Secondly - you are generalising in the examples you gave. Those fighters have plenty of entertaining fights, wins, knockouts. Have you ever watched Bernard Hopkins vs Glenn Johnson? Hopkins beat him from pillar to post, and stopped him, the only man to do so I believe.
Thirdly - IN ANY SPORT, defensive genius is admired and revered. Defence in all sports is an art, you might not appreciate it, but it has to be respected, and the difficulty of achieving it to a high level HAS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED. Some of the greatest sportsman/teams have been founded on a great defensive base, and have been ultimately very defensive teams/individuals.
Not only to you sound like a Noob to boxing, but sports in general. You spout off here all the time, and you are extremely outspoken for someone who knows so little. It comes across as obnoxious and very ignorant, and the really infuriating part is that these people are actively forced to educate you because you literally won't go away or tone it down.
'noob to boxing' lol, been watching it many many years my friend. Very few people who could educate me on boxing, wont find many on this forum who know more than i do. Yeah ive watched that fight against the road warrior, it was one sided but it was boring.
No. Fighters who block punches with their faces should ie Froch snd GGG, their is more skill blocking a hook with your nose and jaw than evading a punch, the scoring state should be altered too
The hall of fame should be a celebration of the sport. People moan about gatti being in there but why not? The guy provided many memorable nights, a true fans favourite. Fighters like hopkins, ward, winky wright have not provided a moments entertainment for anyone in their life really, so why should they be considered to be of 'fame'. Watch wright v hopkins and tell me thats a celebration of the sport... People will say, 'oh its the fighters job to get the win, thats all that matters' well no, the whole point of a spectator sport is for the spectacle to be entertaining, otherwise noone would watch it and noone gets paid. So what do people think? Should fighters who replace the need for general anaesthetic be deserving of a spot in the hall of fame? Or if not reason enough to completely omit someone, should entertainment value at least be a factor when deciding if they should be allowed in?
cites Gatti as a fan favorite, admits about moaning about Mayweather...what did Mayweather do to Gatti?

Abel Sanchez and Gennady walk into a mexican restaurant not too far away from The Summitt Gym, tells the waitress, ''I have the mexican style boxer, will I get a discount?'' Waitress says, ''should I be getting a table for three?''
