Boxing would be a very boring sport if there was only "slick" fighters. Bernard Hopkins is a great fighter, but he isn't the most exciting fighter to watch. The fact that there are many styles is what's good about boxing. You have some guys who are defensive, offensive, both, etc. You choose which style you like and go with it. Some people like to come forward, some like to counter, etc. Plus it takes two to tango. When you get two slick guys in a fight you get Hopkins-Jones II or Hopkins-Jones I, for that matter. Boxing is about risks. Floyd Mayweather, the slickest fighter, has said many times, "I'm willing to die in the ring, are you?" Slick is fine but it still has to be coupled with the warrior mentality.

Some fighters r born with flat feet... As athletic as Cotto made himself, he's still a flat footed boxer when at his best
Than there r guys like Margarito, flat footed and not even gonna try to change
Some people have certain talents, others don't... Its how it always is
