    I prefer a war to a running match. Maybe that makes me casual...*shrug*

      but a pac vs floyd would be the best combo of toe2toe and boxing skills display

        Khan vs Mayweather because Khan schools him but gets robbed on the scorecards like Maidana was.

          Khan doesnt really fall into the technical/sweet science category.

          There's nothing wrong with a boxer having movement as long as his movement comes with offense. Look at Pac for example. He has great lateral movement and can get out of harms way then in a split second strike like a cobra. One of the hardest boxers to watch was Cory Spinks. His style was just awful. Couldnt stand watching him run around the ring while flicking jabs for 12 rounds with no real punch commitment.

            i will always prefer toe to toe over the sweet science. not saying i dont like watching a classic chess match. but its a fight, and i like to see people get punched in the face lol

            nothing wrong with either style. i also like boxer vs puncher fights

              i like toe to toe because it's in those exchanges you truly see what a person is made out of.

              seeing a fighter show great courage and fortitude is what boxing is all about.

              that is why i like frazier more than i do ali.

                Keith Thurman vs Manny Pacquaio..

                I don't want to see Khan at all in the ring with Mayweather, he's not worth it.

                  I would rather watch a toe-to-toe action fight

                    I would go to Thurman vs. Pacquiao. Not because of the styles but because its a competitive fight between two of the best.

                    If it were Floyd vs. Lara I would go to that instead.

                      I think both fights are being miscategorized... Both fights would have some of each element...But Thurman vs PAC is the better fight.
