Who's Style Do You Dislike?

i dont like huggy bears, so its ruiz for me ...

Audley Harrison definately has the worst style out of the bunch. The simple reason is that all the rest of them are successful boxers and their styles work for them, so I kind of understand why they use them even if they're boring. Harrison has an extremely boring style and it doesn't even work for him.

look, i understand that many on the board don't like Wright (that's what 90% of the board does, complain), but i don't care what you say, his style is a little more than simply "jab, jab, cover".. :rolleyes: First Brigaide Tank Detail = Ronald Wright. perhaps the toughest armored truck in boxing gaurding goods.

I have to say that I like Winky's style too. Its simple but effective as hell. He's a sleeper when I think of street fights. If he put his gaurd up and was tank commander in a bar. Forget that shit. A drunk fuck would wear himself out trying to hurt him and then he'd return fire and waste his ass. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

I can handle Ruiz and Byrd. Byrd fights like he does b/c he just don't have the power to hurt the bigger heavyweights. Ruiz fights like he does b/c he just... well, has no skills. But they both win more than lose b/c they'll do whatever their skills allow them to do to win. Byrd slaps and runs while Ruiz jabs and holds but at least they try to do what they think will get them a victory. This doesn't take away from the boringness of their fights but at least they try to win. Audley Harrision has the size, speed and built to be a very good heavyweight. He doesn't even try to win, though. He's blessed with all this raw talent and doesn't care about using it, which means he doesn't care about his fans... the people that are paying to watch him dance around the ring and only throw one simi-power shot per round. I just wish people with heart like the Byrds and Ruizs would be blessed with the talent and size that Audley Harrision has- then you'd probably see better fights. Oh, and this is my first post although I've been reading what you guys think about boxing for a while now. Justin's the name- this is the first site where people actually know and talk boxing- it's refreshing. Very good point. I agree on everything you say. I have to say that I like Winky's style too. Its simple but effective as hell.

Good one RWK, you have a way with words. :D he sounds like teddy atlas an shit :confused:

i sort of disagree with the statment about hopkins provided in the poll. i actually thought that hopkins did enough to win his last fight. out of this poll, harrison is my first choice - and not ruiz because it looked like he's actually starting to try to box a little more. t.o.s has one of the worst styles not mentioned. his whole plan, at least for the last few fights, was run, run, and run some more while hoping you're opponent tires. i'd sat williamson/byrd was about as boring as rahman/barrett.

yea, Audly is the new I guy I cannot stand. He's a big guy. That guy has power, BUT HE DOES NOT WANT his opponents hurt.

Good one RWK, you have a way with words. :D

I like Winky, RWW said it best. I thought his high-guard defense-then-counterpunch style won't work on a power-punching fighter like Trinidad, but he schooled him. You can't take him out: He's a highly gaurded escort tank. I'm also starting to think the J.C. Vasquez that floored Winky five times could kill an elephant with 1 punch. Sure his style has evolved, and he's moved up in weight but the guy is the best defensive fighter in boxing. To me.....Running away from people is not defense. Defense is blocking attacks with the gloves and arms, and Wright is better at that then anyone in boxing. Once again though he's armored. Soliman tried to overwhelm him with machine gun fire as opposed to mortar shells....and that didin't work worth a damn. The bullets grazed off his shield and he pounded Soliman's body like there was no tommorow. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

ruiz, no doubt. a totally unskilled, untalented, unlikable, and unpleasing to watch HW is what ruiz is.

Huggybear Louise hands down! His jab-hug-rabbit punch tactic is not only disgusting but illegal as well IMO. B-Hopkins is another boring fighter to watch. He does everything to win, smart fighter, but boring. I like Winky, RWW said it best. I thought his high-guard defense-then-counterpunch style won't work on a power-punching fighter like Trinidad, but he schooled him. I like JMM as well, but put him in the ring with a brave fighter willing to trade punches like Mantecas Medina, Licona and Pacquiao. Pair him with a scared opponent like Forrest Gump Gainer, Salido and Chris John and he'll stink the house down.

Only style I can't stand, is the style Morrad Hakkar used against Hopkins. That's not fighting or boxing, that's just fucking whack. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

guys who can't (or won't) fight on the inside The only guys that I really don't like are the ones who can't (or won't) fight on the inside. The 2 world class fighters that qualify in that regard are Wladimir Klitschko and Jermain Taylor. Another successful fighter that nobody gives a rat's ass about is Henry Akinwande, whose inside fighting ability was so bad that he got disqualified for holding against Lennox Lewis. Inside fighting and "pocket" fighting (as James Toney calls it) takes more overall skill than outside boxing because you need to learn how to defend yourself when your opponent is always within striking distance. You need to learn how to block and slip punches, use angles, use your arms and shoulders to block punches and also roll with punches that you can't stop. All the fighters that I regard as complete are inside fighters. Anybody who can fight inside or in the pocket can also fight on the outside but the converse is false. I've never seen Jermain Taylor fight worth a plug nickel on the inside. It hasn't cost him yet because of his height, reach, overall speed and strength but it will cost him some day. It's already cost Wladimir Klitschko 3 losses, and to my disgust, instead of taking the time and making the effort to learn the inside fight game he has resorted to holding, always a strong indicator of gross incompetence in inside fighting.

Yep, I have to admit, Winky's Turtle defense is something nice. lol. He stood still and let Tito pound on him and it was like someone throwing eggs at a tank. Man I was in total disbelief that he could pull that routine with Felix Trinidad. The guy has balls of steel. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

I actually enjoy Winky's style. Heh, yeah I do too. He doesn't shy away from contact, and is like a swat officer carrying a big shield that walks right toward you. He lowers the shield and fires, then raises the shield. It can get boring.....but it's pretty cool. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

These are the fightas that many times have disappointed me and actually made me go to sleep. Please vote. LMAO great descriptions, especially the one about Hopkins running from the cops because i thought the EXACT same thing both Taylor fights the way he was running from Taylor

I say Audley Harrison. I actually enjoy Winky's style.
