    Is BERNARD HOPKINS the most boring fighter in recent history?

    mayweather baldomir was slighty boring too some, i actually found mayweather/de la hoya action discent, mayweather did alot of moving because he was fighting guys 2 divisions bigger then him, mayweather has exciting fights more times then not, i mentioned mayweather before somebody else did.


    the most exciting fight ive seen hopkins is was william joppy, where he battered joppy for 12 rounds and that was still pretty boring

    I like his dirty tricks, there are a lot of fighters who are more booring, they are just not as famous.

      I found Hopkins vs. Wright to be very boring and very hard to watch, lucky the undercard was good. Hopkins needs to retire.

        I like watching Hopkins figure opponents out.

          I don't find Hopkins boring. Only the Winky fight because all of the damn clinching.

            Hopkins-Trinidad was pretty sweet... Hopkins-De La Hoya wasn't that bad either.

            Winky Wright might be up there, even though I love him... John Ruiz is one I've heard mentioned a lot.

            I think Cory Spinks might take the cake though.

              He's kinda digressed into this style as he's gotten older

              John Ruiz is/was definitely more boring

                Have you ever watched a fight of Hopkins before Joppy? Like Tito or Echols?

                  nobody should expect a fighter at 42 to be exciting. in his prime his fights were great to watch

                    Hopkins is very boring but Wright takes the cake for me.
                    His fights are at the point of not being watchable.
