    I see alot of bashing when it comes to fighters like Maidana, Angulo, Margarito and fighters of their style, being called flat footed "tomato cans" or "all they are is workhorses w a chin","they posses no talent" and then go on about how great and beautiful "talented" some boxers are, or what "wizards they are":rofl

    So if 2 Cards were put together w "wizards" and "cans" where would you spend your hard earned $? (a ringside seat, at one set price)

    Card 1
    Arreola vs. ......
    Angulo vs. .....
    Kirkland vs. ......
    Maidana vs. ........

    Card 2
    $May vs. ..........
    Ward(SOG) vs. .......
    Haye vs. ..........
    Hopkins vs. .........

    Wizards shine their brightest when it comes time to handle "cans".

    My favorite type of fights are:

    Mayweather-Hatton
    Hopkins-Trinidad
    Whitaker-Chavez

    They do. But I am a fan of the "cans" and frustrated when I watch those fights, I remember yelling at the TV watching mosley just shuffling his fuken gloves the whole fight after round 3 w/out throwing a damn punch!

    So if you had the chance to go back in time and watch a fight and the choices were Chavez vs Whittaker or Hagler vs Hearns(the brawled it out)? which one would you choose?

    Hagler vs. Hearns was a big event and just a huge fight. It depends on the fight. I would not take Whittaker vs. Chavez over Hagler vs. Hearns, but I would take Whittaker vs. Chavez over Brewster vs. Liakovich.

    Probably the first one. Haye also seems out of place there.

    Would watch Whitaker vs Chavez.

    I get my money's worth with a 12 round fight.

    Card 2. Those athletes display technique, poise, and experience. If I wanted to see fighters like Margarito, I would go to an American bar on a Saturday night.

    I guess everyone just has their taste just like they do women, some people like the chubbys and some like the slenders.
