Would you be a trash talker/hype builder to promote your fights in order to generate more revenue. Or would you be a good sportsman that is humble, down to earth and let your fighting do the talking for you. An odd question, but just wondering. There's obviously benefits in both choices.
I'd be me: respectful and sportsman-like with the occasional back handed compliment or passive aggressive remark. If I tried to be a trash talker, I would be a phony and people would see it.
It's more within my personality to let my fists do my talking. I could probbly come up with a quip here and there when needed, but i don't think I'd be known as a trash talker.
I would be a true trash talker because it's actually entertaining and fun to watch. It was Mike Tyson's craziness and Prince Naseem's trash talking that got me into boxing. It attracts people to boxing. It's also fun, as long as you don't mean it personally or anything, it's just for a laugh and entertainment value. Angel Garcia is The ****. Be very careful, there's being a trash talker, and then there's being this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJPesST-skg Name a top American fighter who doesn't benefit from having a foreign fanbase, who has been a HUGE PPV draw...ermm....not many!
I'd rather fight whoever my promoter puts in front of me, would give me more respect with the fans crying for a title shot is pathetic and shows your true colors as a fraud
I wouldn't talk **** to or about my opponent, but I would be boastful as hell in my abilities, to whatever extent they were.
I would be a clown, like Bozo. no one would take me seriously until they're dropped to the canvas. i'd make sure they're okay, then i'd laugh like no one else has ever laughed. i'd call out the Klitschko's, the Mayweather's, the Stallone's, the Clinton's, and I would hold all press conferences in bathrooms around the world. All for the publicity of my own show, Bathroom Boxing Brunch. Tacos for everyone who attend, and dollars for those who don't.
The way you all talk it up on here ,you would think you had all had a hundred fights and then move on to train more world champs than Freddy Roach and Nacho Bernstein!
Yeah, much like what jeffjoiner said, if you don't know how to act like one, you'd sound like an ass. Better be something close to your personality. I'd the the honest type. I'd actually tell them that I'm not feeling well, felt weak due to losing weight. And I'll just run and grab till i get the points win. Let's see how they will react.
No wonder the brown bomber was highly revered. His words were like his punches, short but very powerful. "He can run but he can't hide" to Billy Conn is one example.
