These top P4P guys get a lot of stick for their style of boxing, being labelled boring a fair bit. I just want to know the current consensus from NSB on who is the most boring fighter of the 3.

Who is the most "boring" fighter out of Wladimir Klitschko, Mayweather + Andre Ward?

Wlad gets a pass from me because even when he's boring the **** out of everyone you still know he can deal out a devastating KO.

I voted Ward, every single fight is an exact replica of the previous.
Jab, jab, jab
Paw, jab
Jab, jab
*slips right hand, brings head back up like a battering ram and headbutts opponent*
*proceeds to spend the next minute wrestle-****ing*
Rinse, wash, repeat.

Only find Klitschko consistently boring out of those three.
Even his knockouts normally come about 3-4 rounds too late. To the point where its less brutal and shocking and more 'can we please just end this **** now'.

I voted Floyd. Wlad is a boring fighter as he fights the same way each time, but with Wlad at any moment he can KO someone or get KOed. So that creates some sort of little intrigue. With Ward he's more active and mauls and smothers and gets in their and fights. He's not going to KO anyone with one punch so his fights drag out and go the distance but I find him more active out of the other two.
Ok with Floyd, who has all the skills and abilities in the world is to content with being his normal defensive self and counter someone all night and coast to a victory. I'm a believer that if he was more active offensive he would get some KOs and be more entertaining. Being that he's the number one draw in the sport and has the most people watching he should try and be much more active and go or it more(KO) instead of just laying back and being defensive and just countering. Ill give Floyd credit for knowing how to build up a fight and generate interest but once the fight starts its the same style each time. The buildup to his fights are more intriguing than his fights and that's why I say Floyd is the most boring out of the threeLast edited by boxinghead530; 06-27-2015, 09:36 AM.

Ward and Mayweather have definitely had their duller fights.
All three have in common that they are generally a lot better than their opponents. Drama is often lacking. They all shut down their opponents offensively and defensively. When Mayweather has been in closer fights the excitement has been there.
If they had better opponents available I think they would be in more exciting fights.
Wlad is worse though imo due to the constant clinching. Ward tries to work in the clinch and Mayweather clinches a bit, but Wlad is excruciating sometimes..
