It's not is fault im just telling you what traditionally people consider exciting. Listen I'm a Bernard Hopkins fan and i find his fights incredibly entertaining and I love watching the sweet science of his game as I do other technicians such as Floyd etc. But at the same time, a brawler or a all action fighter such as Gatti isa different kind of excitement altogether. Plus with broner two of his three fights were against subpar opponents, whereas Matthyse for example fought two top guys and they were bangers.

Oh I aint knocking Matthyse, Gatti or other brawlers. Believe me I love that as well, but its sumthin about Broner that just puts me on the edge of my seat. Just love watching him fight and that probably adds to my excitement for dude. For me its exciting watching his defense when folks try to get in and cant so that should tell u why I chose him. Not just offense. Got Em!!

For me, I really enjoyed watching Winky Wright's fights and was always entertained by them, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if people thought he was a really boring fighter like 206 said about BHOP. By no means would I call either of those guys exciting fighters though. Broner isn't exciting to me as a fighter. I like watching his fights because I'm a huge boxing fan, but I'm not sitting on the edge of my seat watching him fight either.

Totally off subject, anyone notice Broner leaves his mouth open as he punches? He's gonna meet with an accident from an iron chinned fighter sooner or later a la Victor Ortiz

thats the beauty of this just like anything else. We all dont share the same opinions. Obviously me and bigface think otherwise about Broner. No ones right or wrong in this. Its what our eyes see and like. I am a huge boxing fan so I love watching all fighters so its gravy this way. Got Em!!
