Would you rather be a boring winner or an exciting loser?

[mlac]

You want a fighter to step down to his opponents level to entertain ***** collectors like you?

i may as well put you on the ignore list, not only are you a weird nerdling but you are a massive bore.

^ this is the difference between boxing fans and the new generation of boxing hipsters.

they think they are the ones that are actually fighting, it's so sad.

' its about the W doe'

Massively concerned with how much ' their ' fighter is getting paid, like they are actually part of their entourage.

who gives a *** about purses, PPV views, 'the W'. show me a good ****ing fight and stfu you complete bunch of benders.

i dont care about the money aspect but the name of the game is winning...whether you are the one fighting or you are rooting for someone.....Ive never been into that bs, rocky balboa, rock em sock em robots you lost but gave a good show stuff....I like outright winners like Pernell whitaker, roy jones, before they were 30 and older....I can learn more watching that than an all out war, Also can learn more in a boring fight than an exciting one where its all emotion and instinct instead of brains and tactics

[Madison Boxing]

i personally think its ill when posters pump up career strugglers(Gatt,ward level guys) good fighters who have life and death wars yet trash guys who win outright against top opposition(Mayweather, Prime roy jones)

excitement and being entertained is in the eye of the beholder but winning is winning and losing is still losing.

kinda ****** to trash a fighter because his opponents cant adjust to their style...thats the opponents fault and the opposing trainers fault

I root for winners, not strugglers who end up brain dead by 28...boxing isnt played, you fight

people remember great fights. You talk about gatti like hes a piece of ****, people will be talking about him v mickey ward for decades. Whos going to be talkin about ward v brand for decades? Probably only you , larry, kigali and paulie walnuts

[Robbie Barrett]

i gave you wladimir klitscko. and i also said its a stupud question, cause i could pick any B level fighter with an ugly style, they are boring and they arent the most skilled. Someone like malignaggi for example

Wladimir is one of the most skilled HW's it's not even debatable you ******.

Malignaggi was boring? That's the first i've heard. Again you're showing you don't know shit.

thats the first youve heard?! You think malignaggi is exciting? Another example is nathan cleverly. I can keep rolling these names out all day. Anyone who is an A level fighter is somewhat skilled so your question is so ******. SUrely its more logical to recognise that being skilled doesnt automatically mean you have to be boring.

[Anton Chigurh]

Boring WINNER!

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!

Don't try to include Dinamita when it suits your agenda you ****** b**tch!

Nathan Cleverly and Malignaggi weren't considered by anyone but you as boring. Keep embarrassing yourself.

hard core fan will, but history and casuals remembers the winner...walk outside and ask someone if they know who arturo gatti is, then ask them who mayweather is...ask 10 people

thats the way it is

Mayweather will be remembered as the best of his generation, clearly won majority of his fights, all time great, and will be spoke about in the same sentence as roy jones, whitaker, leonard, JCC...he already is

Only people who remember Gatti is HBO who pumped him up and his hard core fans


I'd rather be the all time great, boring winner.....than the good fighter who is exciting but lost to every elite fighter he faced and a club fighter in Ward.


different strokes, different folks


IM a winner and get motivated and inspired by it. Watching a dust up is fun sometimes but since I watch boxing for the tactics and technique, I get upset watching pros be reckless and careless. Gatti vs Ward is fun to watch but Gatti was ******. He fought with his heart and not his head. The time he wasted fighting on Ward's level, had he had his head together and just boxed like Buddy told him, he could have got a shot at Hatton or Tsyzu or other big names.

I been watching boxing over 20 years.....i hardly get overly excited, i watch the fights to learn
