    1. Wlad


    Why - cause he holds EVERY conceivable advantage over his embarrassingly pathetic opposition - yet still fights like an absolutely petrified *****



    2 Hopkin



    The others dont really bother me - both Ward and Floyd are immensely skilled - and dont try and cheat their way through fights like Hopkin

    Rigo - very good boxer, but will not engage. If every boxer fought like him, boxing would be dead.

    Alexander - probably more boring than Rigo, but also more flawed, so can be in exciting fights. Just not very entertaining though. Bailey vs Alexander may have been the most boring fight on Network TV last year.

    Wlad - would be ranked number one, but you always anticipate that one of his shitty opponents will almost land a punch, and Wlad will be crawling on the floor on his hands and knees. After it's all said and done though, probably the most boring.

    Ward - although his fight with Dawson was very exciting. Other than that, clinches too much, not too fluid for being ranked so high PFP, and apparently, not much power.

    Chavez Jr. - he can be hit or miss, but his last two fights were exciting and close.

    Floyd - he's a great fighter, but he loses points because Canelo was likely fixed.

    Hopkins - he can only rely on skill because he's old as hell. He has a lot of tricks in his book, and I look foward to watching him. Also, at this age, there is the element that he might get messed up real bad.

    Broner - love him or hate him, he comes foward and tries to knock his man out. Malinaggi made the fight boring, not Broner.

    Rigo, he boxes circles around his opponent and basically makes it look like he's working out on a heavy bag instead of fighting a professional boxer.


    At least with Klitschko there's always the spector of a knock out lurking around. Whether it be WK to be KOed or his opponent.

    Rigo does that to much bigger p4p opponents = that is just insane


    Imagine Wlad in with a decent much larger opponent. He would be KOd winthin the opening round or two


    If Rigo was doing what he was doing to useless opponents like Waldo faces, then yeah, would be aswesomly boring. But he's doing it to bigger p4p guys. Its insane to watch, and itf you dont appreciate it you dont appreciate the noble art

    I would suggest for those peps that have problem sleeping at night a dvd collection of Rigo fights would help put them to sleep fast.

    Only the boxing ignorant would consider any of these boxers boring to watch. All are highly skilled and champions. Enough said.

    Never seen Alexander fight

    but out of the rest, Wladimir is the ONLY one who is boring. The ONLY one. His jab and clinch routine, where he will pull a guy from range into a clinch as soon as he gets within punching range should be punished with point deuctions and eventual DQ, it's ridiculous.

    If you can't or won't appreciate technical boxing and tactical boxing, then you're not appreciating the sport fully and you're probably watching it for the wrong reasons. Floyd Rigondeaux and Hopkins especially are incredible to watch perform, the control they possess in the ring is magnificent to witness and truly is something special.

    I highly doubt it. He beat men the same size easily (Jameel McCline, Derrick Jefferson, Ray Austin, Mariusz Wach, and Tony Thompson). Only the last of these gave him any trouble, and it wasn't much trouble either.

    The most boring is probably Mayweather because he only makes fights he knows he can win fairly comfortably, so there is no sense of excitement. Also, he never tries to put serious hurt on his opponent the way others on the list do.

    I don't watch Hopkins because I strongly suspect him of steriod use.
