    Carlos Monzon's fights with Emile Griffith were dull as dishwater.

    Wlad vs the left handed guy. Ibragimov? So bad Manny Steward was screaming at Wlad in his corner.

    Here it is...DON'T WATCH IT.

    Wlad vs Fury was as bad as it gets. Don't think there was one good punch landed the entire fight

    Maske - Williams, Jesus Christ. Working on the reel for Prince Charles and this fight was just dull... Williams was looking very bad compared to his performances before and after this one, and Henry was as he usually was.

    Mayweather-Maidana II was pretty dull except the bite complaining and Maidana countering the pull counter.

    Seldon vs Hipp
    McCall vs Bruno

    1995 was a very low point in terms of heavyweight title fights.

    Holmes v Spinks M I
    Ali v Young
    Eubank v Schommer
    De Leon v Nelson
    Lewis v Akinwande


    Almost hurts to put Ali's name in the frame but that fight was terrible. Got to be honest.

    I know it was far from most thrilling fight but the technique on how to fight effectively against a southpaw is well shown.

    I was going to say de Leon-Nelson but that was so bad it went from being boring to being unforgettable.

    If Johnny had poked out his jab as often as he did his tongue,he could have won that snoozefest.
