help defeat the cancer that defensive boxing is?
to be clear, would smaller rings force defensive fighters to engage more and run less?
make it happen doe
The bigger rings make it easier for runners for sure. A real fighter would fight in a phone booth any day.
I agree with another post. 18 foot ring and that's it. All day long.
Then you guys will just cry about guys like Wlad and Ward...oh wait :lol1:.
Just be honest, you want the "bad" guy to stand in the middle of the ring so the "good" guy can beat him. I think I know the right boxing events for you. They do these cards where they fly in cab drivers and truck drivers from other countries and then they (usually) get ktfo by hometown guys so the audience can feel like their country is great at fighting. That or like others mentioned, BKB.

18 ft is plenty of room. Rumor was that ring that Chino and Floyd fought in was 22 to 23 ft. If that's true WOW!
That's why I said in the one thread Algeri would beat Maidana in a ring that big.
I'd be cool with a uniform 18ft ring for all boxing.
N'Dam was able outbox Stevens in that size of a ring, and Algieri beat Provo in that size of a ring.
No need for any bigger imo.

moving out of the way of a punch makes you a coward huh? i never knew that!!!!
It's the whole point of boxing. Hit and don't get hit. Excessive running does get boring and is not boxing, it's survival. But if your talking about Floyd or Master Rigo GTFO!
They are Master boxers. Don't get it twisted because you read my post on other threads picking on Floyd groupies. I don't like any groupies period. I just happen to agree with the Pac groupies right now on the whole fight situation.
Floyd might be afraid of Pacquiao but he is an ATG just like Pac.
