Who are your 5-6 least "watchable" world-class boxers on tv?
Mine are :
1 Rigo--most boring fighter of all-time.
2 Paulie Malinagi-he heats like a mosquito.
3 Felix Sturm-he only throws jabs,no power shots.
4 Jean Pascal-only fights in spirts like SRR used to do.
5 Devon Alexander-no power and grunts all fight.
6 Lara- he doesn't like getting hit at all and is too defensive. I loved the Angulo WAR though,so with him I can be swayed.
Note: I am going to watch them anyways as I love and support the sport but...Can they mix it up a little bit more?
With so many punching bags out there and cherry picking divas which none of are in your list, and not to mention a klinchko on your avi you have lost all credibility in this matter no reason to bother. Give me a fighter who can win against anyone, and that's always a fun fight most undesirable fights are the ones you know exactly who is going to win before they even start .
you do suck, you call yourself a boxing fan yet you dont even appreciate boxing which last time i checked was the art of hitting without getting hit. your the kid in this, getting all sad because i said you suck, not to mention your immature and unsophisticated views on the sport of boxing.
i would watch rigo fight anyone, that said him vs paulie would be a great fight imo. rigo is never boring, its when his opponents give up, stop throwing punches and just try not to get knocked out that his fights turn dull. thats on them, not rigo.
paulie would never do that though, dude is all about heart and work rate which would make for a tremendous fight against a sharp shooting counterpuncher like rigondeaux. paulie is never in dull fights, sure he doesnt deliver jaw dropping KOs but he comes to fight and let his hands go. if you know boxing and really think about it, its easy to see they would actually make for a good fight.
doesnt hurt anyone? pascal?
dude has serious pop, he doesnt knock more guys out because he plays it safe most of the time. you cant hurt hopkins like that with single punches without having top notch power. as for bute, he could have knocked pascal out, or he could have been knocked out himself. he wasnt willing to take that risk so he lost. if he could have knocked pascal out as easily as you claim he would have, in reality it wasnt quite so easy and very, very risky. he does fight in spurts i will give you that, but those spurts are generally explosive enough to make the rounds exciting.
punch-n-judy? im not from an english speaking country and have no idea wat thats supposed to mean. i do know sturm has power though, not big power but more than average. saying he couldnt break glass is pure ignorance.
The poll was about least watchable tv fighters. I can appreciate the beauty of a master boxer who fights defense first and has skills...but that does not make them tv friendly,at all. Rigo is a perfect example of this.
Wlad's a cool, classy guy and all that and it's exceptionally difficult to dislike him on a personal level, but the guy is the absolute pits to watch and has been for the last six or seven years. He was actually a pretty decent fighter to watch prior to that (his pasting of Byrd in the rematch is probably the last enjoyable performance from him.)
