Default Who is your least favorite fighter to watch?

OK this is not meant to be a fighter bashing thread, but we all know there are just some fighters out there that we can't stand to watch for whatever reason and we have no idea why. I'll start out with a couple.

Akira Shoji - Good fighter, interesting personality...but most of his fights are just soooooo freakin boring to me. I have no reason to dislike the guy, but even on the Kamikaze card, on live pay per view in his fight with Gilbert Yvel I thought about changing the channel.

Tim Sylvia - He has talent....and is a big, strong dude. But when he steps into the octagon, his performances could cure insomnia. Sorry Tim but when you have that belt, you fight as if it's in a glass case behind you and all you're trying to do is keep your opponent away from it.

Ricardo Arona - This is coming from a Jiu-Jitsu student, Ricardo Arona is an extremely boring fighter in my opinion. The only time I like watching him fight is when his opponent has really good takedown defense, which usually means Ricardo is getting knocked out. Arona is a great fighter, but I hate his fighting style.

Brandon Lee Hinkle - I have no reason to hate this guy, but honestly....I can't watch the guy because he's so freakin weird looking. Is that weird for me to say? The first time I saw him, I was like "ok I''m not gonna be a fan of this guy"

Royler Gracie - I love grappling....I consider Kazushi Sakuraba one of the most exciting fighters in the world....and I used to think it wasn't possible for him to have a boring fight. Then I saw his fight with Royler Gracie. I guess it's possible after all.

So that's about it for now....once again I respect all of the fighters I mentioned. I just can't seem to find interest in their fights for whatever reason. I know everyone has a couple of fighters like that. What do you guys think?

Josh Haynes - Sloppy fighting and very little skill = one of my most hated fighters. I do not care if the guy has heart I can not stand to watch him fight bc he does not belong in any major organization.

As of late, Tim Sylvia. What makes it worse is that until Randy beat him I had to watch his lame ass for 5 rounds.

Sam Hoger: no matter who he fights it seems like he holds them in his guard for 3 rounds.

Kos and O'Brien for now. Hopefully they will pull a Rashad and become more well rounded but until then uh-uh.

Edit: Kan-Flo: can't stand to watch this guy pray for a cut to win.

I forgot one. Dean Lister. I know he's a phenomenal grappler, but in his fight against Yuki Sasaki he looked sloppy as hell after the first round. He seems like he's a good fighter as long as he can finish the fight in the first round. He got mauled by Marquardt.

Stephan Bonnar. I can't stand any aspect of his fighting game. The first fight with Forrest was great b/c they beat the crap out of each other but there hasn't been another fight of his I enjoyed. I believe he's a black black in BJJ but that's never apparent and he was a golden glove boxer but when has he ko'd someone? He just annoys me.

Josh Haynes, Tim Sylvia,

Lol.. boy am I going to hear it for this one... Matt Serra - Coolest thing that ever happened in one of his matches was him getting KOed by a spinning backfist..

Josh Koshcheck-Cant hate him for having a gameplan,but the guy just bores the shit out of me.

Tim Sylvia-Last few fights have all been the same only last time Randy found away around Tims constant jabbing.Maybe he'll change his style up a bit since he no longer has the belt?
