5 youtube videos

[Lucian Bute]

So you make a new friend - great guy - you respect him tremendously, but he's not a boxing fan. Which 5 youtube videos would you show him to get him to start appreciating boxing and to get him to become excited about boxing?

[ripcity]

What other sports dose my friend like? Dose he like sports at all? I need to know why he dose not like boxing. Is he an MMA fan?
A lot of people who don't like boxing think it's nothing more than 2 guys hitting each other. They almost refuse to belive that it is a much more complex sport than that.

I'd probably just leave him to it Dec, to be honest. Let him suffer for his foolishness. But I guess....

- effective ring-generalship (the kind a newb would be able to appreciate, because BHop might be too much of a stretch to appreciate) + great heart, stamina and chin - intangibles that are incredibly important in boxing
- high drama from a recent name from the past they would recognise
- epic fights - from a name from the past who was considered by many laymen the greatest boxer who ever lived.

I would say that is a very well thought-out list. Thanks, McG.
