    professional boxing is about doing more damage.

    if i can watch an aggressor over a purely negative fighter i will. most great fighters do both.

      Gotta love it! IMHO this is boxing. It works both ways. Sometimes the seek & destroy guys break their opponent down with the constant pressure when applied correctly or the technical dude boxes his opponents shoes off.

        People should be able to appreciate both.

        Although I personally prefer more technically skilled fighters, ultimately I'd rather a fighter win by utilising a style he's comfortable with than lose trying to "provide entertainment".

            I have no love for overly negative, defensive boxers.

            It's called "the fight game" not the "do anything you can to prevent a fight game"

              Somewhere in the middle for me.

              I like watching the technical "take my time style" - Floyd. and I like watching the seek and destroy style - Froch. My very favourite style is a good, technical counter puncher - JMM.

                I'm a Wladimir fan. It's frustrating to know that he carries fighters into deep water rather than blast them out early.

                He has legitimate power. I personally believe he has the biggest punch in boxing today.

                I know he has chin frailties but it's disappointing.

                  Both. But I especially love when a technical or "slick" fighter goes on the offensive or goes into seek and destroy mode. I love fighters like Mathysse, who doesn't? But there's something to be said about the insane level of skill some guys possess. Guys like Floyd (who I dont find boring in the keast) or guys like Ward, Rigo's timing, etc.

                    Seek and Destroy. Although I love a good mix of technique and testicles like JMM
