Prides definitly in it but surely a part of pride is wanting to turn up to the gym to do your best every day. There has been great ones who were lazy but i bet when they was kids and learning they worked very very hard
I agree with you for the most part. I just think there are so many things that go into making a great fighter, and as many combinations of those things as there are great fighters.
nice wee saying there. Its true i been thinking about it you get the guys who give it their all but just seem to fall short. Maybe its a special 'x' factor as it cant be 1 thing. As you could say the guy dosent have enough speed but Monzon wasnt fast or the guy dosent have a big punch but Whittaker didnt have a big punch etc.... Also theres fighters who die young or are handicapped in a way.
