What is hurting boxing are these School boy looking non scary boxers

Seriously, anyone else think this is hurting the sport? Boxing needs some scary tough guys like Tyson, Duran, young George Foreman, Sonny Liston, Mayorga, Vargas, lamotta not these school boy looking guys who look like good kids who get good grades or are mama boys. We have the trash talkers like Rigo, Mayweather, Froch, Fury, Haye, Broner but nobody is intimidating anymore and people want to see that scary figure in boxing the way Tyson and Duran brought it someone who is not friendly to his opponents and talks serious crap. The closest we got to that is Brandon Rios but he sounds like a gomer pyle when he speaks and that weirdo Chisora but he sucks. Danny Garcia this kid is the opposite of his father, rarely cusses, pretty respectful in interviews, looks like some pretty boy who is more focus on the ladies than boxing, without his trash talking dad he wouldn't have much attention to him. The Klitschko brothers, phd's, act like gentleman all the time, mama boys, don't talk smack, Chisora even spit in Wlad's face and Wlad didn't even do anything back. These guys are way too nice, they need to show some Ivan Drago type rage to make themselves more marketable as the Russian villains in the USA. Gennady Golovkin looks like he can't even harm a fly always smiling and not being rude in interview trying to be friendly, this guy is one of the least intimidating looking fighters ever. Stop smiling! please, this is boxing we want some bad guys who grew up cold blooded and are savages like Roberto Duran. Manny Pacquiao cant say a bad word just smiles and giggles looks like he cant harm a fly either calls fighters he is fighting his friends wtf, I mean the weigh ins lack any drama he is trying to laugh and act like this is just a fun game or something, only time I really seen someone mean mugg him was Tim Bradley and pac looked like his feelings were hurt. Mikey Garcia this guy is a freaking good old boy, doesn't drink or do drugs, doesn't talk crap, is working on a college degree, graduated the police cadet academy, way to polite in interviews. Andre Ward, can this guy do any wrong? looks like a college student and church helper who likes to give out food to the homeless. Nonito Donaire overly friendly in interviews, looks like a school kid, non intimidating. Devon Alexander wtf is up with this kid? always giggling and laughing and smiling even when he tries to talk crap, dude looks like a kid who likes to annoying his older brothers, come on man grow up already dude stop laughing all the time its not a joke, seriously man Alexander is one of the worst does he take anything serious its like he has to smirk every time something serious is asked. Looks like a church kid too.

I like most of the Boxers you mentioned TS, generally I like respectful Boxers like Pacquiao, Vitali, Wladimir and Ward.

Enough said:boxing: Not even close to being enough said. All that video does is cherry pick a couple of examples of ethnicity in a crowd, and of a few fighters. The examples given for "throwing a proper punch" are terrible as well, save for maybe GSP's jab. The rest, are wild swinging punches against people who don't know how to defend properly. Take a look at the gif posted from the guy above me of Tyson slipping and dodging, then countering with a perfect left hook. That's the difference between boxing and MMA. GSP and Silva are the only ones in the sport who have that kind of ability. If you can't see the difference in talent, then you don't really know either sport.

lol awesome post TS, green k on the way. I agree, boxing needs a complete badass right now. Reason why weigh ins are becoming so anti-climatic, we all know the most that might happen is a little pushing here and there.

I can't wait for these hardcore boxers. Before the tale of the tape, the commentators could describe just how bad they are: "Well, Jim, he never pays child support, told a security guard at the cinema to kiss his butt, and ran over a bird without going back to see if it was alright." "Yeah, but Larry, his opponent flicks cigarette butts out the car window in fire season, cuts pictures he likes out of library books, and pushed a lifeguard in the pool at the community swimming centre. He even runs over the orange cones at road-work sites."

lol tbh her belly dont bother me at all, but i think its the angle or something bro. in other pics it looks flat as hell. Is she a **** chick or video hoe? What;s her name Maybe she drinks beer? But man that looks like she might have had some HGH injections or something the extended belly like that is basically the insides growing and not fat. HGH is pretty popular anti aging drug, women get injected with the stuff in low doses just like they do with botox.

Who cares what fighters look like and act like outside the ring? This has to be one of the stupidest threads I've ever read. Oscar De La Hoya and Ray Leonard were always smiling too. Did they hurt boxing? SMH The guy in my sig was always polite and soft spoken in his prime and had a squeaky voice. I bet you didn't find him intimidating at all...

Ya cause if everybody in boxing, shaved their head, and got some tribal half sleeve tattoos, boxing would be more popular :/ MMA attracts a different crowd. Usually the beer drinking, wanna be tough white guys, who think there are only 4 effective martial arts out there. Boxing attracts a more refined, and educated individual. Boxing fans know the sport, they love it, they grew up on it. Because of that, it's a lot harder to get into. The skill level of fighters is significantly higher in a boxing match, then in an MMA match. As a result, you don't usually see the spectacular KO's in boxing like you do in MMA, because the openings just aren't there for it to happen. This thread is ridiculous...and I responded to it :s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yThVrdR7dW8 Enough said:boxing:

I don't care what fighters look like. If they talk a lot of sh*t, I’m normally a fan. I.E. Prince Nazz didn't look mean and was a little dude but he could talk sh*t! Huge fan! Looks don't mean anything if your attitude backs it up.

not really, Tyson had the bum of the month club and cherry picked so many fights and fought cans and people didn't care, people just want to see scraps and animosity they want that aspect of a fight they want to get hyped up. MMA people rarely care about the match making, they pay for any UFC fight as long as its action packed it could be a scrub who trained jiu jitsu for 1 year versus their best guy they will watch it because it will most likely be action packed with a ko or submission and both guys will not be giggling like school boys, the only friendly MMA star I know is GSP, the rest don't play games man, Boxing needs to man up, these boys need to grow up and become men not mama boys. The worst thing is they showed Golovkin talking to his mama on the phone! wtf man why did HBO do this? The guy was getting scolded by his mom and it made him look extra soft and non intimidating. That part was ridiculously funny! really HBO? A fighter callin their moms? Boxing is missing characters, but I like authenticity too. I love a good trash-talker, but if that's not a part of your personality or if you don't feel comfortable acting in that manner, then don't do it.
