...the better it is, the less people appreciate it... What is the fighter that, for you, best represents this statement. A boxer you didn't appreciate at first when you didn't understand the subtleties of boxing, but that you love to watch now. I think of B-Hop and Sweet Pea from the top of my head.
they dont like that slick style the brothas have. white folk cant stand the fact they will never be as skilled!!! smh...floyd and rigo are victims of a racist movement in boxing that puts people like Poochiao onto an undeserved plateau. yall see the reaction from Broner's beatdown, white folks and mexicanos were a little too happy to see a brotha down
jazz is a pretty apt metaphor for boxing. I don't know if agree with the 'better it is the less people appreciate part' -- from what I remember Kind of Blue is still sells well after all these years. The improvisation, the rhythms, the uniqueness of each fighters style (or sound). I used to hate watching Hamed fight, he just looked uncoordinated and wobbly, but after going back through his fights I think I get it now. I was never a huge fan of his unorthodox style but it grew on me eventually.
Euro fighters have been cheated in America for years, also Mexican fighters, etc. Euro fighter need to be aware of the criminal judges and referees in America, example, Peterson/Khan fight, in which Khan won the fight, but Peterson's referee and judges helped him, it was a criminal fight and Peterson tested positive of steroids afterward. Yet, the IBF did nothing..............Matthysse knocked Peterson out in the 3rd round and should be given the IBF title.............
Big George is wrong! Boxing is more like Jizz. Some fights make you shoot your wad others just leave you with blueballs.
