    Andre Berto's entertaining(although he barely fights it seems)

    Tim Bradley has one boring fight and now he's not entertaining? He didn't ask Devon to keep clinching...

    since when did bradley become an exciting fighter?

      His fights with Holt and Peterson were good...I enjoyed the Abregu fight...if he could "punch" people would say he was exciting

        lol@ Berto

        As for Bradley, the Peterson fight was decent but outside of that he's pretty dull.

        If he had some power and was knocking people out I'd be more interested.

            you dont have to have power to be exciting. i found pernell whitaker to be excitingn when he dodged punches with his unreal athleticism. The problem is none of these guys do that. They would literally rather run than get hit like andre dirrell or hug the guy to a level only seen in ****sexuality in order not to get hit like ward, or purposely headbutt somebody to death like bradley in order not to get hit.

              That bradley alexander fight last night was just awful to watch with all the clinching, headbutting, the fear of getting hit & committing to punches, lack of two way action, lack of combination fighting, & just the overall lack of entertainment was just embarrassing to witness.

              When are we gonna get an american prize fighter we can be proud of to watch? When are we gonna get an american fighter that will captivate & move the sporting masses? I chose bradley to win last night but the matter in which he won was just downright ugly & cannot be sold to the masses.

              I blame the two racists floyd jr. & bernard hopkins for encouraging this style of stinking up the joint, spoiling fights, cherry picking fighters, & overall selfish mentality. They have done a disservice to american boxing, they have been bad examples for young fighters.

              America needs the second coming of marvin hagler, tommy hearns, ray leonards, mike tyson, aaron pryor. Not the 2nd coming of bernard hopkins in andre ward & timothy bradley.
              Ward is the truth in my opinion. Im glad he can tough out ugly fights. Froch and AA are just as boring as any to me. Taking blows doesnt equal exciting to me. You wanna know what all the old fighters you name have in common? Brain damage, speach problems, and detached retnas.

                  Fighting to long and taking unecessary punishment. Somebody like Floyd took a Leonard like swagger and perfected it. All his fights look so one sided that it may appear boring but its really genius. I remember SRL used to get the same type of criticism but he decided to please everybody and look what it got him. It shortened his career and he went out old, broken and on his ass. At the rate Mayweather's going he will be as effective at 40 as most fighters in their early 30's.

                      not quite. just need to get some of those special physical specimens that play football, nba, & mlb to box.

                      America is still the 1# producer of supreme athletic beings.
