Yes we ALL know that 'Styles make fights'
So why do a lot of posters say it so often?
Its like any discussion about a future fights always has one poster saying:
"Styles make fights"
WELL DONE, EVERYONE WHO FOLLOWS BOXING KNOWS THAT!
and everyone on Boxing scene surely knows this Obvious fact.
So why do people still say it?
Is it to make them sound like experts or something by stating this OBVIOUS fact?
Just had to get that off my chest! :bottle:
Maybe because some posters still don't understand that style makes fights. Because, some posters use the triangle theories so much without realizing that styles make fights...

Styles definitely makes fights...
Another thing that I have noticed over the many years of watching boxing is that not only does styles makes fights, but fighters dont change their styles. They just try to perfect their style of boxing. For example, Evander Holyfield has always been a boxer/puncher. He never changed his style of boxing when facing any opponent, he just continued to get better at being a boxer puncher. He never tried to switch styles and become a defensive counter puncher during his career. Floyd Mayweather, is a defensive counter puncher who relies on speed. Floyd would never switch styles to become a boxer/puncher. Shane Mosley is a versitile boxer puncher, I cant imagine Shane ever become a defensive counter puncher. There is only one fighter that is an exception to my rule: Bernard Hopkins. Hopkins started off as a boxer/brawler, as Hopkins progressed through his career, he became more a boxer/puncher as seen in his fight with Trinidad, then to a defensive counterpuncher as seein in his fight with Tarver. Hopkins has definitely changed styles during his career according to his opponents strengths and weakness and he has been great at it.
They say it 2 nullify a terrible performance from a fighter capable of performing better, take the Baldomir/Mayweather fight. No one in their right mind is knocking big boy baldy out so Mayweather had no choice but to put on a masterful performance but fail to entertain his audience. In the fight on May 1st Mosley has the skills and will to compete against Mayweather and actually make Mayweather fight to to a level we have not seen since his fights against Castillo, Corrales and Chop Chop Corely. So again style make fights and Mosley has the style to match Mayweather style and we the fans should benefit
good post, im expecting May-Mosley to be very entertaining.
Styles make fights!!
