    Only joking of course.

    Herol Graham, I can't stand that 'Ingle' style.

    So you don't like their style because they're overrated for you?

    Nice shout here. The rough-housing can be bothersome.

    Some of you guys are absolutely crazy with your nominations.

    Wlad Klitschko - Popkins explained
    John Ruiz - no explanation needed
    Vitali Klitschko - He gives it an go with the work-rate, but his awful technique lean-back style in slow-motion is torture to watch. Not just because it's bad, but because his dreadful opposition can't expose it, and plenty of his fans think he's magnificent and genius because of it.
    Ricky Hatton's style doesn't thrill me but I have a soft spot for Ricky, so I'll refrain from going beyond that.
    Jack Johnson - A whole lot of clinching and man-handling much smaller men.

    Calzaghe, he slaps like a mongoloid and then acts all tough as if he didn't just throw meaningless slaps but actual punches. Can't stand to watch it.

    Locche, I like his defence a lot but offensively he doesn't do ****. And if he does it's very limited.

    Naseem Hamed. I ****ing hate his style, his taunting, his face, everything about him just makes me ****ing puke. Watching MAB beat him up is a joy I can repeat every week.

    Hopkins. Don't see the genius at all. A boring ugly style that makes me want to watch soccer.

    David Haye. He's too busy showing off his tits. I especially hate it when he poses like a ****ing sumo. Get knocked the **** out already.

    I got to say though, everyone that is digging at Locche's offence, that's a lovely lead left hook he throws. Purty.

    Unfortunately that's just about all he throws, outside of the jab (which would be a lot more acceptable were his jab a superior one). He's almost strictly a left handed, two punch fighter, at least when dictating the pace. Otherwise he's capable of superb counters with either hand.

    Foreman-Stewart was alright if only for watching Big George get his face rearranged but the Moorer was dull aside from the 10th round pay off and the Briggs fight sucked out right even though George deserved the nod.

    I like Foreman but really old George was ****ing tedious to watch.He was so slow and aside from his jab he couldn't even put his punches together anymore.Those clumsy round house rights were laughable and Moorer deserves credit for being the only Heavyweight post 1992 to be dumb enough to stand in front of one.
