Often heard boxing cliches you take issue with

:rofl

Kneegal Cutto is a quitter.

Senor PeePee ROIDquez is a steroid cheat and 4 time cry baby (pac x3 and Bradley)

'No Mas' BOREles is a shameless quitter and a proven PED cheat.

They are not worthy of being in the same sentence as warriors Froch and Bradley

 

You list 5 boxers who are "actively seeking out the very hardest challenges" while creating a list of 4 that don't. The problem I see is that Pacquiao has fought 4 of the 5 you list below and even Mayweather has fought 3 of them.

 

Don't you find it weird that on your list of boxers who supposedly fought the best out there, Pacquiao has fought Cotto, Marquez (f*cking 4 times), Morales (f*cking 3 times) and Bradley?
Mayweather has fought 2 of them in Cotto and Marquez too.

Thing is, most of the times it's not the boxer's fault per se -- it's the system, the $$$ that is ever so telling of which fights to take, the promoters who only seek to squeeze every $ that they can get out of their fighters.

Like take the case of Pacquiao.
Everybody with half a brain knows that it's not Pac's fault that the Mayweather fight is not happening - it's Arum's.
And Pac is too stupidly loyal to leave his promoter, even in the midst of all the financial problems that he is in now, brought forth by his promoter himself.
Pac will face anyone his promoter will put in front of him, that's for sure.
Put him in the ring with a rabid bone-wielding ****** riding on top of shark with a laser taped on its head and he'll fight it.
Can you honestly fault the guy for supposedly not fighting the best?

Bradley has ducked Khan for the sheer sake of winning the lottery against Pac and his gamble paid off.

Only thing I have going against Marquez is his lack of graciousness in defeat. And f*ck Nacho for screwing with JMM's head every so often. Made a crybaby out of a supposed gentleman.

Cotto, I have always been a fan and unlike other posters here, it was very wise of him to take a knee (or run away from Pac) when his body needed to. If he instead stood his ground and fought till the bell rang, we might not see him past Margarito and look where his career is now?

Morales and Froch are gods among mere mortals. No question there.

 

"styles make fights" nah, greedy promoters make fights

 

I don't understand what you're getting at with this one:huh

 

Any time a guy uses movement, saying he's "running" or "getting on his bicycle"

 

Great boxing skill=boring

Can't stand this one.

 

I'll be probably catch heat for this but, I get tired of "the sweet science". Don't know why, maybe it's because it seems like people are using to try and defend their favorite fighter's by saying if you don't think fighter "a" won this round or the fight, then you don't understand the sweet science. If you understand scoring, then that's all you need to know. And, I'm not sure how sweet the science is, it's usually said in reference to pure boxer's, which is the least exciting of styles.

 

Pacquiao's resume destroys Marquez's clown. Marquez took easy fights between Pacquiao fights to stay relevant and not lose. He only fought Floyd cause the money was too good and there's no danger of being hurt. Marquez seeking out hard challenges, lmao. Juan Diaz twice, shot to **** Casamayor, shot Barrera, Katsidis, Fedchenko, Likar Ramos, Jaca. Pac's resume absolutely shits on that garbage resume. Floyd's too.

 

The cliche I hate the most is when an announcer says some punching bag has a lot of heart just because he doesn't immediately quit.

 

When they use that term " what has he done to deserve a shot of the tittle" when you know anyone can challenge for the tittle without doing sshhiitt

And the worst of all

"you are only as good as your last fight" such bullshiitt

off nights and bad style matchups happen

 

I wouldn't call a boxer who fought his kryptonite 4 times a coward/cherrypicker

 

"He looks drained". atsch

 

It wasn't his decisions it was his promoter Bob Arum.
