutely fantastic Heavyweight title fights like Holmes-Cooney and Holmes-Witherspoon and Dokes-Weaver 1 (short as it was) and 2 and Coetzee-Dokes, back then I expected Witherspoon-Page 1 to live up to those heights so I guess that's what disappointed me on March 9, 1984? It was a very good fight.

    Hopkins vs Jones Jr rematch is one of the most boring and probably the most pathetic fight between two ATG in the history of boxing.

    Almost all of Johnny " The entertainer " Nelson fights, if they could be labeled such.

    Fury vs Klitschko

    Only managed to watch until the 9th round & had to turn it off

    2 huge men who were frightened to throw punches & the winner just did slightly more than the loser
