I won't go as far as naming a great retired fighter, but in recent times I could name a few. But, one that truly stands out was a card that I attended. Hopkins vs Cloud at the barclays center. The main event wasn't the disappointment. The undercard was Keith Thurman vs Jan Zaveck at 154 lbs. I was very excited about Thurman and Zaveck had just loss his welterweight strap to Berto. It was a good boxing bout with plenty to offer from a purists stand, but I was expecting something else. Still, I was very impressed by Thurman in what I feel was his best win to date.Comment

Ali vs. Foreman. Great fighters, but it looked so staged, it looked like Foreman held back... Too much holding, no action and suspect match.Comment

Any Mike Tyson fight that went the distance, Mike was pretty boring if he couldn't take you out early, he was a spurt fighter who lost interest as the fight went on, he lacked the heart and will to overcome adversity in the ring and would give up if he couldn't intimidate you early. I have never seen Tyson with heart in the later rounds, Evander Holyfield is a guy with a large heart and bravery to win, Tyson would basically quit and just go through the motions if the fight went past 5.
Watch the Tyson versus Tucker fight man that was boring lots of grappling and it was sloppy. same with his fight with Mitch Green, lots of grabbing and not much ferocity from Tyson, he would allow the clinching and initiate it. Tucker was running and moving all night and Tyson couldn't cut off the ring he was just following him down and stalk him, while getting held in a clinch.

I was going to pick Pac/MAB2 and Pac/Mosley but you guys beat me to it.
I'll go with Carl Froch v Andre Dirrell...then again that Oscar winning actor can make anything and anyone look boring.Comment
