Should Fighters Be Given Credit For Having A Defense First Style?

you are right..no one can be this damn ******

He mentioned Floyd and Hopkins who clearly dont just go straight back and use distance to OUTBOX their opponents and it is usually not even close

Yeah, they are good examples of how you can win going backwards. That being said, in disputable rounds it may weigh against them.

Rios and Provodnikov come to mind.

I prefer defensive counter punchers. Luckily there are fighters of all types and styles for boxing fans to follow.

In my experience though it's only the most casual of fans that prefer sluggers.

In any other sport if a team wins the league by playing in a safety first relatively boring manner they would still be celebrated as success is the most important thing. However when it comes to boxing the most dangerous sport you should get hit and give away points to please the fan? The same fan who turns on you and calls you **** after one loss? You are a joke.

[just the facts]

boxing is about entertainment. people on here seem to lose track of that.

Dumbest thing I've ever heard of, boxing is about money, like it or not

If it's so easy there'd be a lot more doing it.

I know you want them to stand still to give others a chance to beat them but it doesn't work like that.
