      There are a few factors including but not limited to: time of day, mood, caliber of fighters etc. I know it sounds ****** but it matters. But if all is good in the world I would like to see a closely contested well fought boxing match.

            Mostly I see boxing novices and the casual boxing fans who prefer stylishness over actual brawling. It seems to go to the humania pervading the nation at the present time, e.g. save the animals, basketball as a stylistic display, and the move to ban MMA, pit bulldogs, etc. We are in a civilized, "*****" phase. Of course, a very good boxer who can also handle a very good brawler, preferably taking him out, is a work of art anyone can appreciate I think, people like a prime Roy Jones, Sugar Ray Leonard, etc.... But I think I personally would rather watch a prime Tyson, Foreman, Hagler, Hearns, Benn, etc.

              as long as both fighters are trying to the best of their ability...it just peeves me when they show too much fear in the ring.

                Im not sure its pussification or anything like that, I think its more ppl thinking that theyre better or "smarter" for liking things that the majority dont like, like brawling. Theyre "cooler" and "deeper" because they "understand" phat skillz my nuggyz winky n floyd 4 life

                    lol!!! could you be more subtle? lol!

                    personally like a good brawl. nothing like a brawl between 2 skillful fighters. boxing is a form of fighting, so i am disappointed when i see one or both boxers dancing around like they're afraid of being hit. being too technical is not the funnest thing to watch. and the boxing fans are the whole reason that boxers get paid as much as they do. so, naturally, i feel that a boxer should want to entertain the audience. it's one of the reasons why i don't like boxers like mayweather. he's an extremely boring fighter. i like watching technical fighters sometimes, but most of the time i just really want to see how tough a guy is.


                    kostya tszyu is a perfect example of a fighter who is technically skilled, yet tough and entertaining to the crowd. tszyu is also the perfect example of what good sportsmanship should look like. the perfect fighter all around.

                      as long as the fight is competitive, i'll watch it. i like brawls as much as displays of skill if the fight is a good match.
