Name something overated in boxing

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

the so called "boxing" fans are whats overrated

[Syf]

Your face!

[HURTFEELINGS]

cherry-picking, quite sure promoters ask trainers before-hand how do they think their fighter will matchup against "so-n-so". Do you think the trainer is supposed to pick someone (an opponent) for their fighter that they think will beat them?

I sometimes feel a fighters trainer is overrated. Now, I'm not saying they don't play an important role or teach new things to their charges but and this is a pretty big but, when a fighter wins, for example Haye v Valuev, someone like Booth is made out to be a genius. What's his nick name? The wizard? Sorcerer? lol something along those lines. Yet when Haye lost to Wlad, there was hardly any mention from the media about Booth not being able to motivate his man in the corner or a poor gameplan.

That's how I see it anyway.

these pure boxing enthusiast fans, most are just fans of a pure boxer style cause their favorite fighter are one. Which is fine but when you muddy up your love with the beauty of the sport thats when you longer become a fan of the sport rather just a troll supporter for your favorite boxer. I have seen plenty of these type here posting.

Punches in bunches especially when they don't or hardly ever land. Sure it looks nice, you're playing to the fans but if it isn't effective I really don't care if you throw 1000 punches

Taking a punch. You can walk through a punch? awesome!! Now try avoiding four to land one and then impress me. Yes ruslan, I'm talking to you.

HBO and there "exciting" cards that apparently trump all of PBC and showtime

lets be honest,alot of times they air straight forward typiucal matches that end up being good but no because theu anticipated it,just because it happened.

Something over-rated? Being undefeated. I do not mean that being undefeated is not a great achievement, my point is taking a loss is greatly exaggerated by a huge amount of people these days.

Two guys could finish their careers at the same time after fighting the same amount of times, one retiring at 60-0, the other retiring at 56-4. Going purely off record, there is no reason at all that the man with four losses could not be a greater boxer. I wish some people would realise that. I hate hearing things like casuals saying a guy sucks if he has lost a couple of times, or he lost recently so forget about him etc....

Titles...


Too many titles and literally 95% of champs didn't beat anyone to deserve a belt..

So it's laughable when people act like fighter x has beaten so many world champs, or fighter x is a multi division champ..
That's doesn't mean anything anymore

Power. If you can't set your shots up and vary your attack to land shots your opponent won't see coming it doesn't matter.
