    Mayweather. Have no interest in watching any of his fights again. Haven’t re-watched one since Castillo I and likely never will (out of choice). Ward, I can’t watch either. Wladimir Klit, I guess those are the “greats” (though I don’t consider Wlad or Ward great) I can’t watch.

    Lennox Lewis. Jab... jab.... jab....Jab... jab.... jab....right hand. Reset. Jab... jab.... jab....Jab... jab.... jab....

    Bert Sugar said it best when he said “My right foot falls asleep around round two of any Lennox fight and the rest of me by round seven”

    Monzon
    Locche
    Griffith
    Most heavyweights
    Eddie Mustafa Muhammad


    Lots of others I don't like to watch, but they're hardly great.

    I never made it past rd 7 of most Myweather fights. Went to bed. Whitaker was worse still.

    Ernie Terrell. Really a talented guy who could have done a lot more than jab and hold, just awful to watch most of the time though.

    Pea and it is not really close. Yeah, he is a brilliant ring technician but honestly I just don’t enjoy rewatching his fights and TBF didn’t at the time either.

    Ali. His fights were mostly trash.

    Anyone who clinches as much as they punch. Guys like Griffith, Saddler, Ali, Wlad, older Hop, old Floyd &c; obviously there's a few exceptions from those guys, but most of their fights are awful. I like Young versions of Hopkins and Floyd though.

    Can't believe people are saying Pernell, I love watching Sweet Pete.

    Mike Tyson, I love watching his fights where he’s just knocking everyone out early, but a lot of the fights where he goes into the later rounds there’s just way too much holding for my taste.

    Sugar Ray Leonard simply because I can't stand him. Great and exciting fighter though.

    Probably Mayweather Jr. At welterweight, where he was overrated.
