I love all of this about our game

 

The suspense knowing that anything can happen at any given moment.. The skills and the variables in each matchups.

 

+1

 

A smooth moving slick boxer using the sweet science to break down a tough fighter.

An unskilled fighter against all odds using sheer will, determination, and conditioning to overcome and break down a superior technical fighter and win a "hopeless" fight by KO.

Amazing.

 

Do I clap or cry? :think

 

The 1 on 1 aspect, just your hands to see who is the best man.

 

i cant find another sport anywhere else that has as many glaring faults yet nothing is ever done

 

I think it is just too "real". "Boxing" has been around and lives in EVERY culture in some form. It defies organization, but at the same time draws us on a genetic level.

It just can't be contained by any rational business model!

 

when all the bull****, the money, the promoters, and egos finally get swept aside and you get two see two athletes in their prime compete in a 1 on 1 contest of skill, strength, speed, stamina, chin, and heart.

 

I love it when Mexicans win.

 

i love it when mexicans claim it is the warrior mentality to use their face as their number one defense method.

 

When a boxer punches and doesn't get hit...

even though katsidis lost to casa i admired his courage and how his warrior heart made him last as long as he did.

 

24/7 episodes. They're fantastically made and always make my adrenaline go fast

Big knockouts

Defensive genius

Fighters that go to war

Super 6 scenarios - great idea, now lets try another weight catagory to find out who is truly the best

Floyd Mayweather - as much as I HATE him, the things he says just crack me up! He actually believes what he is saying. The day he catches a serious beating will be one of the happiest days of my life. Ill lose alot of money, but Ill be happy. But we need characters like Floyd Mayweather, shouting their mouths off. I hate him, so thats why I watch him, in the hope that he gets beat.

Chris Eubank/Nigel Benn/Steve Collins - all British and all exceptional fighters who built up an amazing rivalry

Jim Watt - The best commentator in the business. talks with pride and passion about boxing

Prince Nazeem Hamed - A great character who first got me watching boxing - his entrances and ring craft were a joy to watch. Yeah he talked too much and was arrogant but he didnt have any malice in his heart towards his opponents.
