    Whitaker, Floyd and Nunn weren't boring.

    But to answer your question. There is a correct answer.

    John Ruiz.

    Forgot he was actually a 'World Champion'.

    Nelson was much more consistently boring though. Every bout.

    They were far beyond boring. Except for the Maidana fight and sub welterweight Flord fights I literally fell asleep 1/2 way thru these guys snorefests.

    I am really questioning rour schooling in boxing. Becoming very disturbed at the direction you have taken.

    Come off it. I love nearly all types of boxing styles. I only hate deliberate runners and spoilers, like a Nelson or Akwinade, which none of those were. I don't like Hopkins though (didn't notice his name first time).

    You have even abandoned Chaney!!!!! Just now watching Antuofermo-Hallacy-terrific Vito fight. Just watched Hagler Sibson - the Hags greatest performance. Watched Sibson-Mintor. Before that Weaver vs Dokes 1. Before that supper(Dairy Queen). Before that Kallie Knoetzee vs Bill Sharkey. Before that Knoetzee vs Gerrie Coetzee. Before that Coetzee vs Spinks. Before that Spinks vs. Holmes 1981. After the Vito fight I will watch Benitez knockout of Randy Shields. Followed by Salvador Sanchez vs. Pat Cowdell. A good day. Then listen to some Pink Floyd and out!!!!!
