    No fighter should go toe to toe with anybody if that doesn't give them the best chance to win. Its about winning first and foremost.

    Who would a have a better career a fighter who took on everybody and won every fight in a so called boring fashion or a fighter who took on everybody but lost in a so called exciting fashion??

    I would rather win all my fights in whatever manner put me in the best position to win. All competitions are about winning first all that other **** is secondary.

      Oh the irony, TS's start date was Feb, 2008

        I'd rather pay to watch a warrior lose than watch a boring win. Thats why guys like Tyson, Ali and pretty much all the old timers are revered while the Klits are borderline hated.

        Definsive fighters don't have to be boring, look at Pep, SRL, Sweet Pea were elusive boxers who still brought the fight.

            The Klits are hated because of the level of the heavyweights fighting today. Its not they're fault they can beat the other heavyweights of this era with basic jab jab straight right hand. Look at when that Klit fought Lennox Lewis he wasn't boring. Why? Because Lewis made him fight and show what he really has. Its not they're fault nobody else has brought that out of them. What is boring is a matter of opinion. What you call a warrior some people call a unskilled using his face to block punches brawler. What some call using movement some call a coward ***** ass runner. In his prime hey day a lot of people called Sweet Pea a runner.

            I don't understand why people get mad at fighters for using the advantages they have to win the fight. The losing fighter should be critized because they were not good enough to change what the other fighter was doing. At least that is the way I feel. Its not fighter A fault that fighter B not good enough stop what fighter A does best to get the win.

            I personally like skills and ring smarts over brute force. But I respect all styles and will watch all styles.

            SRL and Sweet Pea didn't always bring the fight. They brought it when they were losing on the cards or felt the fight was close where that is what would be needed to guarantee the victory. Other than that they mainly employed a style of make you miss and make you pay. SRL would take the lead more often than the others you named though.

              I think people would like Floyd better if he said, "I'm sorry" during every ass whoppin' he administers.

                I'm actually used to it. The way Floyd operates is going to bring critisim and even hate sometimes. No biggy.

                But when you insult a good honorable man like Genaro.

                By making light of his cancer or calling him a bum you cross a line.

                Then I go all out.

                  I've been here longer than that. I may have had another account many years ago.

                      did you see how much bigger floyd is now against JMM? he's probably gotten better too he was only 21 there. mmosley may hit harder but i bet he is slower and less skilled than floyd, pac is much smaller like JMM was and i dont know if pac has the power to KO him now unless he really landed some unanswered shots.
