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? :good
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....

This has got to be up there for me, amazing work by Reznick: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VLWBVpL23k[/ame]
Tony Canzoneri Benny Lynch SRR montage' Hagler/Hearns Mike Tyson KO's Film - the Raging Bull Doc - Unforgiveable Blackness and the YouTube guy that breaks down fighters greatness, i.e Charles & Burley among others!
We've got:- - effective aggression/punching, - defence, - 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.
Thanks! You wanna post the actual videos in question - the first 5?:good (Why did you pick those very 5?)
