More exciting than who?

What RJJ fights were more exciting than Hatton, gatti, Sharmba, corley, Chavez, Corrales, manfredy, Augustus, Judah, Bruseles, Genaro, etc?

Perhaps you are fairly new to boxing. But the knock on RJJ was that he would "carry" his weaker opponents because he wasn't a risk-taker.

He was subject to the very same criticisms.

Weaker opponents like Bernard Hopkins and James Toney?

You will find no bigger RJJ fan than me. But if you say that RJJ-Bhop was an exciting fight, then I know you did not see it.

It's probably because they want to see him fight and throw punches instead of being too defensive, I don't know that's just my guess. Of course they probably hate Floyd because it's a trend or they want to purposely be annoying.

I haven't seen an exciting Hopkins fight yet. I was responding to your statement about Roy carrying weak fighters.

Do you think PBF was elbowing... Hatton too much..?

[bestboxingonly]

its plain simple and should have never asked , most of the want people want excitement toe to toe, bell to bell look at ali, sugar ray l, hagler etc. simple as that. no1 wants running.

When I talk about RJJ's weak opposition, I am clearly not talking about those two HoFers. I'm talking about some of the civil servants he butted up against.

Ya know, that era when the calzaghes of the world chose to hide in Cardiff.

If avoiding punishment were the stuff of "track stars"

why do you find equipment in every boxing gym that improves head
movement?

Why do fighters wear ankle weights?

jump rope?

And simulate ducking punches when doing pad workouts?

If I threw something at your head, hopefully you would have the wherewithal to move out of the way. ...

Or

Would you Stand there get hit, and then throw something Back....?


Generally Speaking....
I think fighters only resort to fighting flat-footed because they have no choice. and boxers like Mayweather has plenty of options, so he doesnt stand flat footed...., instead he boxes on his toes, just like SRL, SRR, or ali..


So the question really is....?

Should he take punishment to give punishment...?
(Like fighters such as cotto, pacman,hatton)

Are Should he give Punishment and avoid Punishment..?
(as he is doing now....)

Time to Rebum...!!!
