I hate these threads that present interesting questions, but REALLLLLLLY are an agenda driven angle not really a question type thread.
I'm all for guys fighting how they wanna fight to win fights, but for me personally I think I'd be a boxer who'd rather be in exciting fights even if it put me at greater risk of losing. Fans booing would have an effect on me. Or fans cheering at an exciting exchange would make me wanna do more of them as long as I felt I was coming out on top or even in them largely.
And there still is your personal style & natural talent to add into this equation to. I'm not a finesse mfer like Floyd or Sweet Pea. I'm more gritty, gutsy & able to take a mfers head of with my power which I was often complimented on when working with coaches & sparring. So its not like everyone can be a guy who can box boringly & still win. Some mfers are boring & lose. Its not that f#cking cut & dry.
Obviously you want to be the boring winner. But is that good for the consumer who is the sole reason fighters make a living? No.
This is a really ****** question and I have no idea why a consumer of the sport would outright root for a boring fighter. You have no stake in his career. You're mentally ill, Larry.
Give me JMM, Mayweather, B-Hop longevity Career instead of being out of the sport by 30-32 years old from taking years and years of punishment. These are guys who was still skilled enough to score big WINS later in their careers compared to their counter parts who was "MORE EXCITING and did not have the same amount of success!
They would if they could. It's only boring because their opponents can do fuck all to make the fight competitive. That's why all the fighters casuals call boring happen to be some of the most skilled in the sport.
no they dont, they call a boring fighter boring. its not to do with skill, lomas got to be one of the most skillful going with his footwork etc and casual fans in awe of him from what ive seen. People dont like negative boring fighters. Why do you find this so hard to understand??
