Now I have an excuse to drink

not all of them...they're pretty much all ******

just giving you a friendly reminder that your threads are the equivalent of watching a John Ruiz fight marathon


carry on

I tend to find them entertaining as he is rather unintelligent and easily trolled into an argument in which he always ends up showing just how ignorant he is. I do feel a little embarrassed for finding it entertaining though.

I don't mind seeing fighters with lesser boxing skills go toe to toe, that's fun too.

But fanboy's fall so in love with their idols, that they use his name in their sig etc.

They get their panties in a bunch and get real b1tchy & are sore losers.

I like a barnburner, but I can also sit back and enjoy a display or technical and tactical prowess

"Boring" just seems to be a term used for sore losers nowadays when they have nothing to criticize about certain fighters

[-PBP-]

Winning is boring. Like Larry Merchant said "There's no room for perfection in boxing."

[therealpugilist]

Not really. Boring means boring - doesn't throw punches, on the backfoot all the time, and/or clinches a lot.

I can understand that, but its no coincidence that the fighters are usually of the dominant, undefeated calibre fighters.


seems more like "wanting" to see a competitive fight or wanting a certain guy to lose to me

[madsweeney]

There have been so many ways to criticize fighters


the silliest is when trainers and fans call fighters boring

its not their fault their opponents and opposing trainers cant adapt to what they are doing


should they change their style, to entertain you? you may want them to or to make their fights more competitive, but they wont

its about winning and in a fighters mind, entertaining you is secondary, to winning and providing for their families

Its one of the weakest criticisms ever


I find it funny because all these fighters I've seen being dubbed as boring, are dominant, undefeated fighters who make it look easy

it was floyd mayweather and Wlad Klitchsko before, now Andre Ward, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Terrance Crawford, and Lara(the only one with losses)


the people who use this term, do you think its also the opponents, and the opposing trainers responsibility to adapt, instead of make excuses?

No, boring is reserved for fighters that specialize in avoiding risk and abuse fouls (which are not being called) to cheat their way to victory.

if there was boxing evening consisting of the last fight of each of the guys mentioned, i fail to believe any person in the world could stay awake

[The Hammer]

Referees should deduct points for excessive running and excessive holding.

Judges should not score rounds for cowardly boxers who run away from their opponents.

nope, this is the definition of boring by the english dictionary actually

bor′ing·ly adv.
bor′ing·ness n.

Synonyms: boring, monotonous, tedious, irksome, tiresome, andre ward

These adjectives refer to what is so lacking in interest as to cause mental weariness.

Something that is boring fails to hold one's interest or attention, often resulting in listlessness or impatience: "I had never watch such a boring fight".

What is monotonous bores because of lack of variety: "There is nothing so desperately monotonous as an andre ward fight" (James Russell Lowell).

Irksome emphasizes the irritation or resentment provoked by something tedious: "I know and feel what an irksome task the watching of a 12 round andre ward fight is" (Edmund Burke).

Something tiresome fatigues because it seems to be interminable or to be marked by unremitting sameness: "What a tiresome being is a man who is fond of watching andre ward fights" (Benjamin Jowett).

Quality post.

I just don't understand how people can be this dumb though??

I refuse to believe Canelomaidana, paulienuts, therealpugillist, larryxxx are more than one person.

i guess boring is in the eye of the beholder....I remember back in the day people labeled roy jones boring, but I found him entertaining.


the mini concert before fights, shimmy, shaking and dipsey dooing mid fight, and mind you, the guys was clowning world class opposition

it just seem like they were upset his fights were more competitive, but thats not entirely his fault.
