What is it with Boxers and Small Man Syndrome? Got a story.

First, don't take this personally. Boxing aint a big man's sport. But I got a little info about myself.



I box for fun. Had a trainer for a good five months. Sparred. Never started official armature career, but I have fought about 10 times with no head gear. Fought one 6ft 10 guy (claimed to be 7ft). Fought one 100lb guy.

Not fought in 2 years. Still go to a boxing gym and train/hang out. Sometimes get in the ring. Help guy’s out with diet. Even help some with my knowledge in other aspects of the sport such as when to go to the doctor. Some of these guys would not go to the doctor if they broke their neck. They would try to walk it off. Anyway:

Here is the thing. Small guys always want to challenge you if you are large. I never take a fight I have no chance in, so if someone has been boxing for 10 years and wants to fight an exhibition match, I won’t do it. I tell them straight up that I do not fight matches I believe I have no chance in. Yet, they so desperately want it. They beg and beg and beg. Recently I said, "Fine, but anything within reason goes because I will not box you". The daft ******* who weighed in at 140lbs with no martial arts experience ran toward me and got a knee in the throat (match over). He reasoned that he would win in a boxing match.

No ****.

Why do these guys who say "size doesn't matter" desperately want to take down big guys? The boastful ones I understand. Put any boastful **** who comes to the gym in there and break his nose and he will probably not come back. But I'm not Jazzo in real life.

So little guys, sane people know that you are not handicapped and are people too.

I think half of them just want to show off to their girl.


Any of the heavyweight noobs experience this?

 

Sparring is not supposed to be like fighting.

What do you mean about it going both ways?

Example would help.

I have fought before like I said.

 

Oh, sorry, didn't see the edit.

What is the Big Man syndrome?

I only use facts with small guys. I will tell them that wrestling is not a good idea aginst a guy outweighing them by 60lbs if the guy knows what he is doing, for example.

 

Dude, I'm taking the **** with the size thing on the BS forums.

This was my only serious post on it.

I'm poking fun of the guys who think size is everyhting in those posts.

 

Oh, right. Like the guys who use synthol.

That is more of an official psych problem though.

And it can hardly be offensive. Hell, don't you feel bad for them?

 

He was a moron.

He tried to take me down because he was hung up on strength.

He should have just stood and punched.

 

"Tyson is not big enough. Too many of you are just too hung up on your size to admit that Valuev would whip the little man, because it is a relection on yourself"

You think I'm serious with this ****?

It is trolling.

The General Forum is ******ed, and if I made a serious, sensible post, nobody would understand.

 

But that's the thing.

I always assure the experienced fighter that he will beat a big guy with little skill.
