    To the fighter maybe but certainly not the fans.

    I'd rather be a winner ... thats where the prestige comes from ... is winning ... entertaining fighters are only known for being entertaining.

    Prime example: Arturo Gatti

    Winning and it's not even close. Why do we play (fight)? We play (fight) to win the game (bout).

    poll should be like this...

    winning - by potshots / running

    entertaining - by fighting / boxing

    Way to twist the poll. It's clearly comparing guys like Floyd to guys like Gatti.

    For the fighter winning, for the guy like me paying PPV then of course entertainment.

    When I compete at anything, I care far more about winning than other factors.

    The dude that said winning like Chavez JR. brought up another good way of looking at winning. Winning to pads one record off bums or entertaining outside the ring with your antics but being boring in the ring?
