      playing it safe doesn't entertain me


      yes, you can enjoy the technical aspect of the sport but its not the same as watching a guy hell bent on killing his opponent

        I like seeing a war as much as the next guy but the thing I appreciate most is seeing a fighter who can hit and not be hit in return. I like seeing two guys who aren't all that skilled just throwing bombs on each other. I really like to see a technician at work though.

          Well considering boxing's biggest stars......

          Safe - Floyd

          Seek and Destroy - Pac

          Guess in general since they produce millions of viewers each.

              give me Gatti-Ward over PBF-Baldomir any day

              although Floyd might have been technically brilliant, it doesn't give me that 'damn i love this sport' feeling as i do after watching Gatti-Ward

                    Floyd is a defensive fighter who I don't particularly like watching, but he employs ALL his skills. Its much more appealing though watching I guy feint, parry, slip punches go to the body and counter than it is watching a guy hold and hug when not waiting for openings. Don't you agree?
