    The answer should be easy.


    As Charlie Sheen says.

    Duh Winning
    It's not just one or the other, you want to be entertaining in your wins. Who do you think you're ? Rigo?

      Ideally both.

      Forced to choose one or the other, it depends upon whether you're a fan or a fighter.

      A fan wants to be entertained, a fighter wants to win.

          For some viewers yes, or it is because they love the sport. But for any athlete their is one goal. Victory. Wins. Championships. If an athlete feels otherwise, something is wrong.

            double edged sword really, legacy- be remembered for 100+ years but possible broke as hell and brain damage down the road. Money, financially set for life for yourself and future kids but less people care about you when you go. Pretty easy choice imo

              What do you mean by entertain?

              Like showboating defensive point fighters?

                Even if a fighter is boring people always latch on to a guy who does nothing but win eventually but thats the combo obviously you want to win and put on good tv fights.

                  It was entertaining to see donaire get outclassed by rigondeaux. I was very entertained after that fight.

                    oh no doubt ..but like i said if all one fighter does is win but boring , the one who always wins and entertains still would be the main man ...defintely a combo but an entertianing good fighter ****s on a boring good fighter any day ..


                    i dont know some fanatcis cant get a grip on the diffrence of boring and entertaining...just becuase they have mad love for a fighter....it's easy to judge boring and entertaing IF youre thinking like the rest of the human race ....

                      Winning is the obvious choice, look at Andre Berto. He's one of the most entertaining fighters in boxing, but many people have lost faith in him after his failure to beat Victor Ortiz and Robert Guerrero. But someone like Andre Ward or Rigo, they're seen as boring by casuals but they earn respect by beating opponents with ease. So ofcourse winning.
