the death of ring generalship could resurrect the popularity of boxing

[2501 v2.0]

ali wasn't popular for his fight style he was infamous in his prime.

so then you are saying Ali was as defensive and offensively limited as Cory Spinks is?

[alt-mellow]

if anything, the type of fighters who should be hated on are ****ing CLINCHERS. mothu****ers who punch and then immediately clinch. that is ****ing shameful.

nard?? ...

where did i say that?he WAS infamous for who he was,which in turn made people[white people for the most part] root against him.

To each his own. Boxers are the best this sport has to offer, and that is a fact. You won't see any face first boxers in the top 100 best ever lol. What fight will I watch, Hearns Leonard or Chico-Castillo? I might be using a bad example with Chico-Castillo lol. They had a method to their madness lol. Brawls are for guys who could never fight, and are still stuck in that little kid mode of watching fights. Boxing matches are for grown ups lol. If you ever laced them up, you'll understand what I'm saying lol.

Casual fans will ALWAYS prefer to watch a come-forward fighter, rather than a defensive/safety first boxer. ALWAYS.

and why would that be?aren't those the same people who know very little to nothing about boxing?

Anyway, who says ring generalship is dying? And please don't say because Floyd retired.

He was infamous for his mouth, not his style.

Those same people are the ones that rides the hype of every boxing matches. Same people who are buying PPV's, even though they know little to none about boxing they are still the biggest part of it.

and being a ****** had nothing to do with it?

watch the fight i posted, people where use to seeing ali considering he'd been champ for 2 years i think, in the beginning of the first rounds he starts doing his thing and the boos start raining.
