Also another point to make is that every boxer has different physical attributes.
If all you want is a blood and guts brawl and every fight is a slugfest then actual boxing ability doesn't matter so much. Basically the bigger, stronger guy with the best physical attributes will always win.
But boxing isn't about that. I want to see a smaller, lighter punching man, with a relatively unimpressive physique still take on and win against a bigger, meaner, stronger opponent by using his superior ring craft and speed.
Take the Calderon Cazares fight for example. Ivan Calderon was 7 inches shorter and has no power to his shots, but using his slick, fast elusive style he was able to beat the much bigger man.
That is true boxing to me, Calderon was using his pugilistic skills to defeat an opponent who on paper had every advantage.
Isn't that what the very essence of martial arts is about?
