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.

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.

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!

[El Kabong]

Ok....I like defensive guys too but they aren't my favorite.

fair play!

Well it seems like most people like slick boxers, I do.. but..

people just dont like runners...

mayweather-gatti proved to me a slick boxers could be brutal... i know gatti skill set wasnt in the same league but still yet mayweather pounded his a$$..

but then you get mayweather-DLH which anyone would rather see a forward attack-slick or a forward-forward style over the slick-slick style, which looks like a olympic fight on steriods
