      This is what happens when you move up weight and fight bigger fighters.

      You get slower and more cautious.

      (oh wait)

            Overall, I would say yes, your opinion definitely has more credibility if you have stepped into the ring or at least sparred before.....So you know what it is like, and how daunting it can be...That's a big problem on here, with guys calling people like Floyd cowards, it's like "Uhh, so Floyd is a coward...Well what have you ever done? Who have you fought?"

            Although, some people who have never boxed can still lend useful opinions, dan for example is a knowledgeable poster who has never boxed, he has read up on the sport, knows what he is talking about, and doesn't say idiotic **** like a great number on here do.

              I agree, especially against a fighter at world level, loads of people on here give fighters here stick calling them bums (I know its the internet, but still) when at the end of the day they must be good to fight at world level. Some people get bruised in sparring, to go into a 12 rounds fight at world level with 8-10oz gloves, no headguard and come out without any bruising or even a bloody nose is very impressive and is something more people should appreciate IMO.

                That's why I have respect for Bradley and think he is going to do huge things in the future, he has a good slick style, I mean he has some tweaks to make but its still early on in his career. Somebody with a style like his will last long in the sport I think, he has a good future ahead of him IMO.

                    I use to box has an amateur so yes i appreciate all kind of style, And yes it takes alot of skill to keep moving and avoid getting punishment and not getting touched altogether but i would rather be able to KO my opponents in one or two rounds.

                    The problem is you cannot KO everyone, One day you would meet someone who you cannot KO then your boxing skills have to set in if not you're going to get your a** kicked.
