    Discuss the "sweet science" and why you do or don't think it's underappreciated. I think it's underappreciated but want to get feedback from you cool posters:good.

    Why do people listen to blink-182 instead of Segovia?

    Why do people watch Transformers 2 instead of Citizen Kane?

    Why do people read Harry Potter instead of 1984?

    Think about that ****.

    imbeciles also mistake safety-first bicyclists for being professors of the sweet science whilst deeming down in the trenches guys with amazing skills for being brutish and crude because they actually take a high risk for a high reward.

    Yeah, it shouldn't be what you take from it either.

    Basically, people are poor at recognizing excellence in any art, and in martial arts like boxing this is true as well.

    :lol::good

    let me add-

    why do people listen to 50 Cent instead of The Wu-Tang Clan?

    anyway, i don't know if the sweet science isunder-appreciated by anyone who is more than an armchair fan though.
