Boxing Styles and the ESBs Bias!!!

It is very easy for a boxing fan to fall in love with a master boxer versus a guy who is just physically dominating. The fans here (many of whom are the creme of boxing fans) are natural impressed with the master boxer Marquez and root for him against the physical phenom pacquiao.

I enjoy both sides of the coin -- and I especially like it when a brilliant boxer isn't afraid of mixing it up.

yeah. this is a very good thread, chimba. it's nice to finally have this out in the open. :good

 

You are correct. You are very much on to some Foucauldian analysis of our forum tonight.

Certain posters set the boundaries of thought in the forum, and in some way define the limits of acceptability of different ideas.

If posters go too far outside of those boundaries, especialy without reasoning, they are punished and brought back to the limits of acceptability.

It can be argued that this serves a purpose, an effective sort of policing of our own. But it can also be argued that in some cases, it ******s alternative ways of thinking and even perpetuates false thinking. In this case, you are arguing the later, and I think with good reason.

I see your point Chimba, although I may be one of the posters you are talking about . No....im probably not cause Pavlik and Katsidis are two of my favorite fighters. The thing is - the more I have learned about boxing, and the more I have watched since joining ESB, I have just come to appreciate the slick boxers much more because it is very hard to accomplish that kind of defensive genius and reflexes (if not impossible....its almost as if they have to be born with the gift). And lets face it; more often than not your money is safe on the boxer over the puncher in the classic matchup between the two. You bring a good point to the table though. I think that the main problem is that typically guys like Guzman and Mijares get NO LOVE, so certain people (myself included "sometimes") rank them highly and talk great about them because I feel that if they are not hyped up, to an extent, they will be ignored and forgotten.

 

good post
