It's in the Top 3 for sure. The only other fights I've seen that bad were Chris Byrd vs Davarryl Williamson and Wlad vs Ibragimov. If you were impressed, good for you. I prefer to see a guy win because he's skilled, not because the other guy just stood there in front of him not doing sh*t.

For instance there were moments in the fight when Fury had his left arm down by his hip. His right arm outstretched and holding onto the top rope, and Wlad just stood there looking at him...I mean you can't be any more open for a straight right hand than Fury was on several occasions in the fight, and Wlad just didn't even try to hit him with the punch.

We can agree that it was a boring fight. But lots of fights are boring. It's the nature of boxing. Some fights 50 years ago were also boring. You mentioned 2 that were quite boring. The Lee-Quillin draw was very painful to watch. I recently re-watched Leonard-Benitez, it was no thriller. Any fight involving 2 out of the 3: Bradley, Pacquiao, and Mayweather is painfully dull. Some people ONLY pick on HWs. It's like reverse discrimination.

What did you think of Tyson-Bonecrusher or Tyson-Tucker? Sure, I'd like more fights to be like Foreman-Lyle. A lot of Wlad fans are beaching because he was beat and are calling Fury crap and the dullest fight of all time. It's nonsense.

I never saw Tyson vs Bonecrusher or Tyson vs Tucker, but it's not solely Heavyweight bouts that are dull.

Miguel Vazquez vs Mickey Bey a few years back was unbearably awful. Juan Manuel Marquez vs Derrick Gainer sucked ass. Those along with the Heavyweight bouts I mentioned are some of the worst I've ever seen.

I find Tim Bradley's fights quite entertaining personaly, He's rarely in what I would call boring fights. Floyd is dull a lot of the time, but I find more enjoyment in his fights than the average Boxing fan does, I do find it odd that he became such a PPV draw though with his style.

I never particularly cared for Pac, but he's certainly not boring most of the time. His fights with Mosley and Clottey totally sucked though.

Fury is definitely crappy, I like him. He's a huge dude with balls(yeah, yeah), that's a big time heavyweight these days.

Wlad/Fury replaced page/Tubbs as the worst significant fight I've ever seen.

Have a look at Johnny Nelson vs De leon! That might just change your mind

Hopkins, Rigo, and Stinky Winky have all been in some sleep inducing masterpieces as well.

Seen it, dull, but skills were at least on display. Wlad/Fury was like a clubfight where the contract stated that nobody could hit each other.

The 2015 fighter of the year is Fury.

Both destroyed Eastern European men.


Coincidence?

I think not!
