    When it comes to watching some great fighters.....what ones do you say to yourself, "I don't like watching him, don't really like his style, not for me i'm afraid".

    Duran: Vastly overrated. Not even the best at his own best weight (lightweight). One win over another all time great Leonard who he lost twice to.

    Naploes: I still have not seen any footage of him where on the outside, he dose not keep making two moves and stop, than repeat. He has some solid wins, but nothing that would lead me to think he'd beat other 'all time greats"

    Robinson: He's still an all time great. I just dion't have him #1 like most do. I fell that he lost fights he should have won. He should have won them because he was still the best Middleweight the world has ever seen and they were championship fights. He won some that other than the need to make money should have never been fought. A man of his talant, skills and ability should be held to a higher standered. When you use the same standered that belongs to Robinson. Benny Leonard, Ray Leonard and Pernell Whitaker do better.

    Who besides Benny Leonard could you have above Duran? And have you not seen his wins against Moore, Barkley, Palomino, Cuevas, and his performance against Hagler, many of those fights which came years past his physical prime and many pounds past his best weight?

    As a Duran fanatic, Carlos Ortiz has a rather superb resume at Lightweight. I didn't list him because most people underrate him and he's not seen as a viable threat, although he is and one could make a case for him.

    Pernell Whitaker, just hated watching him fight.

    Bernard Hopkins, I can only think of one exciting fight he was in, vs Joe Lipsey.

    Floyd Mayweather: boring, and against average opposition. The most overrated fighter of all time. The Gatti performance is the most overrated performance I've ever seen, because Gatti is in the ring with him. Looked **** against De La Hoya. Got on his bike to beat Castillo. Meh.

    And yet, I agree with you regarding a Mayweather-Arguello bout at 130. :twisted:

    kind of overboard. i think hes kind of a hypejob too but that doesnt mean he hasnt had a few exciting fights. The glen Johnson fight and the second echols fight were very entertaining to me
