Horus Presents: BOXING FANS VS. FIGHT FANS (Which 1 R U?)

[Horus]

if i were to rank them, i would have to say im a fight fan first...although i can understand the intricacies of the sweet science, my main objective is to be entertained to the fullest...and nothing entertains me better than the corrales-castillo, hagler-hearns, barrera-morales, gatti-ward, cotto-margarito, carbajal-gonzales, vasquez-marquez type of brawls....

its those types of fights that engrave fanhood into casual observers

If you can believe I am being sincere when i say this, I can respect and understand your P.O.V.

But My P.O.V is different from the aspect of I love to see a
great Tactical fight fought at a high level of skill. Such as the
Aaron Pryor vs. Alexis Arguello
Floyd Mayweather vs. Casitillo 1 and 2
Roy Jones vs. Tarver 1
Felix Trinidad vs. De la Hoya
Pernell Whitaker vs. buddy mcgirt
SRL vs. Wilfred Benitez


I am a Boxing Fan before I am a fight fan.
I prefer Season Skill over raw aggression
I prefer discipline over warrant less risk taking.

I am of the point of view that Boxing is an art.
Not just **** fighting.


If a stylistic boxer uses his skills to Break down another capable Boxer it is really a thing of beauty.Some are beating mentally before they feel the pain.The shifts in footwork,The positioning and punch selection when they are combined are as much a skill as ANY other sport out there.

this is why i am boxing fan 1st
fight fan 2nd

fair enough...i think that's what makes this sport special; it can provide options for all kinds of preferences...i too, have enjoyed the fights that you've listed...i dont think we can look down at either types of fans...the bottom line is that we're all under the same umbrella and are fans of the sport

I have never seen someone that is apparently such a 'cash cow' and 'elite fighter' as Floyd constantly fail to fight anyone approaching top level.

JMM was the pound 4 pound #2 what you want Floyd to fight himself? everyone else below him.

[kayjay]

who said this?

You implied it. At the very least the entire thread is premised on the claim that there are two classes of fan, and that one loves Floyd, whereas the other is impatient with him.

1. Fans do not fall so easily into categories.
2. Floyd is merely one particular boxer among others. It is possible to dislike him and yet be a fan of "boxing." Distaste for a boxer does not make of a a fan a mindless junkie for blood and violence.

Thats legit I understand your position and I guess I would be a fight fan, I like watching the fights where a fighter lays everything out there. It doesnt mean I dont appreciate a Floyd Mayweather or Pernell Whitaker.

I just dont think its fair too say a technical fighter is boxing and an aggresive fighter is just fighting.

Antonio Margarito is just as much of a boxer as Floyd Mayweather.

A fighter willing to take 3 punches to land 1 isnt any less of a boxer as someone who is an excellent counter puncher. They are just merely two different styles.

Now you blatantly are lying.
To prove you are lying.
I will give you or anybody you choose all my points and DELETE MY ACCOUNT if you can proved this wild claim.

And you can tell Rick Reno to post the allegedly crying email I sent to him.
you are blatantly lying because I just seriously owned you.

So your job is now, since you work for boxingscene is to provide that email that I supposedly sent to Rick Reno.

I WILL DONATE ALL POINTS TO ANY POSTERS YOU CHOOSE.


This is really sad, when people have to lie, when they themselves can not deal with the facts....

NO EXCUSE, PLEASE PROVIDE THE EMAIL!
NO EXCUSES, PLEASE EXPOSE ME..
PROVIDE THE SUPPOSED EMAIL

NO EXCUSES
LOL

ONCE AGAIN NO EXCUSES PLEASE PROVE THIS CLAIM.

sure thing Horus I will ask Rick but if he provides me with exactly what I say you better do exactly what you said you are going to do

A boxing fan appreciates boxers of all styles. They don't like just 1 fighter, and preach a bunch of useless jargon in an effort to act like they follow or know anything about the sport. They know about all he best fighters, and appreciate the different styles of all BOXERS, whether you brawl, or are a defensive wizard, counterpuncher, it does not matter. They are all boxers, and FIGHTING is their profession. They are loved and hated for what they do, but in the end, regardless of there style, a BOXER is what is the common thread every FIGHTER has. All fighters are boxers, and vice versa. They just have different styles. A style does not make anyone less of a boxer, or fighter.

I was trying to make him understand that in reality Boxing is just a subgroup of fighting. It is really just a technique/style of fighting. But he is still sticking to his definition.
