What I want is two beasts go at it, skills, power, speed. That’s it. High level fights.

Do you prefer to follow top boxers with losses

Above all I'm always on the lookout for skillfull fighters and/or good fights.

I don't. After a few losses, I lose interest. Also, undefeated doesn't mean a weak resume. It's case by case.

I dont have a preference. I just like highly skilled guys that go out and try to fight the best. Lomachenko and Chocolatito have multiple losses and are two of my favorites.. I also love Inoue and Teofimo who have no losses. All the top welterweights are wack to me regardless if they have losses or not.

I'm extremely neutral about losses on their own. blanket statements don't fit, I need narratives.
Some of my favorite fighters in history took heavy Ls, but, fixed fights and fighting 3 times a week will do that.
Other guys got 0's I just don't give a **** about. Hrgovic got's an 0, bit of hype, idgaf. If he beats hunter I will, if he doesn't it'll be a while before I give a **** about him.
Some guys got 0's and no resume and I still think they're impressive as ****. Kleitomachos, for example, won the Olympic boxing, pankration, and wrestling without giving a point to any opponent in any tournament. Idgaf if it was 1200 cans, that's good ****.
Ward's got a good 0, and I like to watch Josesito Lopez.

I follow boxers with no losses to doubt digit L's. It's all about strength of schedule. That said if you've never heard of a guy with L's & don't see noticable names on his resume or some split decisions the winning bet far more often than not is he's not worth following now & won't be in the future.siablo14 likes this.

I don't follow boxers. I follow boxing.
Not as hardcore as I used to though. Like 20 years ago I would never miss Shobox, Telefutura, ESPN WNF/FNF type cards. These days, I don't tune in for those kind of shows. I must admit, my passion lies with beer these days. Honestly, these current guys taking the Mayweather route without putting the work in to earn that status isn't helping to reignite my love for boxing. It feels like we discuss the business of boxing more than the actual fights these days. $port$ in general.
