Who are the least entertaining fighters out there....
Cory Spinks
Carlos Baldomir
Matt Skelton
Sam Soliman
Jermain Taylor (Not in the Pavlik fight though)
Juan Urango
Those are off the top of my head.
There is an argument for Floyd Mayweather (Hit and Run) and Ricky Hatton (Hit and Hold) too.

Re: Who are the least entertaining fighters out there....
I don't think Taylor is a boring fighter he was pretty exciting early in his career, its just the fighters he was up against lately will make it a boring fight for fighter, aka Spinks aka Hopkins. I didn't think Wright vs Taylor was boring at all or Ouma vs Taylor.

I don't think it was that bad, it isn't a fight i would watch again but it wasn't awful. Like i said the fighters Taylor were up against aren't good fighters to look against and there styles aren't exciting except for Ouma, but he is awkward and Taylor's style didn't blend well with Ouma's, but take a look at Taylor's early fights then tell me if you still think he is a boring fighter.

Re: Who are the least entertaining fighters out there....
You can't fault Skelton for entertainment he's just pants thats all ;D
Although technically excellent Winky has always bored the pants off me :-\

Re: Who are the least entertaining fighters out there....

Otke - If he comes back we are guarenteed even worse than what we got 1st time .

If I can remember Taylor ran out of gas or got injured in the Ouma fight in the first half or something and then spent the second half just holding onto the points victory.
I haven't seen any of Taylor's fights before Hopkins and most probbably beacause I thought they would be the same as the ones after Hopkins but I'll check them out anyway but of late he's been boring apart from the Pavlik fight.

I agree with VD here. That wasn't that bad of a fight. I can't believe the punches that Kassim withstood. I have seen a helluva lot worse...

Yea, was going to say that.. Considering the shots Taylor landed on Ouma, you can't call him boring based on that performance, Ouma is one tough guy.

I think the worst ACTIVE are:

Spinks
Zahir
Briggs
M'Baye

Re: Who are the least entertaining fighters out there....
Is Derrick Gainer still fighting?
Definitely Zahir.
Timur Ibragimov.
Terrence Cauthen
Ponce de Leon bores me but I probably won't get many to agree with me there.
Ishe Smith
Rocky Juarez
Some others already mentioned.

Re: Who are the least entertaining fighters out there....
Ruiz immediately comes to mind.
The Taylor-Spinks fight was awful, but I actually don't mind watching Spinks in general, because I like slick boxers.
I find Hatton's wrestling to be incredibly ugly to watch.

Yeah but Hatton's wrestling came back to haunt him when he got WWE'd into the ring post :laugh: That was pretty entertaining; just ask VD.

Re: Who are the least entertaining fighters out there....
ruiz and zahir most def.
also sam peter, his not neccesarily boring. i just think a guy like him should be ferocious and much more entertaining, but for some reason he looks more like a fruit-cake then a nigerian nightmare :(
-
Re: Who are the least entertaining fighters out there....
Cory Spinks,
John Ruiz,
Bernard Hopkins.

Wow, 19 responses to this thread and no Dominic Guinn sightings
Is Audley even fighting any more?

Re: Who are the least entertaining fighters out there....
Wow I thought this would turn into a hate thread on me for a moment, VD, boozeboxer and p4pking if you didn't think Taylor-Ouma was boring then you must think Taylor-Spinks was average right???

NOT including Taylor vs. Pavlik....
Taylors last 5 fights were as exciting as watching a room full of elderly retired people playing Bingo. Even then I think if 2 old ladys went at it they'd put on a better show then any of those 5 fights.

I thought Taylor-Wright was a great back-and-forth, clash-of-styles fight.

No Taylor-Spinks was very boring. I just wish that both of them could have lost. But I blame Spinks MUCH more than JT.
As a previous post suggests (and perhaps I am biased), but I thought the Wright-JT fight was a good even match...albeit an awful outcome.

I don't, JT was the champ and he should be pushing forward and yet he never, Cory went in there and picked off his shots rather nicely even if the fight was boring.

Re: Who are the least entertaining fighters out there....
After fighting Calvin Brock and especially after Saturday night, I have to say Eddie Chambers. Hopefully that kid can get in the gym and retool (and get Buddy McGirt the hell out of his camp).
I don't necessarily agree with Zahir Raheem. His last fight on ESPN was a 1st round destruction and what he did to Erik Morales was a beaut.

What's wrong with McGirt AKA Fat ass with pipe, in his corner? I don't necessarily like McGirt, but he was tellin Chambers all the right things. Chambers just wasn't doin em.
