    What fighters cant you appreciate ?

    Mine is Hector Camacho. I must say i have only seen his fights with ....

    Chavez
    Rosario
    DLH
    Trinidad
    Mancini
    Leonard

    But the only conclusion i can come to about this guy is......he was an excellent counter puncher but he is the definition of a runner. Fighters sometimes get accused unfairly of being runners but this guy actually was a runner.

    I love watching defensive fighters, but not when its created by running. Ring generalship,creating offence with defence is one thing, but this guy has one of the most negative styles ive ever seen.

    Who have you got?

    I don't have alot of respect for the way he fights. Guys that throw and clinch like that are pretty boring to watch. Even some Hopkins and Hatton fights are like that. But I have more respect for Hopkins than Hatton and Ruiz

    good question...

    but uhh, i'll go with any "typical mexican brawler" i can't stand that ****, no defense, just throwing wild punches, and making up for your chin and workrate, i'm not of fan of that stuff

    also, Kelly Pavlik.....his style is so boring, 1-2,1-2, 1-1-2-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2-2-1-2

    **** thats boring

    Miguel Cotto is a terrific boxer/puncher with an enjoyable style. Can't understand why anyone would be bored by Cotto's style.

    Joe Calzaghe.

    I have watched him fight so many times, and I genuinely try to see what others see in him, but I just can't.

    Very sloppy defence, far too reliant on physical attributes like handspeed and stamina, and just simply never looked to be a great fighter in any way at any point despite fighting feeble opposition for the vast majority of his career.

    Just not my kind of fighter at all. I don't rate fighters whose main strength seems to be "workrate". I much prefer the accuracy, skill and quality of someone like Toney.

    JMHO.



    Also: Wladimir Klitschko, Naseem Hamed, Antonio Tarver and George Foreman.
