Team Margarito is tasteless. Freddie Roach is annoying. This fight taking place stinks. But yes, I'll probably still watch it.
This is exactly why you haven't received it, Rico. I can't bring myself to feel outraged by this video. I don't know what else to say, really.
Suckback is like that man. He'll get in Roach's face and say "Margo is making jokes about using plaster of paris in his gloves, what do you have to say about that?" He'll get in Margo's face and say "Freddie Roach says you're a ****ing cheating *******, what do you have to say about that?"
Yeah I'm done. I've got an early meeting tomorrow, and I've had enough of this thread and the people in it. Laters.
Well, ****, I can easily say Lewis' children has nothing to do with Boxing. So why does Good Ol' Iron Mike get off the hook for making a comment that suggest the murder of innocent kids? If you can't take the heat then you shouldn't be watching Boxing. You're like the parents who complain there's too much gore in an action film. **** talking comes with the territory of Boxing and it doesn't matter what color, size, shape you are. When you're involved in the sport, you're subject to harsh criticism especially when you start taking shots at people. How many times has Dan Rafael been called a fatass? Surely his weight issue doesn't have anything to do with Boxing. Do you see him crying about the taunting?
I don't think my feelings have ever been clear, Rico. The wording I used has been taken out of context, although that is probably my fault. Watching the video didn't make me happy, and I didn't even laugh or find it funny. Truthfully, I was looking at the crowd to see their reaction because I knew it was going a little far. Even so, I can't sympathize with Roach, who's been discrediting and insulting professional prizefighters for 2-3 years now. No, that doesn't justify this so no need to say it. That's just the way I feel.
I agree on everything but the fight taking place, I'm not sure you would be watching if you really thought it would stink.
I'm probably more offended by the fans who accused Marquez of faking his injury on the weekend than I am about this video.
If someone doesn't already understand why making fun of one's illness is an unacceptable response to someone doing the usual "trash talking" that is related to boxing, then there is no way anyone here is going to make them understand. They were born socially challenged being unable to perceive the line which they will continue to cross throughout their entire life. With that being said, I think Roach could care less. Notice that people have said all sorts of things against Roach both professionally and personally and he said himself that it does not affect him. What DID bother him was when Roger Mayweather insulted Roach's mentor Eddie Futch.
l It's seperate issues and a different level of comparison. Taking the **** out of an Illness >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gore in an action film But were Tyson's issues involved with what he had done in the ring? Roach apparently says some '****' and people are saying it's just payback by insulting his illness. Seriously, man, this isn't even a joke. They are on a completely different level from each other. I've called Dan Rafael fat, because he is fat. I didn't call him fat because he wrote something I don't like, I just personally called him fat.
It stinks in terms of the fact that I don't believe Margarito's "I didn't know" claims, and his "punishment" for trying to load gloves is sitting a year out and then fighting one of the two biggest stars in the sport. It doesn't stink in terms of action, they are both fan-friendly fighters and it should be entertaining.
