    When i first started dabbling in the Lounge i noticed that there were posters who were funny, witty, and seemed like fairly logical, reasonably sharp thinkers in the Lounge, but are posters who would come off as being partially ******ed in the General, arguing totally irrational points, devoid of any logic at all.

    Why slick boxing is considered 'good' boxing or why aggressive boxers are considered untalented or primitive.

    Addie, there are die-hard Ruiz fans. There are die-hard Ottke fans...I've seen them, they exist. And you're talking about the Klitschkos? I don't even think they're that high on the list of "Why, God, Why?" fandom? And, between you and me...part of my Valuev thing is that not once have I ever seen a die-hard, stick up for him till death, freaky crazy Valuev fan. Ever. Not once. And if the Ottke fans are there and the Ruiz fans are there, I just don't get that. ...Anyway, all kidding aside, Valuev is ten times better than either Klitschko. :!:

    Add them to the list as well. Every fight is horrendously boring, neither have aesthetically pleasing styles, and pretty much no charisma. I can understand why someone would say, "They are humble fighters, I don't mind them"...but I don't understand why people would consider themselves fans.

    You're missing the point entirely, Blur.

    Wladimir and Vitali go into virtually every single fight with stupendous physical advantages...and yet we see them working behind a jab and boring us, round after round. The Sosnowski fella didn't even belong in the same ring as Vitali and he stilled dragged it out. Wladimir's fight with Ibragimov is one of the worst fights I've personally ever seen...and Wladimir held every single physical advantage imaginable. It boggles the mind, these guys are prizefighters, they should feel obligated to a degree to put on a show. I'll clarify, I'm not criticizing those who do enjoy the snooze fests it's just something I can't possibly relate to and therefore "don't get".

    I take it back, I know exactly why there would be a diehard Ottke fan.

    Since it's Ottke, he assumed Mundine was playing possum and wanted to give him a chance. :lol:

    Can Khan's chin, possibly be that bad?
    Why did Mosley gas in the 2nd round?
    Why did Cintron jump out of the ring?
