    For me, it would have to be the Carlos DeLeon vs Johnny Nelson WBC Cruiserweight title fight in 1990.

    If anyone remembers this (and if you do, I feel sorry for you) then you had in Nelson a fighter who wouldn't throw punches and spent all 12 rounds running from DeLeon. DeLeon was past it and didn't have speed of foot/hand/mind to do anything about it.

    The fight was scored a draw, whilst really DeLeon should have won. I scored his slow shuffling foward better than Nelsons running.

    Nelson was the most boring fighter on earth.

    Hopkins-Winky was pretty bad, I think it was something like 146 clinches in 12 rounds.:tired

    But he was still one of the first guys to truly rock and hurt Tyson.

    I agree with DeLeon-Nelson being the worst.
    I dont think a fight can be worse than that.

    The only two in modern times that could compare would be Nelson/Warring and Breland/StarlingII. All-time; Jackson/Corbett was meant to of been grim, I guess we do have a small blessing with fights only going 12 now a days.;)
