Fighters who unfairly get labeled as being boring?

Lewis is a good call. Too many brand him as boring.

 

nice thread. carlos monzon. haven't seen him enough to get a great feel but what i have seen is a meticulous master. not balls out warrior exciting but brilliant and fun to watch in his own right but does have a rep of dull

 

Not so unfairly: Joey Archer, Zora Folly, Paul Pender 'n Eddie Machen

 

Boring boring dull dull, BB. They must've had charisma bypass operations.

 

Emile Griffith - even his so called bore-fest's I find interesting.

 

I'm a huge fan of Emile Griffith, yet I admit he can be boring..Carlos Monzon is one of the greatest fighters of all time, yet if you don't know what you're watching, he can appear to be dull too...but mostly to those fans with short attention spans. Watching guys like Willie Pastrano and Harold Johnson is art to me, but can be excrutiatingly dull to rock 'em sock 'em robot type fans...

 

Lennox certainly, for me Whitaker and Mayweather, I know some will find them boring but I love to watch them practice the sweet science.

 

thumbsup only Big G Foreman himself at heavywieght is more exciting then Lennox IMO.

 

A lot of the defensive masters. I love to watch that sort of thing. It's all about preference, I suppose. That said, I do find guys like Lewis and Griffith boring for the most part, not that they haven't had their moments. Charles is another who can be quite a bore for me, though he's just as capable of doing some really impressive work.

 

I agree with you. Lennox was cautious at times,but I never found him boring. Jimmy Young got unfairly tagged as being boring too,imo.

 

Winky Wright. Far from boring.
