Nobody is going to argue that Rios, Gatti, or Maidana are at the same skill level as Floyd, Rigo, Ward, and especially JCC.
You are setting there on your pontificating ass telling every other boxing fan what they should and should not like.
Fuck off! I know what I like and want to see. I don't need a boxing guide.
You are never going to change boxing fans mind's about what they like and want to see.
JCC? Dummy, that post was about Pernell.
I don't give a fuck what you like. You can like what you want. I'm telling you how it is.
Stupid fans can idolize the bangers and the big punchers all they want, but the fact remains that when they go up against a great boxer like Pernell, Floyd, Hopkins, ect, they're going to get embarrassed. So dummy boxing fans can keep making excuses.
Re: The Sweet Science at it's finest
Was Crawford's win the result of using the sweet science?
I watched an old fight last week, that I'd say the sweet science was used: Believe it or not....Marvin Haglar. He is known to stand and trade (Mugabi, Hearns) or chase down and cuttoff (Leonard).
Not so against Bennie Briscoe. Haglar moved as much as Ray did against him. Differing in that Ray would run, stop, throw, then run\move again.
Haglar chose spots to stand and trade, then circle, move away (while) throwing.
Talk about Crawford switch hitting, Haglar did it to Briscoe.
Marvin didn't go toe to toe with another bald head Philadelphia fighter: He employed a sweet method of fighting inside, outside, Orthodox, southpaw that won the fight.
Not brawling all night, but picking his shots wisely.
Aka The Sweet science.:box3::boxing2:

Hagler was awesome when he was not champion probably at his peak.
Marvin became more flat footed and relied on his chin and conditioning the older he got.
