Who is the most Boring Boxer Today? zzz

[spine_buster]

I find Winky boring but not PBF.

[amat]

Well we gotta have the anti-clone to other threads too.

LIST:

1) Ivan Calderon - Usually on the undercards they showcase this guy to extend the PPV time so that they don't have to offer more fights.

2) Floyd Mayweather - If you thought Baldomir was exciting, you better have been apart of Floyd's posse and fought Zab's entourage in the ring.

3) Winky Wright - Can anyone figure this guy OUT!!!!

4) Bernard Hopkins - He sells tickets, but I think many buy them because Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins NAME sounds so threatening.

5) Almost every fighter in Heavyweight division. I'm not including Wlad here guys!


People that think Winky and Mayweather are exciting... haha, I will never understand you. YES you can appreciate the details they do and study them. But that's school work. haha Learning is fun and all.... but compare that to a Cotto Barnburner?


NOTE: This is not a talent contest, only a bore-fest!
Every guy on his is extremely talented, besides list number 5.

Calderon I haven't seen.

Winky Wright gets a bad rap because fe is a defensive fighter but he presses every single fight he is in. The Taylor fight was actually a really exciting fight and it was because of the pace that Wright set. He dictated that fight.

Floyd Mayweather is just spectacular. Jaw dropping. He may not be a "blood and guts warrior" but he is just a marvel to watch. His skills are exciting. His personality in the ring doesn't hurt either.

Hopkins, modern day, I can agree with. Uses more method and his head then anything else to win. Still wouldn't miss a fight of his if I could though.

audley harrison

The winner.

I also nominate Rolando Reyes and Mario Ramos.

I like to watch Floyd fight for the most part although the Baldo fight, the second Castillo fight and the Sosa fight were snoozers. Mostly I think he's fun to watch though. A lot of the time he fights in a similar way to Toney, at least IMO. I don't see how anyone could think Toney is boring.

Calderon's great to watch IMO.

Hopkins is one of my favorite fighters, he used to be amazing to watch. Now I can see why some don't like watching him fight, it is a bit too much throw the right hand lead, duck in, grapple. But check out the Echols fights, the Glen Johnson fight, pretty much anything up to and including the Tito fight.

I'm a bit in the middle on Winky. I don't love watching him fight, its a bit repetitive, not as flexible a fighter as a Mayweather or a Toney but I do like watching him a lot more than some people do. He does usually make the fight, why he was the boring one in the Taylor fight is beyond me. It must just be a lack of power cause Taylor was more negative in that fight than Winky, and is more boring in general IMO.

For most boring fighters, a lot have been mentioned. Audley, Amat's two picks were good with Reyes and Ramos. I'd throw in Koba Gogaladze, seriously you die a little bit everytime he's on TV. Terrence Cauthen, I like boxers but he literally doesn't throw punches. Juan Urango just bores the shit out of me, yes he "makes" the fight but he does it by walking forward and throwing one punch every 25-30 seconds. I'm sure I could think of others but I'll go with those for now.

[El Kabong]

I think Zab Judah is boring he has the skill and talent to be great but no heart and no desire and he takes all his skill for granted....Floyd Mayweather Jr. does just enough to win sometimes and it pisses me off but I can't blame him due to his hand issues and the fact he just doesn't have power at 147....when he does throw combos he does pretty good

I find Winky boring but not PBF.

I wouldn't go far as to say Winky is a boring fighter but I wouldn't say he is one of the most skilled either. Holding his gloves up in front of his head and taking potshots at his opponent most of the time doesn't take much skill to do and it even seems one dimentional, though definitely they're effective and that what matters - you've got to give him credit for that. You only need long and strong arms, and be a bit 'barefaced' to do it.

[El Gamo]

I wouldn't say PBF is boring at all but his fights at 147 certainly have been. Other than that though,he's had quite a few good fights and the beat downs he gave to Ndou and Gatti are awesome!

Calderon has been getting boring as of late because I'd like to see him fight someone worth while but usually,his skills are a marvel to watch.

I don't know,Winky,umm,I watch his fights when they come but it's from a technical standpoint rather than for excitement,I don't know,there's an appeal there.

Bernard,I enjoy B Hop's fights even when he slowed down late rin his career. He methodically breaks down his opponents and is constantly thinking,a true master tactician so again,a bit like Winky,there is an appeal there because I like thinking fighters as well as blood and guys type fighters too.

Most boring...hmmmmm.....umm,I'll come back to that because I don't really know of any fighters that I think are really boring apart from the ones already mentioned!

Anyone who punches and falls into holding as they lunge forward with their shot, over and over again.

Yeah, I know. But the thread is about boring fighters not skilled.

unfortunately he has retired

[AirJordanIV]

sorry guys but winky is definitely tops
he's a defensive genius
if he ever opened up his guard like how pac does, winky would get dropped
I guess that's why winky is a defense wiz and pac is mr. excitment
floyd 1 pac 2 winky 3 for pfp
floyd did what he could against baldomir...but it wasn't boring to me
floyd uses footwork, head movement, and intelligence to avoid puches
winky just blocks and absorbs and that equals boring
