Do you think the rules should be changed so that fighters can talk to each other ?

I think it was Golota who was talking Tyson ear off in ring atleast he didn't bite his ear off

I think it gets them fired up and ups the action in the fight, it also gets the fans into it. However I imagine fighters taking to the next level if they get too angry with what their opponent said and then it turns into a dirty wrestling match with kicking, rabid punches and low blows and all of that. The refs would have their hands full.

I'm OK with it as long as it doesn't get stupid - after all these guys are already communicating in about the most primitive and fundamental way humans can (outside of actually f#kking each other). Anyway, boxers communicate all the time with expression and gesture - a few words are OK for me so long as it doesn't interfere with the fight, although I would add the caveat that the fighters should have the right to object to the ref if they feel it innappropriate or unfairly effecting their performance.

No. It's a good rule. Some boxers talk way to much for weeks before the fight. When the bell for round one rings the time for talking is over and it's time for fighting. It's not a strictly enforced rule anyway. Fighters often do talk to each other during the fight and in the many years I've watched pro boxing I can't remember even one time a fighter was docked a point for talking. Mosley talked to Mayweather during their fight and Mayweather put a fist in Mosley's mouth every time Mosley started talking. Soon Mosley stopped talking.

They're not allowed to talking a fight

Why not? It's all entertainment at the end of the day. We should also tape them with mics and cameras on their head for fighter-cam. Brilliant stuff. I love it. Mics on their trunks or forehead if possible.

They talk enough sh1t before and after a fight.

Some is OK, too much and it will open the door for fixed fights - pro wrestlers talk to each other the entire match.

I always thought it was left to the refs discretion.:dunno:

Fighters talk now. I didn't realize there was a rule against it.

Let them talk... It's a fight Let's not act like boxing is a real sport with rules and integrity..

Leave it up to the ref like they basically do now.Some guys allow it some dont. I myself like it, but I can see why some don't.

if mayweather hadn't popped mosley when he did that conversation probabley would have carried onto another 5 rounds
