When a fighter says he would die in the ring,is he disrespecting his kids?

Think its a figure of speech more than anything

 

I wouldn't imagine any fighter who would say that would really mean it.

 

You are obsessed with getting a bite off Tony Bellew are'nt you lirva. What a sad wee man you are, why dont you spend your days out on 1 of your yachts that the world famous gambling has afforded you to buy instead of trying to think up ways to get someone famous on a forum to argue with you.

 

Someone needs attention.

 

I don't know how to break it to you mate but you're Dad probably does love boxing more than you.

 

When you make a thread, you disrespect the human race.

 

:deal

 

Theres a few cringe worthy things get said in press conferences but "im willing to die in the ring, is he?" has got to be up there.

 

I don't think he literally means he'd be willing to die. Do you take every figure of speech literally?

 

Grow a dick.

 

Dave Hickson, former Everton, Liverpool & Tranmere player & now 604 year old Goodison Park Tour Guide once said;

"I'd have ran through brick walls for any team I played for, but I'd have died for Everton."

It's just a bull**** thing people say to show their utmost commitment. Give Tony a break, he's a fighter. How many demand to fight on when being beaten to a pulp? They're not verbally making a statement there but it's symbolically disrespecting their kids isn't it, risking brain damage?

And what about poor Lennox Lewis's kids? Tyson wanted to eat them.

 

If we are taking it as a literal comment rather than just hyperbole then its worth making the point that every professional boxer is willing to die in the ring.
Its a known possible outcome therefore anyone who climbs into the ring have accepted it in order to get paid and/or gain a reputation.

If Livras point held up anyone who chooses to work in a potentially dangerous field is disrespecting their kids? It doesn't he just wants some attention from Bomber.

Now Tony, I know you're busy but please for our collective sanity on here just say something to Livra so hopefully he ****s off. :thumbsup

 

****ing Firemen.

Disrespectful ****s.

 

I don't know about willing, maybe aware of the possibility.
