    Fighters that don't move their head and block punches with their face. What is the point of fighting if you can't move your head just a little? It is amazing the amount of fighters that get on Premium channels like HBO and Showtime that block punches with their face.

    Boxers who go on about "it's a business."

    Propped up prospects.

    Mismatches.

    Fighters only fighting twice a year.

    Promoter/Network feuds.

    Fighters hiding in a weight class because 2-7lb is just way too big of a jump.

    68 World Titles.

    People believing that a their own race of fighter is superior to all other races of fighters.

    In 2015 this is a small minority. Boxing is a Global Sport now and small nations such as Kazachstan have multiple Gold medalist and World Champions.

    barrera was a boxer puncher, far from a brawler. i love a good technical fighter, rigo is one of my favs atm, i consider lomachenko my 2nd fav to currently watch and he is the VERY SMART with his movement, he is a great example of a boxer puncher, but has the ring IQ to match
