    was Jones,Whitaker,PBF, really that entertaining to watch

    was Jones,Whitaker,PBF, really that entertaining to watch ? i have to say i dont like watching Whitaker that much he does not sit down enough on his shots or sustain his attacks enough for my liking great defensive fighter but not great to watch IMO

    Jones has had some amazing performances but there have been so many times in his career when he has carried his oponents when he could of got them outta there ,Jones was not boring like i find Whitaker but he did have some cautious Boxing matches Reggie Johnson,etc he only really did his thing against cans and he even carried some of them for to long sometimes

    i see Jones as frustrating to watch because of what you know he can do

    PBF was brilliant to watch at SFW but as he moved up he was mr boring the Diego Corrales fight was a great performance but it was not really entertaining IMO i realise that was at SFW before anyone gets on my case ,DeMarcus Corley,Henry Bruseles,Jose Luis Castillo 2,Victoriano Sosa,Zab Judah,Carlos Manuel Baldomir,Oscar De La Hoya all cautious fights that feel like you have been watching them for 2 hours when you watch them

    All 3 were definitely entertaining to watch in my opinion except for Floyd after moving up to WW.

      All of those are unique and brilliant boxers who I love to watch. There's no rule in boxing where you get more credit if you win as quickly as possible; a win is a win. Pernell slipping combinations on the ropes, Roy Jones throwing 4 punch combos with the same hand, Floyd's uppercutting off of the shoulder roll, etc., are just incredible things that you won't see from anyone else.

          They were all entertaining to watch in spurts but not throughout a whole fight.

            I agree with this. I will say though that I didn't like watching Pea's style till after he retired. It didn't interest me at all. Took him leaving the sport for me to appreciate him.

                All 3 were great to watch IMO apart from Floyd when he moved up to 147

                  Was Floyd really that bad to watch? I thought he looked great against Mitchell and Judah. He obviously didn't trade with much bigger guys in Baldo and ODLH, but the second half of the Hatton fight was very good as well. A lot of people say that he's a very boring WW, but I think it's only in comparison to his previous weights.

                    I agree,

                    I will go as far as to say I enjoy watching the first 6 rounds of the Baldomir fight, and the entire ODLH fight.
