        Quite the contrary is true. Real boxing fans have little tolerance for track meets and ballroom dancing in the guise of boxing matches... Real boxing fans don't want to endure the pathetic exibition of two counter punchers of opposite stances (southpaw vs. orthodox) "feeling each other out" for 12 rounds... Real boxing fans don't want to see Cory Spinks fight his clone...

          if haten can cut off the ring, it'll be a great fight, if pbf gets what he wants - running and pot shotting, it'll be a ****ing snoozer. the early rounds, when haten is fresh and his power is there, will probably be exciting

            i think if floyd controls the tempo of the fight, it's has a high percentage of likeliness to be boring, real high.

              Could be...

              The way I see it, is if Floyd has an off night (not likely) and Ricky is able to capitalize on that, Ricky's fans will make the fight look and sound exciting.

              Otherwise, I think there will be some exciting moments combined with some dull ones, but overall a great fight to watch.

                    it could very well be a boring ass of a fight. the way both of them fight doesn't usually make exciting fights. that doesn't mean that it won't be interesting, however.

                    me, i'm pulling for ricky hatton. i don't like hatton's blatant holding, and cheating as seen in the kt fight(not even going into that ref who should never work again), but he seems like a cool guy that you could down a beer with. so, i am rooting for who i think is the cooler guy. who wins? well, i couldn't say right now.

                      There are different scales of excitement in a fight. I don't think this will have me on the edge of my seat unwilling to blink; but It wont be the snoozefest ODLH/PBF was.
