    An interesting question I pose to ESB. Do you like fighters who are very offensive-minded and like to put the pressure on their opponent? They also tend to have power. Or do you like defensive-minded fighters who are safety first and tend to have speed?

    Give your thoughts...

    aggressive fighters always get the headlines but it's not necessarily a recipe for success.

    still, people like to build them up because it6's what people want to see.

    Not really a question, offensive ones obviously. While some defensive fighters are great to watch (Sweet Pea Whitaker for one) for the most part they put you to sleep.

    Offencive, but if it's done technically and slick, I enjoy watching defencive boxers as well.

    Defensive fighters, because in my opinion they are the greatest fighters. There are a lot of good offensive fighters, but what makes a good fighter a great fighter is their ability to adapt. Defensive fighters seem to find it easier to adapt because as much talent comes from their mind as it does from their body. It's a more difficult art to accomplish but these guys are a hell of a lot harder to beat than offensively based fighters.
