MadSweeney brought this up in a thread earlier discussing Mayweather & Martinez...

So Martinez who relies on his athleticism,he fights with his hands down, he sticks his chin out to bait his opponent, he has no real defense and this is impressive?

But Mayweather who also relies on his athleticism, but uses fantastic footwork, sets up traps, is an excellent counter puncher, is accurate, can fight in any style and adjusts to his opponents style is a ***** fighter?

Martinez isnt nothing more than a bigger, slower Prince Hamed with less skill and people say Hamed was overrated.

Sup with the double standards here?

its merely a matter of opinion bro. different folks have differing tastes. i could never understand the appeal of MMA fights for example, especially with their tendency to go grappling, but some folks don't mind it and find it entertaining.

so in the same way, whereas there are people who appreciate floyd's style of fighting, others prefer Martinez' style. just because a person hates/likes floyd's/matinez's style of fighting, it doesn't improve or lessen them as a fan.

Don't you know? If you don't Floyd's **** in every way possible, you're not a true boxing fan. If you aren't a fan of Floyd's fighting style, you don't know **** about boxing. You're just a MMA fan posting on a boxing forum. Doesn't matter if you appreciate other technical styles, its the Floyd style or no style at all. Duh!!!
