You're one of the main ones who lack knowledge.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, just coz your a boxing purist doesn't mean everyone else has to be. People are allowed to enjoy different aspects of the sport. Boxing has been refined to a sweet science over many years however at it's core it is about two guys going into combat against each other and seeing who is the best and guess what, sometimes the slugger triumphs over the most technical boxer.

Man you are an MMA fan,people look at that and think it is just 2 dudes grinding on each other....but if they had a clue they'd see the technique involved in that sport as well..it takes an educated eye to see what is going to,you fight for position to get to where you need to be

Im actually a fan of all combat sport including boxing but even in MMA us fans have a saying for wrestlers that just sit on their opponent and staul so they can win the round on points. It's called lay and Pray so even in MMA fight fans hate boring ass fighters no matter how good their technique is.

any combat sport has to involve a high iq,no need to take punishment if you no not have to,thats just common sense

Ill agree with OP!

If you want to see two guys just brawl...go to the nearest bar and start a fight.

Plain and simple. I can appreciate defense, offense, and overall aggressiveness..but some one who uses his face as his defense? Come'on bra! You are on the wrong sport!

Floyd, Rigo, and others just dont get enough credit! They will take 90% of all boxers to school!

It amazes me how so called fans call a fighter boring and a runner when they use the "SWEET SCIENCE" Using angles,timing and thinking.Not just going balls to the wall and just swinging like some drunk in a pub..sure that may excite you but that does not lead to a long career.Boxing is hitting and not getting hit,thats how you prolong your career.There is a reason why at 48 Hopkins is still a world champion,He ignored the crowd and fought his fight.Now you have promoters getting mad because they have fighters who actually box and don't go out there fighting like a damn idiot.It seems like people have lost the meaning of boxing and don't understand the sweet science anymore

Your getting mad at ppl who criticize fighters who choose box but then u go and criticize the fighters who fight aggressively n come forward all night. Smh

Thats fine but why cant you use your IQ to finish and hurt your opponent? Being safety first doesn't mean you are smarter especially when i've seen that style back fire on plenty of boxers when they lose fights simply because the other guy was more active!

Boxing knowledge isn't confined to a ring.
