Do you think Defensive Fighters are Exciting?

[Southpaw16BF]

Defense wins championships

Tell Battling Nelson, Aaron Pryor,Henry Armstrong,Carmon Basillo,Rocky Grazinao and all the other all time greats and champions, so many i have just named a few.

Defensive fighters with low punch volume bore me.

Often times, incorrectly, people mistake defensive fighters for fighters who don't like to fight. It's bull****. Look at Winky Wright, he's a defensive minded fighter. I loved his fight with Jermain Taylor, though. Very exciting fight.

It depends on circumstances.

There is and was NO reason for Ivan Calderon to slug it out with Hugo Cazares. Why the hell should he do that?

I enjoy watching defensive fighters, as long as they aren't running, I don't mean lateral movement, I mean straight out running, I don't like that.

So he could become brain dead and we could call him a warrior?

Who does? Most people watch boxing because they expect boxers to fight.

Cory Spinks, Cotto against Margarito,

I wouldn't say they are exciting but they are still entertaining. Sometimes tactics can be fascinating to watch. A display of that type of skill may not have me standing up cheering but I will be sitting there like "****, this guy is good."

Dont get me wrong, i could watch a good BRAWL like Gatti-War, Morales-Barrera, Castillo-Corrales, those fights are GREAT. But i love to watch Defensive fighters take away a fighters main weapon and pick them apart. It is just GREAT TO WATCH. And then they leave the fight with no cuts or bruises most of the time, because they dont get hit a lot. Like Hopkins vs Trinidad *Hopkins picked him apart from round 1* Hopkins vs Pavlik *Picked him apart for all 12 rounds* And Winky, Spinks is OK(but his Mayorga fight ****** tho because he held for the ENTIRE fight) Mayweather is good (cept for just a couple) but he does have skills. Manny's Defense has gotten so much better since JMM, that he isn't getting hit much anymore. He is becoming way SLICKER.

Agree I mean look at Margarito

*Runs away from thread*
