        Its the sport alongside athletics that is most closest to nature.Hence animals in the wild battle for dominance and survival.

          I love good fights between the best, most skillful and hardest punching boxers in the world because I appreciate their skills. They don't have to be hard punchers if they have enough other things going for them but hard punching and scoring knock downs and KOs is a big plus to me.

Then the intensity of each round not knowing what's going to happen. ANYTHING can happen. It's the circus of the unknown and that Is appealing to anyone . Punching in the face , knockouts, and the sweet science is just a bonus haha
            Good input, highly anticipated fights are just as good in the buildup and speculation sometimes as they are in the ring. What was your FOTY pick for 2019?

              Boxing has the most B#TCHY Fans, all people do is complain, a bunch of miserable F#CKS

              I do like the mentality and the potential of the next generation (Shakur Stevenson, Vergil Ortiz, Jaron Ennis, Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, Teofimo Lopez, Chris Colbert...)and I think they can make this sport great again. I see a different mentality in those young men compared to the guys who are on top right now whom when asked about fighting other top guys in their Division they all seem so reluctant and don't want to say guys names and all that petty MALE DIVA BS

              Need more boxers with a "Anytime Anywhere" mentality, everybody can't Mayweather, everybody can't be the A Side
              I totally understand the criticism of top fighters being businessmen first and fighters second. I do respect their decision to do so but it does make it far less interesting to say the least. Makes me lose hope sometimes

                  Well i like to watch it with my pops whenever we can. Also going to fights when there's one in town.
                  But boxing itself i like the underdog showing grit and heart even in a losing effort. A few examples are inoue-donaire and valdez-lopez. The latter of which was a last minute substitute and moving up in weight. Also valdez coach is all bad for him

                    All true. I'm biased to chess players...counter-punchers, feints, traps...its beautiful violence
