Do fans discrimate against pure boxers? and over raise punchers ....

[MOTHER DUCKER]

It sickens me that pure boxers like froch and hatton don't get the credit they deserve

[DET. IRONSIDE]

I love a good KO artist but when you sit down and watch 12 rounds of hurt. Nothing beats boxing in terms of art.

People LOVE to see KOs though, me included.

I say for the casual fan yes. You never see on sports media a boxing lesson but you will see some getting KTFO. Me personally I appreciate all boxing in general but KO artists are more exciting to watch.

[The Hammer]

Thanks for the post. Do you think pure boxers should get more respect then they're getting because of this?

I think the one who master both offensive and defensive skills deserve the most respect.

Runners will never be popular.

I'm getting tired of the term "pure boxer"

[joelab75]

i need to know what is a pure boxer? because i think they are all just boxers. brawlers are boxers. technical fighters are boxers. defensive fighters are boxers and offensive fighters are boxers.

[Carpe Diem]

Those guys are true masters. They truly the display the art of the sport.

[Kevin Malone]

I don't think so really, unless you are talking about the casual fan.

[sicko]

Of course they do because they don't understand WTF they are watching, clearly they always miss the part when the Ref tells the fighters at the Beginning to "PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES"

getting punched in the head over and over because you have no defense or head movement that is not "HEART" that is ****in stupidity

if I am faster then you...why in the **** would I just stand still and let you hit me back, it takes two fighters to make a GOOD FIGHT, I can't blame the Boxer for making the fight boring when it is his opponent who is actually making the fight Boring because he can't do ANYTHING

Boxers vs Brawlers are always Boring, because you usually get one guy sticking and moving and the Slow Flat Footed Brawler Swinging at Air for most of the fight, then people go crying about how the Boxer "Ran"

Fans are SUCKERS when it comes to Power, but Power is extremely overrated in boxing ESPECIALLY if that is all you depend upon

Nah, I don't think you will get an answer let alone a clear one about what this TS thinks a pure boxer is. These fans of Floyd think he's a genius in the ring. Man if you have few quality fights out of forty one, that really doesn't mean much. You are presented with an opponent whom fans all over the world will prove your worth, but all you do is duck. What does that say?
