I like it better when a guy showboats and taunts within range. Wow, you showboat when you're out of range. Big ****ing deal.

Here's a pressure fighter taunting and clowning, and doing it within range.

giving your opponent free shots is the ultimate showboat move.

I think it adds to the mental edge they have when being slick. If they're already being slick, using the opponents frustration against themselves just adds to their repetoire. That's what separates a good fighter from a great fighter, not letting the taunting get to them and staying focused.

frazier did against ali in their first fight. at some point he ducked a couple jabs, tapped his head and grinned, then dropped his hands and kept ducking under punches.

Why do slick boxers show boat and not pressure fighters? Sometimes Pressure guys show boat a bit. But it happens way more with slick guys.

because slick boxers don't sit down on their punches so they can't hurt you.
