    Does boxing need more...?

    ...all action 1 dimensional sluggers or more high skilled master boxers?


    Do consider that the casual fans outnumber the die-hard fans...and the casual fan would prefer watching Arturo Gatti or Prince Naseem rather than Rigondeaux or Bradley.

    This is only a debate because of all the new poser fanboys from Manny and Floyd.

    Casual fans dont know who Prince Naseem is. Casual fans are people that see Floyd or Oscar or Manny on Jimmy Kimmel, etc.

    Boxing needs more fans that understand the sport and love all styles and dont nuthug a guy just because they like getting in flamewars on the friggin internet. It needs more people to actually go to a boxing gym and put on gloves...to go to local cards and really learn this perfect sport.

      Boxing need more exposure...that's all

      Regarding the styles of boxing....There will always be a mix of everything. Every era got some really good brawlers and technically sound skilled boxers...etc. Boxing would be boring if there were only one way of fighting.

        Bradley isn't a high skilled master boxer.

        He's a good athlete with great stamina and work rate.

        Don't get it twisted, being African American doesn't automatically give you ''slick boxer' status.

              This ^

              Promoters prevent some of the fights we want to see. Boxers are rarely the problem when it comes to getting matches made.
