    Boxing styles you hate

    I'll start

    I hate boxers that throw meaningless punches in flurries just to score points. Calzaghe, De la Hoya, SRL. These are 3 boxers that had punching power when they sat on their punches but many times they were content just throwing meaningless arm punches that barely landed just to get the attention of judges. I hate that boxing style.

    Examples

    Calzaghe vs Hopkins

    De la hoya vs Whitaker

    SRL vs Hagler

            I can't stand boxers clamping their opponents arms, like Ward always does, N'Jikam to Stevens, and Floyd to Maidana.

            Referees should put a stop to this, it's supposed to be illegal.

            And judges should not score rounds for runners who pitty-pat without ever throwing a really effective punch.

              ^^^^^^^^^^^ this

              as well as back pedaling and fighter that runs the whole round to save a boring majority win.

                  The only style I dislike is a guy that comes to just sc**** by on the cards. I don't give a **** what technique he uses, if he came to sc**** by and hopefully just wina points decision, then GTFO.
