Often heard boxing cliches you take issue with

Yeah calling any boxer a coward is stupid but it can't be denied that some are braver than others.

One of the boxing cliches that really baffles me is "you have to take the belt from the champion". You'd think winning more rounds than the champion would suffice but apparently not.

 

"boring" - I can understand this from casuals, but from supposed boxing fans, it's just ignorant. And it's always from haters or fans whose idols just got beat.

merry x-mas to all even *******s

 

"At this point, it's who wants it more"

Could it be that, one guy has a little more stamina? One guy has more talent?

Did Ali really "want it" more than Frazier in Manila. I remember Sugar Ray Leonard saying this cliche during Chavez-Taylor 1?

Chavez wanted it more? How do we measure that?

 

If Pacquaio reposts Mayweather's baby D, will Mayweather fight him?

 

" It could have gone either way " FFS, give us your scorecard, if you can't decide then what is "Draw" there for ?

 

fruity...

 

Calling a green prospect a young hungry lion. So sick of hearing that term.

 

YDKSAB - I hate when people use that ****, its so corny and automatically makes me think that the person is a ******ed fanboy who doesn't know what they're talking about. If you disagree with somebody then say why with a reasoned well thought out and logical response instead of hiding behind that crap.

Robbery - The phrase is often used needlessly when a close fight doesn't go the way they wanted it to.

Exposed - No fighter can take an L without being 'exposed'. Nobody ever just gets beat by the better guy or bested in a close fight - its always 'exposed'.

 

"Robbery"

When fanboys of certain fighters claim robbery on close fights. Close, competitive fight with some hard to score rounds? Sure. Robbery? GTFO and take the loss. The ******ed fanboys don't know the difference between a real robbery and what they think it is.

Some boxers have a history of claiming robbery themselves which makes them look like whining cry babies and this behavior trickles down to their fanboys. The boxers should be questioning their trainers instead for telling them that they are winning and to be conservative when all the official and unofficial scorecards are razor close.

 

That baffled me for a long time too. Now I take it to mean rounds where there isn't a clear winner go to the champion.

 

Leave JMM alone!

 

All excellent choices. :good

 

Just all the old sayings like you have to take the belt from the champ.
