Lewis-Quitali was too fuckin sloppy for me.

Lummox's most exciting fight was against Mercer.

 

We must agree to disagree

 

Trinidad:

Most exciting: Vargas
Lest Exciting: De La Hoya

 

Ah...you got there first :bears:

 

word.

 

Agreed on Tyson except I'd say Ruddock I actually.

 

Yup. I agree with you here.

Both Tyson & Ruddock were faster, and sharper in the first fight.

 

Yup. That fight had edge of your seat drama!! Ruddock was a BEAST in those days.

 

Cotto:

Most boring - Lovemore Ndou
Most exciting - Ricardo Torres

 

Having a hard time remembering that fight (other than that it was a rare fight that aired on TNT). But was it really more boring than Baldomir, Castillo II or Famoso Hernandez?

 

It was a dull and ugly fight. The punchstats had Floyd landing all kinds of shots, but in reality he had a tough time landing consistently against Rios's awkward style.

You can take your pick between Rios, Baldomir, Castillo 2, Goyo Vargas. I just chose Rios, but they were all pretty bad. The Famoso fight was ugly and boring too, although I did like the early rounds before Floyd hurt his hands. There were some nice exchanges early on, of course Mayweather was doing most of the scoring.

 

Juan Manuel Marquez
Most Exciting: Juan Diaz
Most Boring: Derrick Gainer

 

John Ruiz:
Most exciting: Tua
Most boring: too many to choose from, but maybe Rahman

 

I think Juan Manuels best fight is with Pac

 

agreed, Marquez-Pac 1 was an amazing fight to watch as it happened

 

I like the Juan Diaz fight better in terms of the overall action and the knockout ending but I can see why anyone would prefer the Marquez-Pac I. That first round and JMM comeback was pretty amazing.

 

De La Hoya-Vargas (exciting)
De La Hoya-Trinidad (boring)

Corrales-Castillo(most exciting)
Corrales-Casamayor 3( boring)

 

James Toney:

Most Exciting: Vassily Jirov
Least Exciting: Danny Batchedler


Roy Jones:

Most Exciting: Antonio Tarver 1? It wasn't an especially good action fight, but it was suspenseful enough when it happened.
Least Exciting: Eric Harding


Jermain Taylor:

Most Exciting: Kelly Pavlik 1
Least Exciting: Cory Spinks


Ricardo Mayorga:

Most Exciting: Felix Trinidad
Least Exciting: Cory Spinks

 

Ali:

most exciting: Frazier 3
Least exciting: Every fight not involving Frazier or Foreman.

 

i was trying to think of a boring rafael marquez fight, but can't think of one. same goes for jorge arce.

 

for Arce, it would have to be his fight against that Argentinean guy he fought right before Mijares. I forget the guy's name, but he was on TV last year and was just as boring.

You're probably right on Marquez, although he had an unnecessary rematch with someone that was somewhat dull, at least by his standards.

The one I'm struggling on is Israel Vazquez.
