A great cure for insomnia is a boxing workout every day for an hour and since you know everything about boxing. Step in the ring with a short, fat dude whose been doing this for awhile. Being humbled tends to help you sleep better too. i don't want to embarrass a short, fat dude like you. i'd rather watch boring fighters to put me to sleep. carry on...

At one point Lara became mandatory to Floyd's 154 title. The Cuban called him out and the first thing that came out of Floyd fans' mouth was he's too boring, he don't bring no money to the table. Floyd needs money fights. As if they get 10 bucks from the proceeds. https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=683336

How dare a fighter uses defense,angles and distance and outbox another fighter instead of running around the ring like a marathoner ^^^^^^you got that right my braduh! :afro:

Point was you don't support defensive fighters and insult others with different styles at the same time, and when your idol himself avoided fighters similar to his style.

Floyd fans would have at least expressed interest in it and supported Lara's challenge. I for one would have bought it. It's a chess match between sweet science guys. I didn't hear any of that coming from people who purports to support these kinds of fighters. Respectfully, you are taking the answer to one question and applying it to another question. Floyd only fought above 147 for the money. So he wasn't going to fight Lara or any other 154lb contender-ODh, Canelo and Cotto, thats it. As for Floyd fans, at this point the more desired fight was Manny. I don't think you or anyone else would tout a Floyd/Lara fight over Floyd/manny. Lastly, you shouldn't assume posters support "these kinds of fighters" based on retarded posts you see from posters that are known idiots and not respected.

You are greatly distorting things and taking what maybe one poster said and applying it to all floyd fans. Floyd fought above 147 3 times-ODH (154), Cotto (154) and Canelo (152)-each time going up for a big money fight and then coming back to 147. He never was going to defend any of those titles against any of the ranked contenders. Floyd fans would have at least expressed interest in it and supported Lara's challenge.

Your last point would have more validity if these "boring" fighters also fought each other. In all honesty, whats the last fight you recall with two defense first, slick boxers going at it, and how entertaining was it? At one point Lara became mandatory to Floyd's 154 title.

what is there to like. it makes no sense. surely the whole reason of watching boxing is to learn the sweet science, so why would you support fighters who dont provide this? Or is there another reason why people passionately defend fighters that are exciting? For those who are massive fans of safety last, postive fighters, please tell us why that is.... pls no trolling, i'll put you on ignore! personally, i like watching fights where i can just chill, get a drink, have a poo or talk on the phone

There aren't "alot" of these boring fighters but plenty in the top teirs right now, more than I recall in the past 20 years. Floyd is an anomaly for success, I was referring more to winning, not popularity/earnings. Your last point would have more validity if these "boring" fighters also fought each other. In all honesty, whats the last fight you recall with two defense first, slick boxers going at it, and how entertaining was it? All my point is that extremes in either way (face first offense, or overly defensive/avoiding action) are not really "exciting" fighters, what makes this sport entertaining to me are finding those rare fighters that blend the two well, guys like Duran, Winky, Toney, Pretty Boy Floyd, Pac, etc. I can't recall, maybe Floyd/JMM. Entertainment, like beauty, is in the ey of the beholder. I don't think "defense first" is an accurate description of what is going on. Many of the Cuban fighters that use this style do so because they spend their formative and adult years as amateurs where scoring matters more than a KO. Floyd, for example, adjusted his style once he got to a weight class that required that shift because the men he was fighting usually outweighed him and if he fought the way he did previously the chances of winning are reduced. Lomachenko will likely go through this experience, especially if he rematches Salido given what we saw in the 1st fight. I agree with your last paragraph.
