    i like jmm more than floyd because he's more exciting to watch ..... he doesnt just potshot all through out the fight to win .... he sometimes choose to slug it out ...... to mayweather it wont happen, boring as hell he puts to sleep all the audience but not his opponent....might as well watch it on free tv

    :deal All the history of boxing is based upon that kind of match up.

    I personnally like skilled fighters with some power. If I know from the start that the skilled fighter cannot score a KO, I find it a bit boring. It lacks of something.

    This is why I never warmed up to watching Winky fight. U know going into the fight that even if Winky landed 200 power shots (if thats what u wanna call it coming from Winky), that there was still no way he was KO'ing his opponent.

    It depends on what you go for. I can watch pretty much any kind of matchup and enjoy it because I like subtle things. If a match consists of nothing but feinting and two guys throwing two punches per round...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I also hate it when one guy doesn't fight to win and instead goes by the motions like a shot Jones(can't blame him he's shot). It's always fun to watch skilled boxer/punchers vs skilled ko-punching brawlers because anyone could get KTFO'd. My fav kind of fights are those of very smooth technicians with very good defense but since there is such a lack of those kind of fighters I've grown accustomed to guys w/ good power that have leaky defense which make good fights most of the times. It's frustrating because guys like Dawson have pretty much every tool but they fight like a deer in headlights. The important thing in boxing is to win not score knockouts. I'll take a boxing clinic that goes the distance over a fast ko in the early-mid rounds anyday.
