Will "boring styles" eventually kill boxing?

[JDezi4]

Maybe, cause MMA's been really entertaining... And I've been finding myself leg kicking my brother more than usual...

I'm really hoping Keith Thurman turns out to be the truth cause he's our only hope... Skill, athleticism, and punching power...

HOPEFULLY, Danny Garcia improves vastly... Still possible, cause as of right now, he's begging to be exposed... But hopefully he improves cause that father does the talking, son does the walking thing is an interesting dynamic

But to be honest... Basically everyone in my sig would be fine if Mayweather and Pacquiao were out of the picture... Clearly they're all leagues below those 2, but they're all basically on each other's level

All these fights would be far more compelling if Guerrero didn't get embarrassed by Floyd, and Bradley's reputation didn't get ruined by Pacquiao

DAMN THOSE 2!!!!

ALL were exciting to watch. Brought fans many good exciting fights. Boring fighters SUCK. and unfortunately for marketing reasons and corruption as well as no unbiased Ranking system to believe in...we have 1 & 2 best p4p on the top of the list being the most boring fighters out there. Despite who they fight the quality of opponent the mismatches and hand picked fights...they remain a top guy. lol The guys i mentioned above and some i didnt will always be remembered. Boring fighters die off. Nobody remembers them. No good memories that is!

I'm actually more disappointed that so called boxing fans can't enjoy masterclasses like we saw last night

You know what's funny about this list?

Damn near every fighter has been involved in boring fights.

The slugfests that you guys love always requires a GG and a Macklin level fight. Never a GG against a Ward or someone good. You want to see your hero's outslug a slug, and not fight anyone who is a threat.

Sluggers don't bring excitement. Name a slugger today who brings excitement to the sport?

These sluggers that you talk about bring a temporary thrill until they are exposed.

What you call boring isn't really boring. You basically are just trying to insult the fighters style that you don't like.

Who is a top slugger today? Matthysse, GG? Really? Name somebody else.

Anyway, what slugger has GG fought that was good and a slugger that he out slugged, Ouma, Stevens? Was that opponent on his level, was he good enough to beat GG. So far you GG fans have been screaming no.

We are tired of these one sided slugfests where the favorite constantly beats the inferior guy. We are tired of it.

Ward is now available GG. Fight him in February. I'll give you props if you win, lmao.

Well said, and you get green K. Very well said. Now you see the clear agenda why some of these guys post what they post.

No styles and intelligence usually go hand in hand, there will always be thick fighters who will throw caution to the wind.

I'm not saying this is 100% the case but usually the more ****** you are the more direct a fighter you are. Also you have to fight to your strengths, if your strength is timing and working of the back foot then your a counter punch etc etc etc..

Styles wont change, we will have lots of exciting fighters to come yet

i said this earlier, we all come here to discuss boxing, yet people constantly hate on a certain style of boxing, whether it be brawling or a highly skilled guy. Real boxing fans enjoy both

And you are a racist

Hmmmm....

**** u !!!!!1 cracker

Sorry, who's a racist?

[_original_]

Ward, Wlad, and Alexander: those are the only top level fighters I personally find boring on a consistent basis.
