I agree with you on this. It seems that the fighters out there are either defensive (will use the bob and weave) or stand and trade till some one falls. It does not seem like there is a fighter out there that imploys both tactics well. I think that Coralles/Castillo is a good example of this. They both stood there and traded, but for me the best parts were when one would start to bob and weave and trade at the same time. But in never lasted long just portions of some rounds. I think that is when boxing is done at its best, when someone can stand in there bob and weave and trade at the same time. It makes the fights so much more exciting for me.
