Yeah for me the trouble has been the best middleweights in recent years, namely Hopkins and Wright have not been exciting fighters to watch. B-Hop has always had a very mechanical style that is defensively brilliant but not exciting and Wright maybe even more so.

I can appreciate that those with better boxing knowledge than myself or real ring experience (of which I have none whatsoever) will see things in Wright's and Hopkins' styles that I as a purely armchair fan will miss.

But I much prefer fights where there is real action, measured in terms of punches landed, knockdowns and blood, rather than feints, blocks and jabs.
