Originally posted by Hop View PostBold, very bold, ISH. I enjoy watching the fights of Mayweather, Rigondeaux, Hopkins, Ward, and the Klitschkos. How about that?!
I hate the way Ray/Ali moves for the sake of it.

Originally posted by Hop View PostIn a word, "no". The only fight involving the guys of today whom I mentioned in my post that would pique my interest like prime fights of MA & SRL would be Mayweather-Pacquiao. Yes, I'm a diehard holdout, but readily admit that the prime window for that one was, of course, immediately after Pacquiao-Hatton. The greatest fight nEVER!
straight after hatton the fight was 50/50, i could envisage either guy winning it but not it's a mayweather fight, still tough, still hard, will hurt may more than any fighter but pacquiao isn't a beast any more....i think he's matured as a person and that's affected him in the ring lol good for him, bad for us

Believe it or not I do have some similar feelings about Ray & Ali at times (or Naseem). I personally do not like 'showboating', and HATE it when it unfairly influences the judges! 'Showmanship' by itself does not = boxing credit.

I am in NO WAY saying Floyd or any of the other have had better fights, that's stupid.

But if Floyd beats Canelo, and Manny disposes impressively with Bam Bam. You know what fight I'll be calling for!

Originally posted by Hop View PostWell, I can sort of see the difference between those of today you like and those you find boring (though I enjoy them all). You tend to like the quicker-popping fighters.

Prefer Old school fighters like Graziano. Who had skills but would stand in front of you. Everyone should fight like James Toney. Toney Vs Barkley is my favorite fight to watch. So funny when the commentators think Toney's gonna be in trouble on the inside.

I thought Bradley outworked Pac enough in many rounds to earn a close decision....
When I saw the fight live, I scored it a draw and expected them to give it to Pac. I was as shocked as everyone else when Bradley got the nod. Honestly, I think Manny took a lot of rounds off and wasn't active enough.
