    Roberti duran
    A young floyd mayweather
    Even a younger hopkins
    Anthony joshua
    Errol spence
    Thurman
    Pacquiao
    Crawford apart from the postol fight

    And the list goes on and on

    You can be extremely skilled and be very exciting, Roy and tyson barely got hit and were very exciting. Even Pacquiao.
    If anything you sound like a casual who has no idea about the history of the sport

      have said it before, theres a few people on here who seem to think that liking the most boring fighters in the sport means they are a purist, and anyone who doesnt enjoy watching them is a casual fan. I genuinely cant see how anyone in the world could genuinely enjoy watching andre wards 'style'.

        Ok I don't get it. I really don't. Are people just labelling fighters boring because of who the fighter automatically is. Ward didn't fight like Crawford in his last night, he doesn't fight like Rigo, and he's got more in common with a younger Mayweather.

        He pressed the action, fighting on the front foot, fighting on the inside, setting up power shots with the jab, and landing some vicious right hands. . . But this is boring? . . . I can tell you what was far more boring than anything Ward did last night, was Postol's effort against Crawford, yet Crawford is the one labelled "Boring"

          Name a fighter that's boring that isn't skilled? Can you read?

          I didn't say name fighters you think are exciting and skilled.

            He's one of the most skilled. But yeah, IMO he's also one of the most boring.

                  wlad is up there, hopkins was boring for sure but i dont really count him as an active fighter. I'd still say wards the most boring out of that lot. algieri was quite entertaining against khan and provodnikov

                    wladimir klitschko, is boring and certainly didnt look too skilled against fury.

                      Is this a joke? Wlad is very skilled but is getting old.
