I can genuinely say i am angry after seeing this interview how the boxing world has just absolutely abandoned what can only be described as one of the best fighters of a generation....respect to roy jones [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGz-unNi1dU&feature=player_embedded[/ame] This should also be a wake up call of just how dangerous the sport we love is.
nah nah... half the fighters who get in the ring are cowards. Just ask certain ESB posters who like to throw that word around.
no doubt some believe he deserves what happened to him. me? at the time I was slightly young and naive to even read about it, all that mattered was that my favourite fighter since childhood went in there and again hung his balls out to dry and came out with the victory. Now? sick ******* no doubt about it, there are plenty of them. Did he deserve what happened to him? Hand on heart no. As for the **** he said before the fight, well, that happens in the fight game.
the thing that gets me is the fact that he made less than 100,000 for that fight and now his medical bills each year add up to about 82,000 dollars i know a few years ago benn held a fundraiser a few years ago that raised a lot of money this was the guestlist Gerald McClellan Iran Barkley Nigel Benn James Toney Chris Eubank Johnny Nelson Steve Collins Micky Cantwell Junior Witter John Weir Frank Bruno Lloyd Honeyghan Alan Minter Billy Schwer Charlie Magri Jim McDonnell Kevin Leushing Nicky Cook Henry Wharton Derek "Sweet D" Williams Dave "Boy" Green Nicky Piper Robin Reid Clinton Wood Richie Woodhall Jamie Moore Jonathan Thaxton Prince Naseem Hamed Spencer Fearon Takaloo Enzo Maccarinelli Paul Hodgkinson Paul Ingle Frank Warren
This is why I feel Floyd Mayweather 100% when it comes to taking punishment and being risk adverse. Fans hate on him all day for using which really is THE RISKIEST STYLE in boxing. These guys already do so much for the fans just by putting their lives on the line EVERYTIME OUT. People kill me when they say he's afraid of losing his 0 (which has been on the line 41 times already btw) when there is so much more at stake. Everybody's talking legacy this and my atg list that, but none of that **** matters when the well dries up. When you get broke or get punch drunk your name being on some guys list who has never boxed before in his life is not going to matter. These casual or diehard (or ****** esb) fans, are not gonna be there to pay your medical bills and offer financial or any support for that matter. I hope he contiunes to **** some of you off while looking out for his and his family's best interest!
No. We hate on him because he talks mad **** and doesn't back it up until he's absolutely forced into it.
The man is a millionaire he isn't FORCED to do anything. I didn't know Floyd Mayweather was employed by any of us. And as for talking ****. I'll bet any person who has been doing anything since they were in crib, we'll just say boxing but this goes for ANYTHING. I'm sure anybody who considers themselves a true expert and are dedicated to a craft since they could walk isn't out to prove **** to anybody! And could probably care less what people who don't do what they do have to say. It would be a shame if he and Pacquiao never fought, but I'm sure both of them are very sincere on feeling like they don't need the other one and I can fully understand why. And to answer the thread's question. Boxing biggest disgrace? Same things that we love we hate. That would be the Promoters, The Sanctioning bodies, The corrupt Judges, etc. The very same things that make the boxing world the boxing world. Without them what do we have??? MMA Ugh....
thank you... this forum does get annoying sometimes especially over the last few weeks you would think pac, mayweather, haye and the klitschkos were the only boxers in the world the way people go on about them
At first when I saw that I felt terrible for him nobody deserves that kind of punishment in the ring, after reading deeper into his background and what kind of guy he was I say **** it, It could not have happened to a more shitier person. Thats Karma for dogs and other animals right there.
This is boxing, boxer should expecting that. He's a fighter and he should do his things and if he can't do his things then retire from the sport. Simple as that. atsch
i just this minute read the article that i guess you are talking about i would'nt wish this on anyone but after reading that i dont really feel that sorry for him anymore it does seem like karma.
