    I enjoy Andre Ward, Bernard Hopkins, and of course Floyd Mayweather. Most of the time, I like watching a fighter get figured out and broken down better more than someone just getting punched real bad. There's no way Manny doesn't entertain u, but skilled boxing like that has no equal to me

        Bradley was taking so much risk and once he saw that Devon did not really want it he took his foot off the gas and was coasting to victory..I do believe he was to step on the gas for the Championship rds tho,I really feel like Devon was tired and ready to be put to bed that's why he wanted out of the fight..I hated the end of this fight because it took away from Bradley's dominance with all the headbutt chadder..

          Cuz' most of the time they are boring.


          Its why I don't take Calderon seriously as a fighter. I view him as a minor sideshow until the REAL fighting starts.

            Typical ******* response.
            All of a sudden Pac countrymen think they know boxing. I almost cant wait to Pac retires so these "fans" can go away.

            Anyway to answer the TS.

            They dont appreciate the true science and art of boxing.
            They need to find a street fight site and watch those videos.

              I have just one thing to say

              Hagler-Hearns. No skill - just three rounds of beating the **** out of each other. That fight will always be remembered as one of the greatest in the history of the sport.

              But i suppose a 'real boxing fan' wouldn't enjoy that and would much rather see Mayweather-Baldomir? After all, Baldomir was the undisputed WW champ and Floyd put on a clinic right?

              SMH. This is the real reason boxing is declining - tons of hype followed by a **** boring fight. Just imagine a casual fan is interested in something like Bradley-Alexander, and then sees a terrible fight - why should they bother watching boxing again?

              While i do enjoy watching skillful performances for 12 rounds with no KD's - it's KO's and exciting fights that MAKE boxing

                    You can't deny that the most exciting thing in boxing is the KO.

                      i've got nor argument with that - i was really glad the fight took place. im just saying fights like that one are no good for boxing

                      and many 'boxing fans' need to get off their 'i appreciate the sweet science and i enjoy boring fights so i'm a better boxing fan than you MMA lovers' high horse
