y dont people like slick boxers

[Hunter]

I dont like slick fighters that have no power or do not try and knock people out like Winky Wright, Malignaggi, and Cory Spinks.

I like Roy because he would knock people out. Mayweather and Hopkins are a toss up, when they let their hands go they are fun to watch but can shell up, pot shot and bore the hell out of me.....

[Rocky Balboa]

I LOVE slick fighters. I typically don't like fighters that aren't slick.

To me he had the biggest

I like slick fighters, but they have to have balls.

good point. nothing worse then a fighter not mopping up an opponent for fear of getting hit. several guys of recent vintage that had the tremendous talent , could have been exciting and fan friendly, just simply lacked the stones to seize the opportunity Mayweather comes to mind.

I like slick boxers like Malignaggi, Guzman, Toney, Mosley, Pea and Winky because they use their defence as a weapon.

[headson]

cause they usually make boring fiights

....isn't boxing about HITTING 1st and NOT GETTING HIT 2nd?

I like slick fighters....but I'm not wrong in wanting to see them FIGHT and not just run around like they are high on crack.

[El Kabong]

Roberto Duran was a great fighter defensively but no one ever mentions his skill.....perhaps because he was willing to throw down every once and a while

[gyrokai]

who dont get hit that much. i mean its the name of the game fighters like

roy jones
mayweather
zab judah (fighter before the Kosta fought)
cory spinks
shane mosley


and its all ways the slick boxers who get the pound for pound 1
even if they are disliked.

its art work that these fighters practice.

Have you bought any of their tickets for their major matches?

If not, you have no voice.

[cockey cockney]

personally i prefer slick boxers to the blue collar boxer! Give me Mayweather, Leonard, RJJ, B-HOP over Hatton, JLC, Chavez style anyday!

Well i aint gona get into an arguement over it. I just prefer the whole fast hands, in and out quickly, embarrasing the opponent style...then the whole take a punch to give one....whilst i admit fighters like that make for more entertaining bouts...is it not as much about defense and avoiding the punch as giving one! i thought thats what the whole idea of the beautiful science was about!

[El Kabong]

Do you think Duran was good on defense?


Something has to be said about guys who can still FIGHT but don't get the crap beaten out of them in the process

yeah Duran had a great defense, but it was a very different type of defense to say PBF's, who i would say mastered defense better. I aint saying i dislike the warriors....for example Marciano is one of my fave all time fighters, and you know as ive argued with you on him before!
