    I like both as long as it is at a high level. I find the uneducated and casual fans tend to like nothing other straight brawls. They are the type of guys who tend also follow **** like MMA

    Depends entirely on the fighter in question but generally, the exceptional defensive maestros are more enjoyable to watch

    Vlad knocked Thompson out two times and he was not timid at all. Vlad beat the crap out of Wach, and Wach was on steroids, which was found after the fight. Vlad Vs. Jefferson, very exciting fight, Vlad by knock out in the 2nd round. Most of Vlad's fights are exciting, esp. when he fights a tall fighter..........For those who claim that Vlad is timid, I suggest they watch all of his fights................Vlad won the gold medal, he did not do such without skill. Vlad is one of the most skilled boxers out there...........

    I want to see fight, not some wusses showboating their defense.

    I´m in a minority, i love watching defensive wizards more than offensive boxers. Guys like Sweat Pea, Chris Byrd and Bomber Graham are at the top of my all time faves.

    Depends on your definition of brawling. Two mugs on a sidewalk just swapping punches with no regard for defense at all is brawling, by my definition.

    But most brawlers - the good ones - in boxing refine it to an art, and it takes just as much skill as it does a defensive guy popping the jab and maintaining distance.

    But like most, I like offensive-minded fighters. They don't necessarily have to fight offensively, but they need to know when and how to finish an opponent.
    Ali for example, even if he fought a defensive fight, knew how to hurt and finish off an opponent.

    I hate it when they clinch and foul, dirty cheating ****s. I think clinching should be banned it is called a fight for a reason not a party for bum boys
