    Hahahaha. Fields throws punches like a bitch thats for sure. I think Valuev would KO his a** though.
    Let me see if I can add another boring match to this discussion...
    How bout Sechew Powell vs. Cory Spinks?
    Or Andre Dirrell vs. Markus Beyer?
    Dirrell-Beyer's not bad, telling you I'm searching for people that can even partially live up to Dirrell's shittiness, its hard work. Beat you to Powell-Spinks, guess were thinking along the same lines.

    If they were only the same size, how boring would Viloria-Rocky Juarez be, there the same fighter, there so ambitious and energetic

    Juarez-Chris John wouldn't exactly be a thriller.

    Did they actually follow through with Henry Maske-Virgil Hill?

    Yes. And Maske won, and it wasn't pretty. Ring magazine did an article on it, but they made it sound like it was decent fight I guess.
    And Dirrell was horrible running against Curtis Stevens, but I've seen him in other fights b4 that and he wasn't near that boring. Plus the poor guy's brother is suffering from cancer and is also a pro boxer. So we should cut Dirrell a break somewhat. He was BORING against Stevens though, just saftey first all the way.

    Peter Manfredo v anybody
    i mean the guy has one thing in common with Michael Jackson -
    they both wear gloves for no aparent reason !!!
    i really think Manfredo plain sucks , in fact he both sucks and blows at the same time.

    Sopme of the worst I've seen:

    Joel Casamayor Vs Armando Santa Cruz:
    I was rooting for him, but it was a terrible fight followed by a terrible decision.

    Derek Chisera vs. Tony Booth:
    The greatest farce of a contest I have ever seen On the undeercard of Calzaghe-Manfredo this was a disgrace.

    Calzaghe Ashira:
    An ugly one sided fight

    Calzaghe v Bronco Sabot
    in fact look at some of the bums Calzaghe has defended againest
    then check there records after him , and u will see how undeserving they were.

    Once again the Calzaghe debate begins
    I've gotta say, that at the time Calzaghe was on the way up and even defending his wbo title, the SMW division was nowhere near as deep as it is today. He defended against whoever was put in front of him and put on some great displays. Had Calzaghe been a fraud he would have been exposed against Lacy or Kessler. That didn't happen, instead we saw him confirm his skills against Lacy, his ruggedness against Bika, his class against Kessler and even hisdrawing power against Manfredo. It's hard to fault the guy now.

    Style-wise Hopkins - Calzaghe has the makings of being horrible to watch.

    WHen he beat Joey Spina's ass, that was pretty entertaining though.

    one of the most boring fights I've seen (aside from RJJ v. Hopkins 2) was Taylor v. Spinks. The prefight between Pavlik and Miranda blew the main event out of the water and it was just boring.. and i usually enjoy watching technical fights but this one just put me to sleep

    RJJ v Toney
    Trinidad v ODH
    Bradley v Alexander

    Big fights but stylistically terrible fights.

    Meldrick Taylor vs Terry Norris. Norris was bigger, stronger, at least as fast, a harder puncher, a better boxer, and Taylor was just so easy to hit.
    Ray Leonard vs Terry Norris. Leonard was past it, and I think he was betting on Norris being chinny, which he was, sometimes (like when Julian Jackson or Simon Brown hit him, but no much otherwise), but he was always fast, a good boxer and puncher.
