    Who else? Imagine if the sport were cleansed of skills-pay-the-bills fighters. We might as well save our money and go to some pub and watch the next bar room brawl.

    skills <> sloppy holding and hitting. it means having a good defense that doesn't involve holding. and i hate pot-shotters.

    If every fighter was like Ivan Calderon there would be no sport of boxing. he is absolutely disgusting to watch. Fuck him, you can have his running,tackling,holding ass.

    because:

    1. pot-shotters are generally pussies and won't trade
    2. pot-shotting creates a sustained and tedious rhythm to the fight.

    :boohoo:

    Sorry Doub...

    Prizefighters AREN'T Cavemen who FOOLISHLY Stand N 1 Spot TRADING Clubshots...Pot Shotters Trade ON THEIR Terms...

    Also, if the Opponent CONTINUES to Apply Pressure, it's DIFFICULT for him to B PotShotted...U Only See PotShotting when 1 Fighter has Basically GIVEN UP On Himself....

    Here I agree completely. It is ridiculous to critcize styles, any styles that are legal. Boxing is a sport that is about winning and nothing else.

    The legendary Kid Dynamite once claimed that anybody could fight like Lennox Lewis. Apparently noone is intrested to make the millions then:notallthere:
