    Couldn't disagree more with you on these 2.
    When I think of these 2 the word boring doesn't come to mind especially for Arce.

    vs. Fanni
    vs. Cordoba
    vs. Hussy both fights
    vs. Choi
    vs. Carbajal
    vs. Castro both
    vs. Alvarez
    vs. Makepula
    vs. Rojas
    vs. Concepcion (contender for FOTY, last yr. IMO)
    vs. Vic

    For Oscar:
    vs. Valenzuela
    vs. Maywethear (Jeff)
    vs. Avelar
    vs. Paris
    vs. Carter
    vs. Molina
    vs. Rivera
    vs. Quartey
    vs. Leija
    vs. Gatti
    vs. Vargas
    vs. JCC both

    who said Michael Moorer?

    Moorer at Light Heavyweight was a beast, was a world champ and moved up to become the undisputed heavyweight champion by beating Holyfield.

    He is in a class with Spinks and Roy jones Jr in that regard. Why would anyone say he was booring?

    Are we talking about current fighters?

    because that list up there for the most part must stand for the fighters last fights or something and not their entire career.

    Unless De La Hoya vs Quartey was a snoozefest...

    moorer vs cooper

    I'm gonna say Whitaker at 135. He was so dominant that after the 2nd round you knew he was gonna win, it became a matter of would it be a ko or decision... & more often than not it went the distance!

    Whitaker was a great fighter but never really created any excitement because he was so much better than everyone else!

    Virgil Hill....had a few surprises but mostly stick and move,rinse & repeat
    Derrick Gainer
    Keith Holmes
    Larry Donald
    Greg Richardson
    Melchor Cob Castro
    Richard Frazier
    Sven Ottke
    Lonnie Smith

    The one and only John Ruiz.
    Chris Byrd
    Winky Wright
    Cory Spinks
    I know I will get alot of hater's for this one but Bernard Hopkins.
    All of these guy's have been mentioned but they are the top dog's for the most boring fighter's

    1-Nikolay Valuev - not that i completely blame him, but he clearly just does not have any technical boxing ability therefore has to fight risk free and pour the jab in order to take a decision, valuev will never be value for money because the day he does decide to abandon his strategy he`ll get knocked out!!

    2-Sven Ottke - the most overrated boxer of all time and anyone that has ever seen him will also tell you that. Ottke would wrestle his opponent for 12 solid rounds and use every single trick in the book. He would also spend half the fight crying foul to byest german refs every time a solid punch landed. I swear to god when he fought robin reid the ref told robin to "stop hitting him so hard"

    3-Junior Witter - doesnt like to take chances despite his ability and even when he knew he was going to lose a decision against bradley he refused to take any chances. His fight agains corley was quite possibly the worst 140pound fight of all time.

    4-Audley Harrison - Boy this guy could talk the talk but when it came to it audley floped completely at heavyweight because he just could not pull the trigger and even in the face of complete adversity refused to adopt an approach that would of at least seen him lose with some grace.

    5-Matt Skelton - boooooooooooooring, all skelton ever does is wrestle his opponent onto the ropes and rests his head on them for 12rounds. Should of been thrown out against chagaev as it got borderline ridiculous.

    De La hoya is borin and one of the most overrated fighters in boxing history. Every time he steps up and fights a white or black fighter he loses, but he is mexican so let me stop talking about him before i get banned.

    If you mean the most boring fighters of all time then Ali would be on the list. He grabs and held just as much as John Ruiz does now.

    Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko are boring to watch unless you are a european and you enjoy seeing a 6'7 or so fighting fight a blown up cruiserweight and take 9 rounds to knock him out.

    Bernard Hopkins is pretty boring to watch usually.

    Lennox Lewis was boring to watch most of the time

    Joe Calzaghe was boring to watch.

    How about i just sum it up and say most european fighters are boring to watch.

    vs. Rojas
    vs. Concepcion (contender for FOTY, last yr. IMO)
    vs. Vic

    For Oscar:
    vs. Valenzuela
    vs. Maywethear (Jeff)
    vs. Avelar
    vs. Paris
    vs. Carter
    vs. Molina
    vs. Rivera
    vs. Quartey
    vs. Leija
    vs. Gatti
    vs. Vargas
    vs. JCC both
    vs. Carr
    vs. SSM both fights
    vs. Campas
    vs. Mayorga


    I think that is Jorge Arce's resume there Mick...He said Francisco Arce (Though he is mot even near world class caliber to even consider to be on the list of guys considering he is not a mainstream fighter for the opinion to be debated)...

    Now if it was Jorge Arce and he was on a boring list then I would suggest watching a new sport for him

    I don't know what's funnier.
    The fact that "Panchito" Arce is in ANY type of list in a boxing board or the fact that I thought it was Jorge...
    Thanks Daxx.
