Stop giving fighters props for something that's supposed to be normal!

Pacquiao's achievements compared to Floyd are normal. Floyd has never fought in catchweights except when he was challenged by a prime Juan Manuel Marquez who was pound for pound number two at that time.

Whereas Pacquiao who is obviously overhyped fought a weakened Cotto. :good

 

**** off.

 

I agree that it is supposed to be normal but nowadays its more of a exception then a rule, boxing is a business, its kind of our own fault to be honest, we critisize boxers so badly after a loss that they are affraid to take risks, fear of getting robbed, bad refs etc. that they are hesitant to fight abroad. Thats why fighters who don´t give a **** and fight all comers wherever whenever ddeserve respect because they represent what a boxer should be like. Froch has big balls, so did eddie chambers when he decided to fight dimitrenko in germany and destroyed him.
Andre ward on the other hand got balls the size of marbles they way he is going all sven ottke on the super six.

 

i'll just show everyone how stupid and dumb you are doggie

 

Did you start following boxing since Oct 2010? Because it seems like it

 

um yeah it was like that about 20 yrs ago.now everyone wants to get paid, and now you here its a bussiness.so instead of doing the ballsy thing, or manly thing or what ever you want to call it.in this decade boxing is more of bussiness then ever.

 

Do you hate Sugar Ray Leonard and Roy Jones Junior too? They've had MORE catchweight fights with titles on the line.

atsch

 

The problem is, it's not normal, and it really never has been.

 

Agreed, therefore we do need to give props to fighters who represent what boxing should be all about.

 

Agree with the original post.

That is why we need ONE sanctioning body that mandates defenses, rankings, etc..

They should also provide some form of pension and health benefits for retired champions.

 

LOL this thread reminds me of those dead beat dads who think they deserve props for paying child support

 

You say : Stop giving fighters props for something that's supposed to be normal!

The key word here is supposed. In a perfect world, Pacquiao would have already fought Mayweather. Haye would have lost to a Klitschko. Donaire would have done something meaningful since Darchinyan. Povetkin would be boxing professionnal boxers.

This is the real world, so I don't see any problems with people giving props to the Pascals and Frochs that are around.

 

**** off you stupid ****!
