Yeah well ... replace Tyson with Holyfield ... (in both decades) ... and you may have something there ...
... nothing about Tyson could ever be described as "fun" ... in the ring or out ...
... (except, of course when Holyfield knocked his sorry ass out) ...

Those werent real fights, it was wrestling or worse, voluntarily inflicted bodily harm by boxers. And look at what it did to both him and Ward. And for what? Did he have tens of millions when he retired? Did he have the brains left to use them.
What has any of that got to do with the most fun to watch.......

Lomachenko is just plain annoying to watch with all that jumping around ... switching from side-to-side ... popping up here and there ... peppering guys with shots from all angles and then dipping away only to pop-up somewhere else ...
He's like some god-dam whack-a-mole that's always one move ahead of you and you can never quite catch up with ...
.... and personally ... I'd like to see him get clocked by a slow, plodding, slugger with a lucky punch ...

Yes is matters cause if you had good eyes for boxing then you saw through it and saw it for what it was, WWE wrestling and then it wasnt pleasant to watch anymore. Gatti was the junkfood of boxing for boxingfans that didnt understand the sport.
You're nuts ...

Hands down the most idiotic thing I've seen on this site.. Gatti was a multiple world champion... you talk like he was a club fighter...that ward/Gatti fight got the general public talking boxing again....junk food? Gimme a freakin break.
