Fighters Whose Style You Just Can't Stand

Two come immediately to mind for me; Nicolino Locche and Victor Galindez.

Locche seemed more concernced with showing everybody how incredibly genius he was at escapism than anything, and that just turns me off. His fights are tedious at best.

Victor Galindez, at least what I've seen of him, had a very negative style as well. Every time I've seen him it features him retreating to the ropes and occasionally flailing with wild counters, then settling back into that rhythm.

Don't misunderstand, I'm not attempting to deny these men's placement in history, or argue how good they were. I just hate watching them. I'd rather someone post their living room paint drying on youtube than watch these two.

 

Vitali Klitschko: His style is just so damn ugly.

Joe Calzaghe: Not as ugly as Vitali's, but still ugly with the slaps. He also looks really stupid when he taunts.

John Ruiz: No explanation necessary.

 

Excellent call on Ruiz. He is water to anyone's oil.

 

Yeah you got the right picks, Calzaghe is watchable though despite his ugly style. The Klitschko's and Ruiz are not watchable.

 

Nailed it.

At TS have to diagree with you there, watching Locche v Fuji to me is simply amazing

 

Locche is awesome, fail

anything Klitschko of course

 

hopkins shits me

 

Ali, george foreman, Fraizer, Tyson, SRR, SRL, Hagler, Hearns, Tyson, Ibeabuchi, Tua, Lemmy Kilmister, Louis, Dempsey, Marchiano, SSM, Patterson, Liston, RJJ, Foster, Pac, Pep, Sweat Pea....... I hate boxing.

 

Jack Johnson is torture for me to watch.

Jimmy Young has his admirers but I think he's horrible.

George Foreman post Holyfield is like watching a 12 round slow motion replay.

Hopkins can be a bit dull though I appreciate his skills.

 

Fighters I just dislike their styles: Spinks, Monzon, Vitali

Also Armstrong/Dempsey because they get overrated when being relatively beatable

Outside of the ring Vitali/Dempsey come off very well and I'm a fan in that respect

 

I forgot to list him.

 

Anyone "coached " by Brendan Ingle.
Jimmy Young ,Chris Byrd, The Klit Bros.

 

Jimmy Young, Nicolino Locche, Victor Galindez,....dull? These are some of my favorite fighters..I can't understand this "dull" stuff.

 

You should watch more early Galindez, Sal (although there isn't as much of him on film at that stage). He was more of a full on pressure fighter/swarmer at that stage. I liked both versions, personally.

For me: Lennox Lewis, Ezzard Charles, Emile Griffith (post-Paret), Khaosai/Khaokor Galaxy, Gene Fullmer, Juan Roldan, Bazooka Limon, Freddie Mills, Vito Antuofermo, Howard Davis Jr., among many others I'm sure.

 

I actually don't really have this problem with any fighters, but the one that comes the closest is Vitali Klitschko though. The very recent version more so than the younger one, probably because he's even slower, cupled with his crazy technique (or lack of), I do rate him though, (but not higher than what i see fit).
