why are philly fighters seem exaggerated?

do philly fighters have to nutt on philly cheese steakes is that why you like it so much? I mean, it's just bread, meat, and slices of cheese. Quit exxageratin'. Subways got the same stuff. Steve steaks is really good. Jims is good aswell depending on where you are visiting. They are both in the NE. But also old city has alot of good eats.

Please do! I'm heading back down to Philly after Christmas. I've been to the big places (Geno's, Pat's, Tony Luke's), looking for something off the beaten path, but still high quality. Steve steaks is really good. Jims is good aswell depending on where you are visiting. They are both in the NE. But also old city has alot of good eats.

Much like the Philly Cheese Steak, people from Philly always think their fighters are the best. You know, I've been to Tony Luke's in Philly, supposedly one of the best for Cheese Steaks. I wasn't that impressed. But if you talk to someone from Philly, there's nothing in the world better than a Philly Cheese Steak. I'd imagine Philly fight fans feel the same about their fighters as they do about the cheese steaks. Personally I think their fighters are better than the Cheese Steaks. Im born and raised in Philly and my fav fighter is Roy Jones Jr. Last time I checked he is from Fla. I might be wrong though not really sure. Also, when you go to places that try and pass off the Philly cheesesteak yea we are allowed to complain. Tony Lukes is very good but by far Pats and Genos my man. I'll even say Steves and Jims aswell. Tony Lukes is known for more food than just chessesteaks my friend but I know what you mean. Alot of ppl like the stuff they grow up with. I like Bhops alot prolly one of my all time favs. But its not just bc he is from Philly. One thing I do admire is how he gives back to the city. Alot of guys forget where they come from he never did.

I never got the whole stop hating thing. My comments never had anything to do with "hating", especially my comments that you quoted. I asked if amateurs get paid or where does the money go to. Plain and simple. I forgot you're from Philly. This misunderstanding on YOUR part might cause a shootout. Your bad. :bottle: Well Im glad you said your sorry bc I dont sit here and say sorry to haters. You did shit on Philly. You made a thread about it dude come on lol.

Well maybe there are laods of fighters in Philly, but not all get to be famous. You have cities that people know as gay cities but that doesn't mean you'll get 50 Elton John's.

Luckys on kensington ave and c*h*i*n*k*s(not the racial slur haha) steaks all great cheese steaks. they wouldn't let me type it first.

Please do! I'm heading back down to Philly after Christmas. I've been to the big places (Geno's, Pat's, Tony Luke's), looking for something off the beaten path, but still high quality. There's this place galled gooey looeys which is my favorite in south philly. I forget the exact address I'll have to find out its off moyamensing and moore though. There's a few others gooey looeys is some small ass deli hiddenback the cheesesteaks are packed with meat and cheese its so hard to finish even a small one. their hoagies are the shit too.

lots of great fighters have come out Philly, why are you hating on them so much?

I don't get the whole thing about "Philly Fighters"? What's so special about them? I havent' heard too much about fighters from Philly, maybe one I can recall is Meldrick Taylor, who had fast, flashy hands, but I thought he lacked power to stop his opponents from putting him into his permanent situation (brain damaged). Bernard Hopkins isn't much of anything to me either. Good fighters overall, but I had no idea a fighter's residence has anything to do with being a good boxer/fighter. Is this all part PR? Aside from Frazier you forgot someone else from Philly http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb156/trialbyfire34/fresh_prince_of_belair.jpg

What an idiot. How would the venue, doctors, etc. get paid like everyone else said. And the who is up in here talking shit on philly cheesesteaks. I don't see cheesesteaks comin from anywhere else. Tony Lukes is ok there are a million places better I could suggest. Philly is a great boxing town always boxing going on and like people said it's always exciting and great fights to watch on any level. The Blue Horizon is amazing to watch boxing matches at. I'd rather watch some great little matches there than at MGM or something. Please do! I'm heading back down to Philly after Christmas.

Oh? And where does the money go to? The amateur fighters? From what I heard we don't get paid. :liar: Who does the money go to then?:wtf: What an idiot.

From what I heard we don't get paid. :liar: Who does the money go to then?:wtf: The cash goes to the doctor, to the venue that was rented out, to the trophies (sometimes ams DO get cash instead of trophies or medals), and I'm sure I'm forgetting some other stuff. Go to any local amateur show. If you don't weigh in to fight and you're not a coach it costs money, usually $10-$15 to watch.

I never shat on Philly entirely. I was curious about it. Saw the taylor vs. Chavez fight. The commentators seem to exaggerated Meldrick being from Philly so I was curious as to why there's an exagerration with Philly fighters when we all know a KO punch/puncher from ANYWHERE int he country/world is just as vicious. I hope this is not Philly pity? No he's just pissed because he made a thread earlier about where's the best place to live to train for boxing because it's to cold where he lives. I said boxing is not supposed to be easy, and that some of the best fighters came up out of Philly, so now he's trying to shit on philly to discredit me.

Plain and simple. I forgot you're from Philly. This misunderstanding on YOUR part might cause a shootout. Your bad. :bottle: This guy mustve gotten beat down by someone from Philly. Bc he is really bitter about something. Also the money goes toward the place it is held at. The community. Remember there are alot of parts in Philly that dont have money so alot of that money go to there. So stop hating my man.

well yeah a ghetto like Philly would pack a crowd. anyone turns out at a free fight. The pro fights too, if the tickets were bootlegged. LOL. No wonder it's packed. Ive never been to a free boxing fight in Philly and I live in Philly. We always have very good cards like someone said either pro or am. Also some of the area of the city some fighters are from you actually do have to fight your way through. Also you get alot of people opening gyms for kids so they stay out of trouble. Also Bhop was a down and out thug. He did whatever his boys told him to do and he paid for it. So he is kinda like a hero here bc alot of kids guys are in his situation or atleast going there and he is someone to look up to. There is a good part of this city that dont have enough money to help kids with a rec center or a pal center. So they look to boxing to help. Bhop has also helped by donating money.

philly don't get as cold as your sorry ass.
