Why does everyone dislike "potshotters"?

[cixthree]

People forget that the sport is called Boxing, not Knockouts.

Now your a man that knows the sport.... Thank you. Its called boxing you bunch of MMA wannaBeeZ, not stand and trade, see who can take the most punishment before we both go blind. Its footwork, d fence, reflexes ect ect... A boxer is a boxer, you dont like boxers? dont watch um. You wanna see 2 men in panties dry hump (MMA)..
You call movment running? potshots not fighting? well its not its boxing, an art like the man said.
Dirrell beat Froch hands down, but i see a boxer will not win this tourny unless he turns boxer puncher

It wasn't so much of his style of fighting, but rather his horseplay in the ring. The way he toyed with fighters was enjoyable to watch. I can't find any reason why someone would say he wasn't exciting.

Shaking your butt in the ring isnt exciting to me, he did that against Tarver and got beat badly, but I guess you found that exciting.

Roy was passed his golden years when he fought Tarver. Hence the potshotting.

I dislike when people say "pop shot."

[patpatpts]

nobody wants to pay $50 to watch potshotting.

thats understandable but i don't want to pay 50 period but i will

[baracuda]

because they're boring to watch......it' would be like michael jordan only shooting freethrows.....

[RightCross94]

So you admit they're doing it to make up for other deficiencies?

Boxing is not running.

I know cowards like you and the fighters you like have convinced you that it is, but this isn't the Olympics or the amateurs, this is pro boxing.

If you don't like contact, get the *** out.

What deficencies like being outweighed considerably?

What the hell do the amateurs have to do with this?

Lol at calling fighters cowards, if they are cowards, then wtf are you? You're a fucking e-warrior who talks **** about real fighters

Again WTF is running? How is moving laterally, turning off, and boxing defensively running? It's nothing like running.

People like you hate so called "runners" and pot shotters, because they always completely own the fan favourite brawlers

Case in point: Gatti-Floyd. Everyone loves Gatti for his aggression and they all call Floyd "runner" "pot shotter" etc

But who was the one looking like the elephant man at the end of their fight?

[Doctor_Tenma]

One thing that no one mentioned in this thread is that the commentators make potshotting sound bad.
