So why does a huge percentage of boxing fans hate Out-Boxers??

[Grappler_Baki60]

See I appreciate defensive counter punchers. A fighter with good foot work. One that could throw a good jab and defend himself NICELY with his back against the ropes. A good accurate puncher who is also a body body puncher and knows when/when not to fight on the inside. So I ask (Mainly, Mexicans) what do ya have against these type of fighters?



So yes...whats there to hate about skillful fighters like Floyd? Or your boy Solis

I dont mind a defensive fighter who uses his defense in order to set up offense, but when a defensive/safety-first minded fighter backpeddles, and resorts to flicking jabs and weak limp wrist punches for the majority of the fight in hopes of a decision win, im sorry, that to me is not boxing!

I always say as long as boxers can throw punches in between their clinchin, movin, and defense, I like watchin em.

Well, technically speaking, it is boxing because a "punch" is landed. However, I'm not really in favor of "playing tag" as I call it. I prefer to see guys actually hit each other with skillful powerful punches. Love taps don't cut it for me.

[El Dominicano]

I'm not so much into fighters that get jizzed all over the face just so they can jizz back.

That was ****ing FUNNY

You're talking about casual fans. which sport do you think casual fans would rather watch? football or flag-football?

You can be defensive and skillfull and STILL be exciting.
