    I guess you could call him a "character". He's a vile "character" but a "character" nonetheless.

    He does a poem, and puts an arm around his shoulder and it's fun and laughs.

    Do I really have to point out all his vile personality traits? The fact he has put forward a slander campaign against another boxer because he was outshining his son and making him look bad. The fact he's completely disrespectful and lacks the slightest bit of class. He's as ignorant as they come. Everything about the man is vile.

    Well, it depends on how you look at it.

    The way I see it, and I think a lot of other people do, when you are head to head in boxing you throw away 2000+ years of civilization and it's anything goes, and I think that's how most people look at it, and once the last second of the fight runs out you're back to being civil.

    I don't think he's an "evil" man.

    C'mon guys, you take all this stuff way too seriously. Do you really think Mayorga thinks all the things he says?

    That's really surprising. Do you think, and I'm not being a smartass or anything, I'm genuinely curious because I find it very strange that you think so, that people who talk trash are bad people? Not in the sense of it being classless, but in the sense of just being a bad person.

    I almost feel sorry for that old coot. Talkin' all that bullschitt, with no respect for anybody, yet acting unrespectable himself, and Hatton gets starched in an all-time neck fracture KO.

    Man, your guys' comments really surprise me. I can't believe you take this stuff so seriously.

    Incidentally, today, looking for a laugh, I rewatched the 24/7 overtime with Roach and FMS and they were having the exact same discussion.

    Freddie was complaining about the disrespect and Floyd was saying "I'm having fun with this, Freddy" and "I'm selling the fight" etc.

    The differing views btw Roach and FMS correspond to the different ways in which you guys and myself view it.
