It is the most retarded statement in boxing, used only by retards funnily enough.

I mean, for it to happen, a judge has to watch a round of boxing where the challenger successfully counter punches the champion, moving backwards for the majority of the round and then turn around and say 'But wait, he is not the champion so he has to take the belt by fighting aggressively!' They make it sound like the champion is actually wearing the belt in the ring, and that the only way for the challenger to win is to physically remove it from his waist. Anyone that cannot see how incredibly dumb that logic is needs a smack and shouldn't watch boxing.

There is nothing in the rules to say that a fighter should be more harshly judged if he is utilizing a more defensive style than another fighter, being a champion or challenger is irrelevant.
