most boring fight you ever seen

[pablothunder]

As much as I love Johnny Nelson- you'd have to pay me to watch those fights again.

Then why do you love him so much?

I knew love was gonna be jumped on.
I watched loads of Johnny Nelson fights on TV. He combined quite cool moments, a wise approach and an admirable demeanour- in overall unwatchable fights.
He's naturally clear and insightful when recalling his boxing experiences, that's a bonus for television pundit.
But overall, no, I don't as such, love him.

Friend of mine sees him on a regular basis due to him going in her shop, she has his number and he has continually promised her tickets to see them making ringside. I asked her yesterday to take him up on it the next time they have a big name on there.

Rover, your memory served you better than mine. I was trying to forget it anyways. Luckily for us both, there seems to be no readily available footage for us to relive it.

I have it, actually; ABC with Cosell on the call. Awful fight.

I think Cosell began contemplating retirement from calling boxing when he was assigned to announce crap fights like that. Certainly not "Down Goes Fraz-uh!"

the most boiring toplevel fight I have seen live was Alex Arthur vs Nicky Cook, for the WBO superfeatherweight belt i think it was. it made Witter - bradley look like Castillo - Corrales

What did it make Judah-Witter look like? Never saw Cook-Arthur, but I had the misfortune of seeing Judah-Witter. Barrrrrrrrrf!

btw ... what a depressing thread.

Neither Arthur nor Cook were anything near top level.

i simply meant in terms of it being a 'world title fight'.

The Audley fight against that fat cruiserweight on the UC was pretty dire.

[Jaywheel]

All of Otis Grant's wins when he came back after his car accident. Yawn. Think I fell asleep on 3-4 of his fights. The beating he got to the hands of Andrade was a better fight though.

Lewis-Tua

It takes more than a left hook and a bad haircut to entertain you?

I actually don't mind that fight - I think it's a pretty impressive piece of boxing from Lewis who boxed beautifully, if cautiously. Tua's performance was dreadful, though.

Johnny Nelson against Deleon & Warring are the first one's that spring to mind, but almost every Wlad Klitschko title fight qualifies and a good handful of Bernard Hopkins fights as well. Those boys really know how to make a man's eyelids droop.

Hopkins and Wlad's fights are certainly far from thrilling, but I've seen worse fights than there's.

Worst Wlad fights I saw were the Ibragimov and David Haye fights.

Hopkins' two fights with Taylor were dull, although the first one had some dramatic moments towards the end. His fight with DLH was awful, the 3rd fight with Robert Allen was dull as hell.

I'd say the two Pascal fights and the Tito fight are the most exciting he's been in, The Cloud fight wasn't too bad either.

Vanderpool and Holmes...yawn.

you all lose it was skelton vs sprott 2 i literally fell asleep (i mean literally and not figurativly)

Hands down winner!
To my memory I'd also have Eubank vs Rocchigiani, Hopkins vs Wright, Ali vs Bugner II, W. Klitschko vs Sultan Ibragimov. My God that was awful!

Rover Vs Saad got pretty dull towards the end.
