    Two counter punchers spending the whole fight doing nothing but waiting for counters...

    A guy who refuses to go for the kill against an opponent who they are clearly out-classing...(Mayweather and Hopkins are known to do this)

    Guys who showboat after getting tagged (Malignaggi)

    Excessive holding, definately the worst part of boxing for me. Can't stand when fighters are allowed to abuse it as a tactic.

    From the list, probably runners, but only when they do it just to survive like Mosley did. I appreciate great boxers who know how to utilise the ring to outbox opponents

    I was gonna say that :thumbsup

    ya i hate that,"obsessive" clinching,especially if the dude has no power.
    I can stand slick fighters or technical fighters as long as they don't hold too much.I view it only as a last resort to stave off a knockout

    Clinching is like the ultimate spoiler

    I went with dirty tactics because thats the closest thing to excessive holding. That **** is boring. I like the fights where there is almost no clinching and they both want to box their way out on the inside.

    i voted for runners because with every other option you are getting atleast some action to fullfill that primal need that us males have

    im not a fan of dirty tactics but when used in the right situation it makes fights amazing

    barrera is my fav fighter because of this. knowing he had outclassed hamed and then deciding to risk disqualification by getting him in a head lock and slamming hes head into the corner post whilst saying "whos your daddy' made me jump out of my seat cheering

    the marquez hit basically gave marquez the win
    i still cant believe that ref ruled it a slip and then took 2 points away from barrera

    (dirty tactics) clinching, stiff-arming, intentional headbutts

    What really bothers me is opponents who accept it! If I'm in a fight and I keep getting clinched, I'm gonna at least hit the guy in the ribs, trip him, punch him in the hip... yeah that's dirty, but to see a guy stand around and accept the other guys dirty tactics is infuriating!

    Please add another option for having a morbidly obese midget combing your 1/4" hair while being introduced.

    Boxing in MMA is ****ing terrible, in fact so is all striking for the most part. There are a few good guys but not many.
