Pure Boxers Have Always Ruled Boxing

[Vadrigar.]

Yeah I know the title comes as a shock to know one, the sport is called boxing and being pure at it is a good thing. There are many fans these days and on these boards though who rag on about how this guy is boring, or this "certain" style is dull and boxing is dying cause it needs more excitement.

The reality is that sluggers have never dominated boxing, they have never been the life blood of boxing, they are never the biggest money makers in boxing or even the most popular. Lets start at

Sugar Ray Robinson...sure he could trade if need be, but for the most part he was a pure boxer. Also he was the most popular, made the most money, carried the sport during his time etc...

Muhammad Ali...another pure boxer, The Greatest, Biggest name in the sport, makes the most money, draws the biggest crowds, stirs the most excitement.

Sugar Ray Leonard...Another pure boxer, like Robinson he can **** if need be to but again a pure boxer dominates the sport, makes the most money, draws the biggest crowds, stirs the most debate.

Oscar De La Hoya/Roy Jones Jr....What do we have here more boxers??? Yeah they can punch but they ruled with their boxing skills, oh yeah they were the most popular, made the most money, drew the most excitement etc....

Floyd Mayweather...The sport revolves around him, lets be real, biggest PPV attraction, stirs the most debate, he is the center of the boxing world is he not?


Now before I make my final point I will agree that there are sometimes anomalies like Mike Tyson a slugger who rose to the top of the sport in money, popularity, and in ring actioni. But often the Job of selling a fight is often left to the Pure Boxers.

Here is the difference: Pure Boxers are generally confident in their ability, they have big mouths and are willing to back up what they say. Why cause they know they got the skills to pay the bills.

Sluggers are generally the quiet types, unable to draw huge crowds or light up the boxing world with their tongues. They have a let their fist do the talking mentality. T

At least watch ALi fight before making threads like this.

Hello all, I just read through the fist seven pages or so so I apologize if this was already posted before.
The original poster mentioned something about being a "Pure Boxer" when I heard of this the first thing that came too my mind was an out fighter, but the OP continued too talk saying that "Pure Boxers" were the best in the sport and get the most money. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't Hybrids be the most well rounded...?
Just my 2cents...

Gene Tunney was a pure boxer and he wasn't more popular than Jack Dempsey at the time.

That is too be expected, I mean Jack Dempsey was the Heavyweight champion at the time and was one hell of a fighter too. We can't just say the out fighters or Pure Boxers are the best or more popular. It all depends on their style and personalty. Don't ya think?

Just using it as an example of pure boxer/ slugger which contradicts the TS.

Even after Tunney became champ he was never as popular as Dempsey.
