    I used to think it was Lewis v Tua which anyone ordering prior thought was gonna be a good match…but AJ v Ruiz 2 actually put me to sleep. I’m sure there are more boring fights but man those were let downs

    Nicolino Locche's most well known performance when he beat Paul Fuji to the point of quitting out of frustration isn't really that exciting. Brilliant as Locche's skills are he never really did it for me and I found most of his fights pretty dull to watch.

    Agreed…amazing given who the fighters were and how in form they were too. Other than when Frazier wobbled early on,I thought it lacked drama and was monotonous.

    Francois Botha - Axel Schulz. Boring to the newbie casual fan. Exhilarating to the seasoned observer.

    I wouldn’t call Marlon starling or Michael Nunn all time greats. But they were both very good champions at the time. The fight they had together was the most boring I’ve ever seen. It was like watching a pillow fight

    Nunn definitely could've been an all time great, but struggled a lot with drugs. Though I definitely agree about that fight.
    He DID make it to the Olympic tryouts while being completely self taught, after all.

    Yeah they both had very good careers. Nunn probably had more potential. But that fight was horrible
