Spinks Judah was a good fight bro...
Fair enough. I seem to have a blind spot for Zab Judah. I have a dislike for Zab verging in on irrational hatred. Therefore I forget all the good fights he's been in and remember all the bad!
I can't think of an exciting Wlad fight since his first against Samuel Peter about 6/7 years ago, but I can't think of an exciting Spinks fight since Mayorga which was about 10 years ago!

As mentioned earlier, Miguel Vazquez. Anyone that can make a fight with Canelo, Kim and Lenny Z that boring needs an award. At least Spinks had a few good fights, such as Mayorga. Vazquez could probably even make him look boring.
cant really blame one fighter for a boring fight tho. or else i could say pacquaio has been in a couple of snooze fests for his most recent fights. but thats not his fault at all.

Roman Karmazin @ Deandre Lattimore were both pretty good fights he really stood his ground more than he normally did plus always thought he didn't get enough credit for his boxing skills
kevin johnson,ward and floyd....
i am not trying to be a censor but i have gone over the 38 posts here and so far i am happy the posts are clear, objective and not laden with the negatives (you know what i mean)....
as to the thread......
i remember watching some wepner guy vs ali....and save for wepner's so called rabbit punch that infuriated ali.....the fight bored me
Chad Dawson
Yeah he's really boring because he has the skills to do a lot better but he's just lazy or something... Andre Ward and Bradley are also boring.
Chad Dawson
good call i think the first Johnson fight really Rosario'd him.
guy has all the tools to be dominating and exciting but seems indifferent to putting on a show or display of prowess. Seems content to stay in first gear in the slow lame far too much
The opponent has got to be half dead before he moves in for the KO. I can't think of anyone as boring as Wlad, i'm usually distracted with something else before the KO comes and i miss it.
Leave it to you to fault a guy who knocks just about every one out he faces.
Yep, he's boring, but he wins fights.
I was talking about currently active, but Ottke not a bad shout for most boring of all time, though I'm not sure if he does beat Cory Spinks.
Is John Ruiz currently active? I thought he retired after the Haye fight.
Did he? I have no idea.
Funny how they always seem to get to that state, too, isn't it?
So it's not good enough for you that he ko's damn near everyone that steps in front of him. Oh no! You've got to have a Brewster-Golota beatdown ko every time, right?
The problem isn't the ko, it is everything that happens before that, his opponent is so over-matched sometimes its ridiculous, but he lets the fight drag out. On top of that he holds an awful lot, and doesn't throw many combinations even though he can be a very good combination puncher, he has developed a style which makes him tough to beat so that is good for him, but he is awful to watch, I think boxing fans would just like him to be a little more adventerous, really put his stamp on a performance. You can see his own trainer trying to get him to open up earlier and more often in fights, and Manny even gets annoyed with some of his performances. Winning is important, the most important thing...but not far behind is entertaining the crowd. Wladimir very rarely entertains me.
I am not sure if Wlad is the least exciting but he is certainly the most frustrating. All you want him to do is throw a combination or 2...but it never comes. Only when he hurts the other fighter does he open up, and quite often he scores a 1 or 2 punch knockout anyway so you don't even get a really good finish or combination at the end either.
Ever since he got ko'd the first time he fights scared.
Mayeather is not boring, but is not particularly exciting either, he has been in some bad fights but the sheer artistry of the man is worth watching.

Are we talking least exciting of all time? Or currently active?
If we're talking most boring of all time, I have to go with Sven Ottke
But if we're talking about currently active, I have to go with John Ruiz.

floyd is not boring.
He's been in a lot of dull fights, but he's also been in a few crackers too: Jesus Chavez and Castillo fights were entertaining, Ndou, Hatton, Gatti and Burton fights had their moments too.
