..Lose A Great Fight Or Win A Dull Fight?...

[JoHnNyBoXeR]

this is a ****** question... if your involved with boxing, or any sport for that matter, and you'd rather lose than win.. i suggest you find somthing else to do!@

I would win a dull fight, because you will be guaranteed a next fight with more money. Would Hatton win a dull fight against Mayweather and have kept his 0 or lost to Mayweather in a great fight in which he did. Think about you were fighting for a world championship. Wladimir wins dull fights and is undisputed heavyweight champion.

He also has headlined a whopping ZERO PPVs in America, to the best of my recollection.

We are not talking about PPV sales now are we. Taking about winning dull fight or losing in a fight. Who would you be Hatton losing to Mayweather or Mayweather beating Oscar.

'I would win a dull fight, because you will be guaranteed a next fight with more money.'

That's what I was referring to, now wasn't I?

MY point in THIS thread was to talk about the fight, but then you brought in your reasoning for your choice. Which is what I questioned.

And for the record, Hatton-Mayweather was a really good fight, it wasn't a GREAT fight. You compare that fight to other GREAT fights and it doesn't stand up. Not a bad fight at all, but 'really good' isn't 'great'.

For the record, I haven't voted and I'm not taking any side. I'm just pointing out certain differences in opinions I have with BOTH sides arguments.

I'd rather win the dull fight.

Mayorga loses in exciting fashion, yet still headlines ppv's and recieves handsome paydays. Winky wins in booooooring fashion, yet cant even land a fight on espn.

With that said, i'd rather lose a close, tough fight were both of us fought our hearts out, and the crowd is giving us a standing ovation afterwards, rather than win in a coma inducing fashion ala Floyd over Baldomir, or Wlad over Ibragimov.

The point of boxing is to win. Granted you may not get the notoriety you're looking for, but a win is a win. Also, depending who you fight helps make the difference on what kind of outcome you're going to have.

I agree that the objective of being in the sport is to win, but sometimes an exciting toe to toe brawl in which u lose, might be a better investment than a boring win. The fans will still want to see a fighter that is known to go balls to the wall in his fights whether he wins or loses. Same cant be said for a safety first/defensive fighter who tends to win in boring fashion time after time.

If you a fighting for something like a championship belt or in a title eliminator are you saying you would lose in a toe to toe battle then win in a dull fight in these situations
