    Im talking your terry flanagans, your ryan burnetts.

    Who makes you shudder at the thought of 12 rounds of mind numbing boredom to warm up for your 20 quid main event.

    It’s a tough question and slightly unfair to be honest. Terry Flanagan, Ryan Burnett, good boxers, world champions. Boring for casuals. Tyson Fury is exactly the same.

    I suppose the answer is their opponents. If they’ve got top opponents then you’re going to get a dull but highly skilled boxing match. When they’re fighting **** opponents and can’t KO them then it’s grim.

    Any fighter than you know 99% of the time before it starts, before you even really know the opponent, its going to be a 10 or 12 rounds clear cut points decision. Normally a named powder puff puncher vs some stiff that he cant get rid of.

    Definitely Burnett. I've no problem watching guys that generally box there way to decisions because you dont need a KO for an exciting fight. But can't warm to Burnett, at all.

    Others would be:-

    McDonnell brothers - although I enjoyed Gavins last fight

    Crolla - Even though im a manc and hes had some good nights in recent times, just generally know its all going to be very basic, high gaurd, one two step back, survival opponent

    Jack Arnfield - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Chisora - turns up for paydays and not really bothered, Dillian Whyte fight aside

    There are more but those guys spring to mind!

    Anthony Crolla - bores the life out of me. Take away his thing with the burglary and he is one boring bloke and boring fighter. If you could draw up the perfect Joe Gallagher fighter it'd be him...

    Connor Benn - made my feelings about that little pleb known on here plenty of times, can't be doing with seeing the hype around him on a card to KO a tin can

    I think he’s a highly skilled fighter, one of the best from these isles currently operating...but Lee Selby. I have to be in the right mood to watch him.

    Used to hate Rocky Juarez on the under card of big fights in Vegas. Used to feel longer than a week in the jail waiting for it to end.

    Christoper Rebrasse, durable and feather-fisted, a promoters nightmare.

    Not really an undercard fighter atm but Josh Warrington fights put me to sleep. Is lucky to have that massive Leeds fanbase because stylistically not exciting to watch personally.

    It would be better if Sky just let him do commentary for one of the undercard fights rather than fighting.
