Its alot harder to initiate than counter, and frankly counter punchers who only counter are a bit pussy if you ask me. Agression should have alot more weight in a fight.
No Contest, I respect a lot of your opinions and posts, but I have to disagree here... In my very limited experience in boxing, counter-punching is hard. You have to find hole in between your opponents punches while avoiding his punches and avoiding taking too much punishment which impares your punching ability. I have way more respect for a counter-puncher like B-Hop that some jacked-up boxer who comes out wildly swinging like Mayorga. Im my opinion, there is way more skill involved in the counter-punching game. Aggression is only one of many tools in boxing.
