    I don't understand. Can you name some specific examples?

    You mean like boxer/punchers that fall in love with their power and abandon their boxing skills?

      Because a lot of time when fighters load up and sit on their punches, their footwork and control of range go out the window.

        it's the mayweather, canelo and ward's fans coping psychology.


        if you can't box an opponent to a controversial decision in your hometown, then you are a brawling caveman.


        this is the sweet science fam.

          its only floyd fanboys. pac outboxed floyd and landed the much cleaner punches but he was schooled. when marquez landed the slightly better punches in pac-marq 3 he was robbed said the same people. kov outlanded, landed better punhes, and controlled ward with the jab but ward still outboxed him somehow.

              plus if the fighter isnt black and from the hood then they are instantly considered to be technically limited by many on here.

                Power probably teaches boxers bad habits, we only have to look at David Haye's performance up against Tony Bellew! even though he was winning the opening rounds before his injury! there was no thought or creativity in his work, he was just loading up on shots! (David Haye under the instruction of Adam Booth never used to fight in this manner!)....

                I expect allot of things to change in David Haye's training, leading up to his aspired comeback!

                  yup. You're also a ****** and DKSAB if you disagree with their opinion on those controversial decisions.


                  It only works to their narrative.


                  When Whitaker lost controversial decisions. they are automatically considered wins.

                  When Floyd or Ward or Canelo(son of Floyd) wins controversial decisions. they are automatically considered wins. if you disagree then you're a ****** that DKSAB



                  Boxing to close decisions is the only way to display the sweet science fam

                    No, he means boxers, technicians who have power: Golovkin, Kovalev, Wlad, Big Baby, Jacobs, Rigo.

                    And the answer is because those people DKSAB. That's really the only answer, you have to not know what you are watching to make those kinds of assumptions and not distinguish fighters above from true face first brawlers like Ruslan for example.

                    It's the same mistake as people assuming a defensive fighter can't have a great offense (Lomachenko, Mayweather, Fury)
