    You think Ocasio is ugly to watch? I just thought he was light and ineffective. I thought he was a good boxer. Or is he a spoiler, I don't remember exactly. Only the fights with Young, Dokes, and Holmes do I remember. And Young II and the Dokes fights were pretty good I think.

    Definitely near the end of his career.

    John Ruiz makes everyone's list. As would Johnny Nelson, but luckily people in the USA were blessed as not to have to watch him box. Wlad K went from an exciting fighter to one who was hard to watch. Pernell Whitaker was boring as hell.

    I add in that the worst fight ever was Chris Byrd vs Darryl "Touch of Sleep" Williamson, which was basically two pacifists with boxing gloves.

    Andre Ward. His hit and hold style is just so unpleasant to watch. Not to mention the fact that he could write the whole book on how to break the rules in boxing and get away with it. Dude makes BHOP look saintly by comparison.

    Y’all must have forgot!

    Jack Johnson. In a time when maulers where common place he was undeniably the most despised fighter to watch for more then one ignorant reason.

    John Ruiz. I mean, props to him, he came back from the disaster fight that was a vicious KO loss to David Tua to win a few heavyweight titles and beat a bunch of guys who people didn't think he could beat, but my god was his fighting style torture to watch.

    Gianfranco Rosi was an abomination. Limon was ugly in style, but he was very effective with his ugliness.

    Freddie Roach.....because I hated seeing him take those beatings and keep pressing on in the early -mid 80s. I was a fan. Still am
