If ANYONE here finds a boxing match BORING you shouldnt be called a boxing fan

I notice the TS shamelessly ducked my question. I can only conclude that he isn't a real boxing fan like he professes to be...

The same guy who was convinced that juanma was fighting jmm next has become the ultimate authority in boxing and it's fans. Brilliant.

Im sick of all these wanna be fans saying OH FLOYD IS BORING, B HOP IS BORING.....hell if you think hes boring your not a fan of boxing. I dont find any match boring. I found B Hop RJJ 2 fkn fun to watch. I was excited. This BS has to stop if there are REAL boxing fans complete rubbish. some fights are boring, usually klit fights.

You didn't think this through, did you?

This is bollocks. I like cars, but I find some of them crappy. I like music, but I don't want to listen to every artist. Etc etc...

Either way he meant it, he's wrong. What the hell gives him the right to define what a "true" boxing fan is? Some people only like watching certain fighters, nothing wrong with that. You can still be a boxing fan. If you prefer Mike Tyson style knockouts, that's absolutely fine. If you prefer Mayweather style defensive fighting, great. But just because you are a snob about defensive perfection doesn't make you superior to any other person who watches. Agreed. I just think the TS may have not have meant exactly what is written..otherwise as I said he is delusional. There is nothing better than seeing an all out war between two great fighters such as Morales v Barrera or Morales v Pacman I, but alot of people are ignorant to the skill of defensive technique.

Also, I must ask those who are all about the "brawls" a question. Some of you are under the impression that boxers are supposed to fight to please you, and so I must ask; Do you believe Ali would trade some of those "exciting" moments in his career for the return of his health? To be given back the ability to hold his children and grand children or form coherent sentences? What about Joe Frazier or Tommy Hearns? Evander Holyfield or Riddick Bowe? Meldrick Taylor, Donald Curry or Bert Cooper? Perhaps a few of them could have retained the futility of their minds if only their fights were a little more "boring". That doesn't matter, they did it of their own free will. No one ever said it was fair.

Can a boxing match be boring? Of course. Every sport has its dull moments. However what most people call boring, in the context of what boxing actually is, isn't really boring. It's a technical boxing match. Personally, I prefer the technical match ups to the brawls, but both have their places. But what I fail to understand is how boxing fans can find what fighters like Mayweather and Chad Dawson do boring? What those men do in the ring is nothing short or amazing. Truly beautiful.

This BS has to stop if there are REAL boxing fans I think I see where you are going with this but think you just might not have phrased it correctly. If you are referring to the posters who dont appreciate watching defensive based fighters such Bhop, Mayweather, Whitaker etc as not true boxing fans by hating on them just because they cant appreciate the artform that is defense then i understand and agree. BUT if you are saying that every single boxing match is exciting then you are delusional. I am a massive fan of BHOP and love his craft but the second BHOPvRJJ fight was not thrilling. Also you can be a fan of a sport and find certain matchups boring. I am also a massive soccer/football fan but you get some very boring games.

If a fight is boring, 75% of the time it's a bad style match-up. I don't think there is one confident, well-schooled fighter out there who would look boring against any opponent, any night out. Conservative fighters look like knockout artists against scrubs sometimes, and guys who are considered good punchers often accomplish little against against opponent who's style they can't adjust to. When a particular fighter seems to be in boring fights a lot, it's usually because their skill set is amatuerish and/or they lack confidence.

Go watch Kendall Holt vs Ben Tackie and come back here to tell me if you were on the edge of your seat or not.

Yeah, let me ask the TS a question. If he happened to see a low-level clubfight between two overweight, unskilled, shot-to-shaggery heavyweights which consisted of little more than endless clinching, wild sloppy haymakers and one fighter quitting on his stool after three rounds because he felt a bit tired and his nose hurt... if he witnessed said fight in the knowledge that both fighters were sanctioned professional boxers, would he say like the rest of us non-boxing fans, "This is terrible!! Give me my money back!!" or would he, like the real boxing fan he is, stand up politely clapping and remark, "I say chaps, jolly good show. What a smashing display of pugilistic fisticuffs, what what?" and then proceed to ram his fist up his rectum whilst crossing his eyes and making donkey noises?

Some boxing matches suck and are boring thats just a fact. U must not have seen Anthony Small vs Thomas McDonagh rite!?

Fine, but can I still call you a legend? yea you can. thanks for the compliment

Fine, but can I still call you a moron?

Gorilla Dog's been pawned. Lol. not really son. i havent been reading this thread. too long to read son

I love defensive fights or chess match fights, actually more then all action fights. Fact is some fights are boring, Dirrell v Stevens is a prime example. To cast a judgement based off your opinion makes you a fool.

boxing as a sport is not that too complicated to learn the different aspects of it. like any other sports, boxing is a form of entertainment or a leisure activity after a hard days work to its fans. and as boxing fans, some like the knockouts, toe to toe battles and other offensive displays as entertaining fights while some prefer the defensive types, less explosive but offers a lot of the so called sweet science of boxing. it's just a matter of choice and does not prove anything about what kind of a boxing fan you are.

have you seen wlad-ibragimov? Worst fight I ever seen, three people watching with me truly fell asleep during the bout, Wlad then says "I won't take any chances" after the bout, that was a disgrace and the reason they can't get on real TV in the US.
