didn't watch the video but no way would SRL be considered boring today. SRL always threw combinations and there's no way that would bore people. SRL was also a killer when he had you hurt. -
So says the man that has made watching paint dry exciting in comparison to some of his fights.Comment

Yeah.
Probably not.

If he fought like he did against Duran in their rematch and Hagler...YEAH!
But I totally get what B-Hop is saying and I agree with him for the most part and more fighters should speak up on it, defend your style, don't try to change it and be like the rest because HBO and Lampley wants you to Brawl MoreComment

no he wouldn't. boxing hasn't changed much from then. if anything, he'd be more entertaining since he'd have to fight 12 instead of 15.Comment

alright, since I see you guys didn't watch the video I'll explain. He was talking about how all out wars with no skill is glorified these days. How fighters, specifically slick black boxers, are called boring. He then talks about how boxing is getting away from the sweet science that it was built on. He calls the names of some fighters that would be considered boring today. and he speaks on how taking those punches affect the fighters outside the ring. It was a great interview.Comment

I can see what he's trying to say but Leonard and especially Robinson aren't the best examples to use.Comment

Ali would probably be criticized for being "boring" too by the standards people have for what's entertaining in the boxing ring todayComment
