The least entertaining world class fighter?

[kiaba360]

B-Hop and Wlad.

[SnakeVen0m]

Even though I respect and recognize his craft, Ward.

[New England]

miguel vazquez.

his style is so bad judges give opponents rounds, even when they aren't landing more effective blows.

holy f#ck are vasquez fights awful. now that le bron has left the building, vazquez is the best lightweight in the world.


there's another very good lightweight without much of a style, and that's richard abril. he's much better on the eyes than vasquez, though.

[New England]

If we're going by world champions (assuming those are classified as world class) I'm thinking Alexander and Bradley by a country mile. Those two stink the place out every time. After that Hopkins for me. Can't stand his style. He's a legend and all, but goddamn son. Put me to sleep.

Below them are guys like Ward, Wlad, Rigo and Mayweather. I used to enjoy watching Mayweather fight, but his last couple of fights have been boring as hell.

these are the four best pure boxers on the planet.

hopkins has the skills, but he's badly faded at this point.

I'm not doubting they are highly skilled, and I respect it. But that doesn't mean they are entertaining to me?

It's interesting that the fighters most of you found not entertaining are pure/technical boxers that don't rely on power or ko's alone. I would think that on a "Boxing" site the skill required to "BOX" on a World class level would be held in higher regard. I personally find the science involved as entertaining as the brutality of the sport. To each his own. But it kinda feels like the comparison of the value of the "Jump shot" vs a "dunk".

I would rather watch Vazquez than Abril but if those two ever faced I doubt the judges will be awake to score it.

[Weebler I]

Lol the real question is who do some of you guys find exciting?

Maybe this question was rhetorical, but I'll answer it anyway. I'm not a "fan" of all these fighters but they are mostly exciting to watch.

Maidana, Matthysse, Pacquiao, Froch, Khan, Golovkin, Ortiz, Pascal, Kessler, Quillin, Cotto, Judah and Haye.

I can appreciate technical skills but the Klitschkos just wind me up with their enormous size advantage and timid jab n grab tactics.

Alexander is a hard watch too but then I'm not convinced on his credentials as world class.

Vitali fights nothing like that. I think you should say Wladimir, and not the Klitschkos as the pair

I think it's the nature of the HW division in general. It's a frickin' clinch-fest in there.
