    lmao thats what makes it classic though..

    it makes fights so much more interesting and the sport so much more colorful....if anything the sport needs more trash talkers i think

    right now we only have

    haye
    mayorga
    miranda (who has been losing way to much)
    floyd (retired)
    zab (lost the privilege to talk trash)

    i think thats the big attraction with floyd.. he talks all that garbage and is undefeated

    nobody else pops that shi* though

    we need more of that in boxing

    I don't mind trash talk, but I'd at least like some limit on how low the fighters go with it.

    Mayorga vs Mayweather presser would be funny. But PBF would lose his cool first.

    haha the more obnoxious the better

    it makes it more humorous... i dont think you can stoop to low in boxing.... i mean lets be honest were talking about two guys fighting each other .. thats about as low as it gets as far as human relationships go.... might as well spice it up with some trash talking

    I don't like when defensive fighters talk a lot of smack. To me if a boxer runs his mouth about how much he will whip his opponent, it sets up an expectation that he will try to knock the guy's head off and when the smack talker comes out tentative it's a real let down.

    I usually love them if they can back up their mouths with exciting fights or in the case of Ali supreme wit. I never liked Floyd cuz I felt the reason for running his supremely unwitty mouth was to sell his boring fights.

    love em...but it should be in a warrior like way, and not the Whining, discrediting way...

    like: "Im a knock him out in 4!! i dont care if he's the champion, he's superman, he eats dinosaurs... im gonna whoop that ass!!!"

    dislike: "He doesnt deserve me, who he beat?! who?!?!? he dont bring money on the table, i dont like him!"

    not to me or you maybe.. but for all the people who actually listened to floyd claiming he was going to knock oscars ass out ...

    that group felt it was boring

    out of floyds last 10 fights...
    5 were t/ko's

    and zab should have been a t/ko as well
    so should have been corley.. floyd made corely touch the canvas

    not really as boring as you think... he does it to make more money than what an average fight will make. Also, being an antagonist creates hate, and with it comes more people wanting to buy it.

    Vic & Arce are becoming great trash talkers. Calzaghe is funny sometimes, Froch says some funny stuff.
