    Mayorgas another one that talk for hours and days, gets personal to then hug it out after the fight like aint nothing happen, (was hilarious though when he told cotto only his moms knew him n P.R)

    i agree with you though, i can respect an opponent, but at the end of the day you dont want to be Mr. Nice guy with some one thats going to punch you in the face as hard as he can after the bell rings

    And it was great, but Paulie also didn't come over during Diaz's post interview and smack him.

    Go through the motions ask for a rematch, rinse an repeat. My point is today the talent is **** outside of a few fighters. Make it interesting, show some life so we can look forward too it

    lol maybe in America...


    Anyway, if **** talking is what you want and the sport is supposedly "too friendly", why do guys like Haye and Fury get **** on all the time? those guys don't make too many friends in the run up to a fight


    like someone else said, as much as I like a bit of theatre and **** talking, this is a sport, it isn't a fight to the death between two enemies

    exactly

    People were praising Trout for being "classy".

    There's nothing stylish about being cool with having your **** stolen. As a matter of fact it demonstrates having humility to the point where its detrimental

    A) Because Trout lost and he knew it

    B) Paulie has an entertaining mouth, but he also has a terrible habit of blaming everybody else for his losses, for example, it was apparently Buddy McGirts fault that Malignaggi got battered around the joint for 11 rounds against Hatton, despite the fact that Paul ignored every bit of advice McGirt gave him



    In fact, that's a perfect example, Paulie was talking a BIG game before the Hatton fight, yet when it came to crunch time,, his performance was downright pathetic, holding for dear life every time Hatton got close (ironic after spending the entire pre fight buildup saying Hatton holds too much)


    it's good to have the gift of the gab, but it's better when a fighter can back it up

    No, it's a niche sport in all the countries that matter. For gods sake, F1 is bigger in Europe than boxing. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just fact.

    Even if you think he lost, those scorecards were a joke

    He could have mentioned I was fighting four people tonight and had no chance with how the judges were scoring, but I give Nelo credit for what he did

    But nope he didn't. He stayed silent like a good boy the way a pacquiao do. Now he's on low profile youtube interviews talking about how he was robbed.

    I do see your point, he probably should have spoken up about that

    Wow, didn't know F1 was big in Africa, Canada, South America, etc.. Thanks for that info.

    The man on the street in most of Europe can still name far more boxers than they can F1 drivers, no doubt about that

    In fact people today were asking me about the Mayweather fight, but not so much shooting the breeze about F1

    I actually agree with you to an extent, but I know you're experienced in boxing. You gain a new found respect for your opponent after you fight
