Top 10 p4p, name me any brawlers on that list??

What do P4P lists have to do with champions? I or anyone who watches boxing can make up lists and justify why anyone should be on them.

We could debate all day long regarding this issue I’m not saying brawling style of fighting does not get you anywhere in the sport of boxing but the point I’m trying to make is a boxer who follows the art and sweet science of boxing surpasses a brawlers, who does not go with the art or science, that’s why Ali was so good.

Yet he lost his 1st fight to a come forward action fighter.

lmao who the **** is putting Rios in the same sentence as Floyd or Pacquiao? Looks like you're just looking for any little thing to hate on Rios.

Oh wow, Bob Arum of all people said Rios might one day fight Pacquiao. So unheard of a promoter mentioning one of his up and coming guys with a big star to get him a little publicity.

Why are you using foul language for.. Who are you to say I hate on Rios.. All I'm saying IMO that Rios is over rated..

Fans do put them in the same sentence.. And Arum talking about Rios vs Pacquiao is hype son don't matter if it's his promoter or not!!!

I'm sorry, but who exactly is hyping this guy up to be the next great fighter?

[BoxingGenius27]

There are only a few at 135 and 140 that can beat him. Not bad if you ask me.

Yet he lost his 1st fight to a come forward action fighter.

And beat him twice after!!!

I'll type however the **** I want to bro, deal with it. I'm saying you're hating on Rios by you claiming the kid's overrated when nobody is saying he's the next Sugar Ray Leonard. The guy is exciting in the ring and will provide us with a ton of good future fights, that ain't overrating him at all. We all know he'd probably get outboxed silly by a good boxer, but let's just enjoy his wars until then.

Think you have no idea what a promoter does and need to learn a little bit more about the sport bro.

You replied to my comment
9 out of 10 a boxer beats a brawler...
If that was the case we would almost never have any world champions who were not slick tacticians.

So the point I’m trying to make is look at the p4p list none of them are brawlers.. so most of the time a boxer beats and surpasses a brawler.

Its all about being able to impose your style like a I said with a good gameplan not about style superiority.
