why do people support boring fighters?

[Larry the boss]

just cause you think its boring doesnt mean everyone does

[Metho_4u]

Please define 'Boring' .

Anyone who would beat his buttlover, or beat backneaio

[Metho_4u]

what is there to like. it makes no sense. surely the whole reason of watching boxing is to be entertained, so why would you support fighters who dont provide this? Or is there another reason why people passionately defend fighters that are boring? For those who are massive fans of safety first, negative fighters, please tell us why that is....

Why do people support bumbeaters?

Interesting that the same people who bashed Wladimir Klitschko for being "boring" praise Andre Ward for his clinching, holding, head butting, grappling and clamping style.

At least Wlad scored lots of exciting KOs - he wasn't feather-fisted.

I've gotten accused of racial biased when rooting for or criticizing certain boxers.

I'm a fan of styles. Not race. You can be half human/half donkey. If you provide an entertaining fighting style I'll root for you.

My favorite fighters of all time are:

Tyson
Holyfield
Pryor
Duran
Pacquiao
Juan Manuel Marquez
Cotto
Gatti
Johnny Tapia
SRR

It doesnt get any more diverse than that.

Good post. Agreed 100%. This is entertainment after all and also a BLOOD sport. If you aren't willing to entertain the fans who made you rich, I won't support you. No matter "race", nationality, color, creed, whatever.

You knew what you were signing up for when you chose this profession. I'm not saying fighters should just brawl mindlessly face-first, I enjoy a lot of the technical aspects, but you gotta give the fans something exciting. "Boring" fighters have contributed to Boxing's decline, and MMA's rise, IMO.

What's boring for you, can the the funniest thing in the world for me. Your world is sooooo small, dude. I'm sorry for you.

No. You know why, be honest now.

Always the same predictable posters, love Ward no matter what he does and hate Wlad, GGG, Kovalev, Calzaghe, etc.
