Does having religious faith give you an edge in boxing?

One of the daftest things i remember seeing in a boxing ring was alex arthurs trainer bollocking him for nicky cook taking over and all i remember was arthur saying "dont worry god will help me" ...or something to that effect

he did not

 

Atheist boxers are like atheist rappers - rare. Probably that atheists dont feel the need to bang on about it as some religious types do.

The only one I know of is Carl Froch

 

Whatever ya think of Pac, u ('n the contradictions in his life), I've known him for many years 'n his faith is genuine.

 

according to ESB lounge cannibalism is widespread amongst Muslims

Tyson is a great example to back this claim

 

Bieng an athiest boxer and hearing a dumb ass saying god will be on his side in a fight would fill me with confidence.

 

Really, never knew that about Froch. Source?

 

Some peeps use god some peeps use fat gay friend. Has long as the boxing brain is happy

 

It gives them confidence, but sure as hell doesn't give them any physical edge in my opinion.

I don't believe God puts one fighter over another because they claim to praise him, while on TV. We don't know what these people really do in their personal lives, so I can't take what they say on TV and believe it's 100% their personality. A fighter who doesn't put God in every sentence may show God more love than the person trying to be seen doing it.
