    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!

    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.
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    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.

    Lennox Lewis for sure. So boring. I just watched him and Rachman in their first fight. The commentators "Geez, I wish he'd keep his hands up! Why is he doing that?" BANG!!! LOL

    Floyd Mayweather Jr

    Winky Wright

    B-Hop

    Cory Spinks

    Wlad Klitschko
