Option 1. Curious how many people on here prefer fighters that can simply outbox an opponent to a wide UD, yet make it boring for many who want to see action. Do you prefer this and consider it the better form and style to watch in boxing? Hit and do not get hit and you're entertained with that for 12 rds, every single time?
Option 2. Do you prefer a slugger who is willing to take hits to land his own, give the crowd a good fight and ideally end it with a knock out?
Option 3. Do you prefer a guy who can box, but also likes to mix it up here and there and has enough power to end the fight at some point?
Just curious. Do you think the sport can maintain itself if the majority of fighters were option 1? Would you pay your hard earned money to buy a PPV or watch it live in-person knowing the fighter is going to be aiming for a points decision? Are these fighters good for the sport?
Watching a fighter who is a slugger brings its entertainment value and excitement to the sport, but does this mean he's not a "good" boxer? He blocks with his head and will probably have a shortened career while giving some excitement while it lasts.
OR the power boxer, knowing he can kind of do it all? You might get some decision victories and you might get some exciting bouts that can end in a satisfying KO.
