as a boxing fan, which do you prefer?

As a boxing fan what do you prefer and what gets you more amped up...fighter who seek and destroy or go down trying or guys who play it safe and seldom take chances? This is not about any one division or any particular fighter, just your personal preference.

Skills over balls any day.

playing it safe doesn't entertain me


yes, you can enjoy the technical aspect of the sport but its not the same as watching a guy hell bent on killing his opponent

[Xyei]

I like seeing a war as much as the next guy but the thing I appreciate most is seeing a fighter who can hit and not be hit in return. I like seeing two guys who aren't all that skilled just throwing bombs on each other. I really like to see a technician at work though.

Well considering boxing's biggest stars......

Safe - Floyd

Seek and Destroy - Pac

Guess in general since they produce millions of viewers each.

.....Exactly!

.....Exactly!

give me Gatti-Ward over PBF-Baldomir any day

although Floyd might have been technically brilliant, it doesn't give me that 'damn i love this sport' feeling as i do after watching Gatti-Ward

[-MAKAVELLI-]

this ****...this is what i love most

[THE REED]

"And here comes Gatti back!"

"My God, you know you dream of fights like this, but rarely do they ever happen"

Floyd is a defensive fighter who I don't particularly like watching, but he employs ALL his skills. Its much more appealing though watching I guy feint, parry, slip punches go to the body and counter than it is watching a guy hold and hug when not waiting for openings. Don't you agree?
