    OK - we have had the thread for the most action packed bout - how about the complete opposite - the stinkers.....

    Johnny Nelson vs Carlos De Leon
    Junior Witter vs Zab Judah
    Ricky Hatton vs Juan Urango
    Audley Harrison vs Danny Williams
    Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Maweather ?

    The list goes on - contributions welcomed

    Those come no where near some of the utter borefests I've seen. Try watching some ESPN2 undercards and your list will change very drastically... and by the way, I rather enjoyed De La Hoya - Mayweather. Not too bad a fight. Only people who would criticize the action are casual boxing fans that can't appreciate what they're looking at.

    Peace.

    Hatton vs Urango was the only fight that put me to sleep, even Ruiz/Toney kept me hoping that a KO would occur but that Urango card was boring to DEATH. Hatton's brother on the undercard of that fight put to sleep as well, never though I'll say of this stuff about boxing matches but this happened!

    The Hatton Urango card was the most boring full card I have seen, his brother is perhaps the most boring fighter to watch full stop - low workrate, but a decent defence and reasonable power.

    You just wonder what he could do if he actually bothered to punch his opponent more than five times a round, not saying he would get anywhere near world level, but certainly European gatekeeper at least.....

    I thought Floyd vs Oscar was alright. Harrison vs Williams however, was a shockingly boring fight. Dominated by the trademark A-force tap on the head. If I remember rightly there was one good round in the fight, possibly 11 or 12? rewarding those that managed to last that long. Klitschko vs Ibragimov was in my opinion worse, although being a Brit maybe that was coupled with having stayed up to watch those two do not a lot

    Taylor-Spinks. Especially being shown right after Pavlik-Miranda. I actually turned off the channel and watched Aqua Teen. Don't regret it at all either.
