Should boxers ignore defense and movement and just trade punches?

Sure! MMA sells!

[Joe Beamish]

Should boxing be more like figure skating? Should judges award victories to boxers for their cute defensive moves even if they never throw punches?

Next Canelo will pull a Curtis Harper, and people will be all "What's wrong, don't you understand defensive fighting?"

[Real King Kong]

Fighters should do whatever it is they do best...it's up to the other guy to impose his style. That's what makes boxing interesting...there's no one right way to do it, and any fighter can win with their particular skill set on any given night.

should fighters ignore the rules and just cheat?

Yes.

This would make boxing more 'equal' so people like David Lemieux and GGG have an equal chance at winning vs people who can move

[creekrat77]

Is this just a thinly veined dig at GGG Larry?

Of course it is. It also is a "thinly veiled" way of endorsing Floyd's fleeting, pot shot and hold style as quality pugilism.

I thought so.
Plus I knew it had to have had something to do with Floyd

I like Larryxxx but sometimes they he needs to know that hes retired.

Voting Yes in the poll should be grounds for a permaban imo
