    and nate miller ? except of Orlin norris .

    ali deserves a mention , so does holmes , and if d klitschkos don't then it's only due 2 their size which enables them 2 stop better but smaller opponents , not always better .

    I loved watching Winky, especially in the days he was coming over here and bashing up our guys. Remember watching him against Steve Foster and thinking " who the f*ck is that ??"

    Henry Akinwande is my choice.Audley Harrison at his most cautious too.

    Earnie "the octopus" Terrell
    Lennox Lewis could be boring as **** in some fights
    The Klitschko sisters
    Also Sugar Ray Leonard can make a fight dreadful to sit through sometimes

    Hopkins, Wright, and Andre Ward can be in some really boring fights sometimes, although some of their other fights are worth watching.

    I really can't sit through watching Sergio Mora, Cory Spinks, Klit Bros, Chris Byrd, and John Ruiz.

    My eyes are glazing over as I type this.

    Pernell Whitaker wasn't the most entertaining to watch for me despite his undoubted brilliance.

    Hopkins post 2004 is ****ing dreadful on the eye.

    It speaks volumes about John Ruiz that the only memorable thing about any of his fights (except for the Tua fight I suppose) is Stoney.

    Ruiz was a snore but compared to Jack Johnson of the Moran and Ketchel fights he's Smokin' Joe Frazier.

    And as for Jimmy Young I can't add anything that hasn't already been said except ...ugh.

    :lol:

    I remember watching that. It was like watching some sort of avant garde art installation. I remember thinking is this a fight or some sort of high concept prank/experiment.

    To be fair it was a one off... action thriller!!! Did you see Nelson/Warring or Nelson/Akinwande? The Akinwande fight, made Nelson/DeLeon look like Hagler/Hearns...

    I have so many career sets, but the one I had the hardest time sitting through entirely . . .

    was Benitez. It's a shame because he's a great fighter and looked like a good guy, but his offense bored me. It was like if you took the excitement out of Sal Sanchez, who I also felt was sometimes very non-explosive (except the Gomez fight everyone remembers, but EVERY other fight in his career wasn't like that)

    Spinks, Ruiz, Zahir Raheem all deserve their reputation as stinkers.
