      Well-said. It's as if they hate May and need to validate themselves by saying, "Well, I like this other guy so my opinion still matters and I'm still a winner"

        Of course Lomachenko is also a ring artist, but why not make a thread for him instead of posting about him here?

            Boxing artistry, Larry. This is your thread. You should know the central theme.

            Man, Golovkin is a brilliant boxer. Killer jab, left hook to the body, right cross, right uppercut, footwork, perfect balance, can box, can brawl, superb punching technique, solid defence when he fights more measured. The guy is just beautiful to watch.

                  Man, people still think Kovalev is a basic fighter in 2017. The guy gave a great, smart boxer in Ward hell - you don't do that if you're basic.

                  Great jab, left to the body, right cross, underrated speed - in fact, underrated defence too. How often have you seen him clipped?

                  There's a beautiful, brutal artistry to Krusher.

                    Floyd had to earn his respect through years of beating champions and HOF level opponents. Some guys are given the same respect having defeated no hof'ers or having only 8 fights.

                    It would sure be nice if some posters actually made guys they like earn respect and not just give it to them based on how they look.

                      I am still wondering if he will look this good against a HOF level opponent.

                      It's like giving a great college or high school player the same respect you give Kobe. How can you do that and expect to be taken seriously.
