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

their not boxing fans their rocky and mma fans that dont know the definition of the sweet science"hit and dont get hit"

Ali, SRR, Pep, Whitaker did this. Mayweather does it and he don't get no love?? Why

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.

Pernell Whitaker!

Check the level of opposition and the guys Floyd didn't fight.

Honestly, that goes into CREDIT not being given. Floyd was NEVER given any credit. He beat names, NAMES that everyone said was gonna K.O Floyd. Floyd beat em and didn't get any respect. Everyones a bum once Floyd beats them. I just wish they gave credit to the natural 140 pounder for beating the names at 147 and DLH at 154

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?

Like for example...many can agree Margarito is an en exciting fighter but I'd say he is too basic and limited for my liking. I'm not so much into fighters that get jizzed all over the face just so they can jizz back.

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

1. This is a bait thread...but fair enough.

2. Boxing is the sweet science. It's the art of hitting and not getting hit. Not getting hit, is integral to boxing. Anything else is simply brawling or just plain punching.

3. Most people don't get that because they either haven't boxed, fought, or have some idiotic machismo thing going on in their heads.

4. Brawling and boxing are both valid expressions of the art known as boxing. I know this seems to contradict point two, but if you think about it-it makes sense.

I agree, but some boxers take it to another level by (as one poster said) treating it as if were a game of "tag you're it" Some boxers are so focused on the 'not getting hit" part, that they tend to abandon thier offense all together.

Floyd would get more respect if he just fought the fights people wanted to see.
No Cotto, no Margarito, no Williams, no Mosley.


But he did fight a murderers row of Sosa, Ndou, Corley, Gatti, Mitchell, Judah, Baldomir, DLH and Hatton.


Everyone knows those were much more dangerous fights.


But I get what you're saying though.

Rocky Marciano and Sven Ottke pound for pound the best ever!


Lifestyle Undefeated!

I agree but he no longer is MOTIVATED in the sport. Why should Floyd step in the ring against dangrous fighters while not be motivated?? Is this the Floyd you wana see?? The answer should simply be NO.

He was motivated to talk all that ****, but hes not motivated to prove that hes better?

yea, you're right.

"we're not fighting to prove whos the best to the fans, we're fighting for money"
