    Floyd running from journeyman bum Baldomir for 12 rounds was boring as hell

    Hopkins/Winky and Taylor/Spinks were very boring fights

        Wlad actually knocked down Ibragimov and tried to take him out....Ibragimov was crouching and leaning back the whole fight looking to counterpunch...Wlad played it smart and didn't take the bait, he kept dominating with his excellent jab.

        Wlad/Ibragimov was a lackluster fight, but it definitely wasn't as the bad the 3 fights I mentioned.

        Floyd/Baldomir, Hopkins/Winky and Taylor/Spinks were the 3 most boring fights of all time.

          At least Floyd showed amazing defense, and Winky and Bernard both showed great strategies to beat some of the smarterst fighters ever to hit the ring. I cannot honestly say I have watched the entire Wlad/Ibragimov fight. In my 2 attempts I haven't been able to sit through the entire 'fight'..

            i had a great time at winky/b-hop, but then again, I was it was a great atmosphere/undercard/ great seats, and a great experience so i was biased. plus my guy won and i made some loot!

            dude, of all time? there are TONS of boring fights from the decades past that top those 3 fights. some even top the HORRIBLE WLAD-Ibragimov slap, hug, shadowbox, jabfest... even my tv turned itself off multiple times during that one hoping it would end the torture....

                  PPV or not, I slept through these bouts:

                  Holyfield-Oquendo

                  Ruiz-Rahman

                  Now I keep them as my medicine for insomnia.

                    I'm a lil surprised noone mentioned Casamayor vs Corrales III. I dunno if it was more boring or upsetting.. I love both fighters, but Corrales reverted back to when he followed fighters mindlessly not cutting off the ring, and Cass didn't take advantage of it, he just tried to preserve his strength for the few big PPV events ahead of him.

                      LOL! Scott I used to put that one on when I wanted to take a nap. I would say most fights with John Ruiz should make the most boring list. The one when he got knocked out by Tua was his best one though lol
