Which is more exciting to watch?

I like to see brawls like anyone else but what I appreciate more than anything else is skills. So I enjoy watching guys like Mayweather, Ward, Bradley, Rigo, Hopkins (yes, even him sometimes) do their thing. They think their way through a fight. and adjust as necessary. They know how to hit and not get hit. That is the ultimate display of skill.

 

not sure if serious??

 

that's stupid ofcourse offensive

 

what stops those fighters you mentioned brawling sometimes ? yes have skill but also brawl .prime example sugar ray Robinson he had skill and also brawled you need full package

 

What i'm saying is, if I were to be a fighter, that's how I would fight. I would have to be a fool to risk my health just so fans can be excited. I'm in it for myself and my health so I will try to hit and not get it. Use my jab, maintain distance and pick you apart. I want to outskill you, not just get sucked into a brawl. Anyone can do that.

 

I like watching fighters who are boxer-punchers with excellent offensive skills, and also have a good defensive skills.

Technically skilled boxers who have lot of KOs like Wladimir, Kovalev, Beterbiev, Golovkin, etc.

I don't enjoy either face-first brawlers like Rios or overly-defensive runners like Dirrell.

 

anyone can brawl effectively ? you think guys like Bradley and mayweather if they knew they can outpower and blitz you and knock you down would waste time on out pointing you and waiting for the results ?

its not easy to out blitz and knockdown elite fighters not anyone can do it you need power and speed

 

I said anyone can get sucked into a brawl, not that all can be effective brawlers. I agree with you.

 

Gamboa!

 

Depends if you think offensive at any cost, meaning going farward eating shots than defensive master boxer like Floyd, RIgo, Ward because they are the best i like to watch the top level fighters not fighters that have no shot at beating the best. At the moment best to watch is Kovalev who is offensive but smart not brawler...

 

prime example pauli malignaggi is a smart boxer he knows full well he has no power to trade so he plays it safe the only choice he has is to box

 

:deal

 

I like different styles but nothing beats a good two way action fight, so of those two choices i would choose offensive fighters but i also love defensive guys like Locche,Whitaker,Lora,Pep,Canto etc, then of course theres my all time fav Roberto Duran who was an offensive fighter with a great defense.

 

you did not see his pattern for the fighters he likes and the ones he doesn't?atsch
