Right. But you do understand that not everyone watches boxing doesn't watch it to "see mofos get KTFO" right? I'm not saying boxing shouldn't be entertaining, but you do understand that Boxing is a sport, correct? Entertaining people is a side-effect of any sport, i.e; theres nothing in the rules of boxing that says "You must entertain people to win this bout." Do you know why that is? Because "entertain people" is a ambigous statement with no real definition. People are different, and they like different things. What one person likes, another person does not. I HATE when people say "Boxing is about entertaining people." What people? Entertaining how? Does that mean throw less punches more accurately or more punches less accurately? How many punches must be thrown and/or landed to qualify as entertaining, and to whom? I mean, hell, if two people are going to compete in the ring in this sport, they surely have to have these things clearly defined, or else they can't win their fights! Because after all, "Boxing is about entertaining people for all that $$$ they are paying you."
You watch and pay for boxing if you are entertained by it, if you are not, you don't. But don't think for a second that what you like extends past your own personal opinion, ever, for anything, not just boxing.
I don't watch boxing to see blood. I like and respect the gladiator-esque aspect of it for what it is, but I do not have some primal urge to see another person get knocked unconscious. Boxing is NOT about knockouts. If it was, then you'd be required to knock your opponent out to win. Boxing is about defeating the opponent. If you do not like seeing technical boxers...you know...BOX, then there are many, many KO artists out there. The fact that a boxer with technical skill can manage to outbox a puncher most of the time speaks volumes.
And to answer the question, I like watching Floyd fight, just as I like watching Paulie, Spinks, Hopkins and everyone else. I have nothing against punchers, and I like a lot of them too. I love everything about boxing, minus the corruption and a lot of the fans.Last edited by St@rscreem; 11-02-2007, 11:55 AM.Comment

A hater doesn't have common sense like I do.
A hater will just hate for hating's sake.
I try to disect and expose the fraud that he is.
It's all common sense.
THAT'S WHY YOU CALL IT PROFESSIONAL BOXING IDIOTS.
YOU DON'T GET PAID TO RUN LIKE A CHICKEN ALL NIGHT. You get paid to fight.
It's ok to move and weave but MAKE SURE YOU ARE PUTTING PUNCHES UP, COMBINATIONS ON THE MOVE, EFFECTIVE ATTACKS.
NOT JUST PLAIN DUMB POTSHOTTING, HUGGING AND THROWING 30 PUNCHES PER ROUND.Comment

Mayweather will take the cowards way out and run from Hatton like how he ran from Baldomir. Floyd is the *******t so called #1p4p fighter I have ever seen, he has no heart or balls and he thinks he is the G.O.A.T. I can't wait till Hatton breaks Floyd's ribs and makes him cry like the spoiled ***** he is.Comment

Hey Parody. Im curious to hear your response to my post. Here it is.
If Floyd pulls another Baldomir performance, i can guarantee you that it will hurt his marketability for future fights. You really think HBO wants Floyd to put on another performance like that? All they care about is what puts asses in seats, and what generates ppv buys. How do u think Mayorga still headlines ppv's. He's an entertaining fighter who goes for the kill. Look at Winky and Spinks. Its hard for them to headline a ppv and sell out an arena because the majority of fans dont care to see them. They have a boring style. Do u really think that the promoters, and sponsers behind the Hatton-Floyd fight want high profile celebrities walking out of the arena mid-fight again? Hell no. Floyd claims that he's such a smart buisness man right? So in that case, entertaining the fans and having them want to pay to see you is a MAJOR part of the "buisness" He can only ride the coattails of famous/highprofile opponents for so long.Comment
