Defensive fighters are treated unfairly in this era

It's not really that much more advanced. It just seems that way. Some offensive fighters make defensive fighters look better than what they are. Guys are to easily defined in those two groups because they are missing too much of the opposite skill.

 

And not everyone can be Floyd Mayweather. But Duran was not the only one. There were others in that caliber. Highly skilled in both offense and defense. Yes you use what works best for you. But if you have the idea you are never going to get hit, wrong idea.

Box with a boxer? Then they are in the wrong sport if they can't afford or don't want to get hit. Even a good defensive fighter knows he is going to get hit. Fact is guys put more emphasis on craft then than now. Now it's about getting to the fight in shape even if there is no real game plan or understanding of movement and body mechanics

 

I personally think it's the other way around. Defensive fighters are always getting called brilliant and anyone who is not a defensive fighter pretty much get thrown I to the mindless brawler brute caveman category. It seems no one appreciates the intellect it takes to move forward toward your opponent while throwing heavy shots (many by some (brawlers) naturally giving their opponent many advantages. So when, where, and what punches they throw has to be very carefully decided or the advantages they give will be exploited. Defensive fighters are only taking advantage of what's being given, you don't have to be a genius to do that, you just have to work on your speed and reflexes to do it.

 

lol, so you hate Floyd slightly more than Cotto. Come to think of it, not exactly sure why you said that but hey, whatever, cool to know.
