    Boxing may have its flaws, but you obviously like it, or else you wouldn't be here. So, what are the things you like most about boxing?

    I like and appreciate the skill the sport takes.

    The simplicity with limited tools to test your will against another man's with the brutality which can be like a ballet
    Beautiful to watch a skilled individual do what they train to do best

    The best thing about boxing is it keeps giving to you.

    I am always learning new ways to live. Learning how to live the good life.

    Boxing, the study of boxing, is like a practical philosopher personal tutor guiding you in life.

    For example, this month we learnt how being hood - doesn't get you ****. And some times all you need is a KO to be a good boy. Canelo.

    I did enjoy Fury v Klitschko - have seen it many times.

    I did also enjoy maypac.

    But Golovkin is everything.

    Real boxing is heavyweight! Small classes are workshops for techniques - once it works in SHW:s - It's battle tested! Proved and legitimate techniques to use!

    My dream fight right now would be Klitschko or Joshua as Golovkin against Tyson or Hughie Fury as Mayweather - Real 6''6' 245+ pounds athletes - but with even more awsome techniques!

    One more thing: The best thing with boxing is that it's always keep on evolving to the better!

    It's like the history of warfare.

    I guess the best way to describe what I like about boxing is to compare it to MMA. I like the fact that you get to see 3 to 5 to 7+ combinations in boxing. You would never see that in MMA because that would more than likely knock a dude down. You see a lot better movement in boxing and better defense. In MMA it seems like your only defense is to step way back. You rarely see a guy in MMA just weave his head between punches. Stand up in MMA seems so sloppy compared to boxing. I also like how if a guy gets sent down from a punch it doesn't usually mean the fight is pretty much over. In MMA, it seems that one lucky punch can get through, a guy will go down, and the other guy will be all over him and the fight will be over. I realize that doesn't happen all time but the chance is obviously much greater. I like how there is more opportunity for coaching and to make adjustments in boxing between rounds. Lastly, I just feel like there is way less tentativeness in boxing. In MMA, it seems like people are so afraid to get KO'd (rightfully so) that they may spend large amounts of time just slapping each others lead hand and doing BS thigh kicks and not exchanging. That's just a few of the reasons.

    I love studying the elite fighters dissect their opposition. To me, that's so much greater than watching decent fighters beating the careers out of each other.

    ****, watching the elite fighters train is something else to me

    Must be a pretty sad life getting kicks out of others failures. True colors shown

    Genuine 50-50 / cross roads clashes. Really makes the sport interesting.
