    I’d prefer to watch the beer goggles copy of Napoles outboxing Griffith then watch Canelo fight in 4K.

    Honestly, countless. Lots of boring fights out there and I say that as a Griffith fan.

    Agreed. I hate saying it, as I truly respect his achievements and career. Great fighter without argument. But my God, he's awful to watch.

    Most Johnny Nelson fights. They were horrendous.

    My pick is Hamed - Soto.

    It was kind of disgusting he was called “the entertainer”

    Eusebio Pedroza vs Bernard Taylor was pretty unbearable, and I usually enjoy watching Pedroza's fights.

    Also couldn't stand watching Wladimir Klitschko constantly clinching in his fight against Alexander Povetkin. That was terrible to watch.

    And Soto was a pretty good fighter. He stopped Jose Luis Castillo- of Mayweather fame, or infamy- in 2 rounds, before Castillo fought Floyd.

    Taylor shamelessly ran from Pedroza. I gave the fight to Pedroza, though I forget my score now. I probably gave it to him on principle more than anything.

    If you are talking poor film quality, then I would also add in

    Lionel Rose v Chucho Castillo
    Carmen Basilio v Gaspar Ortega
    Ken Buchanan v Ruben Navarro

    Most Hopkins fights. Boxing should be a combat sport on some level, not a negative affair hiding behind the rules and limitations of attack.
