    I have heard that some boxers are "great spoilers". What exactly does this mean?

    A hugger/Clincher or a runner who will ruin a fight w/a negative style.

    Or a motivated fighter who "Spoils" a potential mega fight by beating the **** out of the overconfident fighter.

    A fighter that is very good at nullifying his opponent's offensive arsenal.

    Manning Galloway was sometimes described in these terms...
    - In fact it was his accredited Nickname.

    Wlad
    Molina
    Ward
    Hopkins
    Bika
    Ruiz

    Just to name a few. Although I'm not sure if I would classify Ward as a true spoiler. He usually is just miles better than his opponents while lacking srs power.
