as a boxing fan, which do you prefer?

I prefer watching search and destroy fighters live, but when it comes to replay value, I'd much prefer re-watching how a skilled fighter breaks down his opponent...

Prime example, I'd rather Mayweather/Corrales than Castillo/Corrales having already seen how both fights end. I had a better time watching Castillo Corrales the first time around, but u seen it once you've seen it a hundred times

Those fights were great examples of skill and attrition. Many have been more exciting, but they certainly not boring fights. Mayweather-Baldomir, that was a boring fight.

Watching Holyfield vs Bowe 2. ZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Yep, the worst of the trilogy. Can you tell me the last time Wlad or Vits fought like that in the 12th round? Weren't you just saying fighters from back than were gassed in the 5th? Hmmm........

Wlad be looking fresh in most of his fights I've seen recently. I know he got tired and got knocked the fuck out one time but oh well shit happens.

And why does he look fresh? Because he plays it safe. When he had to go to war he was exhausted. Same thing with Vitaly against Lewis.

Because he's using his skills instead of going in like a bull. I love all types of styles. I love defensive boxers when they actually use their skills and don't run like a *****. Some of my favorite boxers have ran like *****es before but I criticize them for it so no bias. I think a style like Marquez is the best all around. Offensive, technical, defensive, etc. He may not move pretty like Jones but it's still the best imo to see. Wlad sometimes fights like that and that's why I like him as far as offensive, technical and being defensive at the same time.

Skills over balls any day.

Nothing against skills but a fighter should be a fighter in the ring, take some chances even if he dont has to and should not only be able to give it but also to take some.

He doesn't use all his skills though and that's what's frustrating. Any objective fan can see he plays it safe. Its effective but its boring.

I admire fighters who are more willing to put everything on the line...not too big a fan of fighters who are content with moving, sticking out the jab and when on the inside they hug.

[Optimistic]

I enjoy all types of fighters, but I definitely prefer it when fighters put it all on the line in a slugfest.

He knocks most of his opponents out and he's so boring that he sells places out with thousands and thousands of people to see that boring person fight. What an accomplishment!!!
