    A lot of boring fights has been mentioned. Let me throw in Any Sven Ottke fight except vs Mundine.

    Also Tyson vs Bonecrusher. Now that Was a terrible snoozer especially considering how little it Met expectations.

        Personally, I gotta go with Wlad-Fury
        Brad Solomon vs Demetrius Hopkins

          last rigo's fight was horrible, specially with his career in the air and the urgency of improving the way fans see him.

              Lara-Canelo easy. It was like 4/5am UK time and I was hyping this fight up to my mates and it was dog****e. Normally I don't mind boxers but that fight killed me.

                I wouldn't put Wlad/Fury on this list, if only because of the fact that it was the heavyweight championship of the world changing hands for the first time in a decade. I found it compelling. It was a crap fight though.

                Pretty much any fight with Rigo or Lara (other than maybe the Angulo fight). There were a lot of Mayweather fights that were boring as all hell, and Hopkins almost bragged about how boring a lot of his fights were. Wlad Klitchsko had more than his fair share of snoozers as well
                I didn't find Fury/Wlad at all boring, because there was so much happening in every round - though not a lot of punches were landing - and it never reached the stage of becoming predictable.

                Predictability is what makes a fight boring, that feeling you sometimes get that there is no point watching this to the end. You already know that it's going the distance and who the winner will be.

                Floyd vs Manny had that effect on me. I was dozing off after 3/4 rounds and I gave up trying to stay awake and went to bed half way through the 9th.

                Another terrible fight for me was Canelo vs Lara. Again, the 9th was as far as I got with that one.

                But I did end up watching the whole thing later. Not because I enjoy being bored out of my skull, but because I wanted to see if there was any justification for Lara screaming robbery. I thought he might have started fighting in the last 3 rounds and I'd missed it.

                But he didn't.
