    I do, benny. I think Haye is a perfect example of a guy who gets it.

    It is easy to sit on a message board and say that they should just go for broke, and swing for the fences. It is a different story when you are in there being punched in the face.

    You're missing the point. This is not a good strategy every time or in every fight. No one is suggesting that it is.

    That's melodramatic. These fighters wouldn't be in a boxing ring if they were worried about getting punched in the face. This is a matter of practical intelligence and has nothing to do with bravery or foolishness. You say it's easier to talk about. I say it's alot ****ing easier to just do it. Boxing is a combat sport. So is life. I don't function as a coward. Do you?

    Honestly, if a cat is like what Raph is describing, he will come out like that, if he is cautious, that is also how he comes out. Seems to be the fighters temperament more than anything

    Actually Raph, the answer to your question is, "When a fighter has money down on himself winning, or losing a fight by 1st round KO, lol
