I can see what Froch is saying but what someone "deems" exciting is all relative when it comes to boxing. I am a boxing purist so I truly enjoy watching superb technicians/pure boxers like JMM, Floyd, Ward, Malignaggi, etc. On the other hand I enjoy ****ers too like Rios, Gatti, Corrales, etc. I am a fan of almost all styles, except hugging BS like John Ruiz used to pull. I hate to say it, but the more humble and nice you are as a boxer, it seems as though you have less fans. Boxing is obviously a violent male demographic sport so most want to see blood, KO's, **** talking, ridiculous antics....I get it. It is entertainment as well, not just a sport. I have mixed feelings though because I am such a purist, and watching 2 guys fight at the highest technical skill level of the sport, is just amazing to me. I think the fans that Ward does not have or seem to be getting are the fair-weather fans. If guys want bloody 1 punch KO type fights, go watch the UFC where no one can take a punch lol. When those mma guys throw punches, the fight is usually over in a round, because one of them goes to sleep.Comment
