Health comes 1st you are damn right it does you a fool if it dont

Mayweather cultists don't care about steroids anymore, that's old news. The next great crusade is to rid boxing of all gloves not deemed appropriate or suitable for combat by Master Floyd himself. http://www.husky-owners.com/forum/uploads/monthly_03_2014/post-6001-0-28986000-1395519968.gif

THIS IS BOXING. WHY TAKE UP ON THE SPORT WITH THAT MINDSET? retire move on let the real man fight. And when the hell has anyone felt guilty or pressured for seeing someone hurt, its all part of the sport. Boxers make good money its up to them to figure out what to do for when they retire. If you dont want to get hit or take punishment get out of boxing...... thank you! :bowdown:

Hey larry, why keep asking how many of us have boxed like it matters when determining if one's a ***** or not... Holmes, duran, leonard ,etc, and lately robert garcia all boxed and they think floyd is a puzzy so take it for all its worth

Lol, He reuined Ortiz's career. That credit goes to Maidana. Ortiz, much like Algieri with Manny or Ghost with Floyd, had no business getting that payday or fame.

It's hard to relate directly to those who only experience boxing from viewing a television set or by sitting in the nose bleed seats at which ever fights. Plain and simple, they just don't know any better. "thousands of fighters have died or suffered injuries because of negligence, cheaters, and PEDs" ***(I do question this though)***:boxing: as an amateur fighter it's health first for me. :lol1: no lie. Hit and don't be hit, and I am good at it. One thing I will never do is make excuses though, part of the game or not, if I was at the elite level, my opponent can wear whatever he wants, if I show that I care, I show that I am weak.

Boxers should be the only ones allows to say this health comes first ****. Boxers and promoters and everyone else in the are looking out for themselves and there's nothing wrong with that. Then as a fan there should be nothing wrong with me wanting Corrales Castillo type fights or fights not ending in Sucker punches.

Floyd can't wear punchers gloves due to his brittle hands or else he would be the first one wearing them. So please take one of these! :bottle: Dirty tactics: Floyd said that his dirty tactics are OK but not Maidana's. Take another one of these! :bottle:

Another ignorant fan. So fighters that get old and need testosterone can use it to fight since he is at the end of his career and needs help? Many black people here defend Floyd to the death, you are true ride or die fans but in the end you're just groupies worshipping one person. I can't argue with fake boxing fans. I bet you all were Heat fans too and now switched lol Ignorant fan how ...? I'm a fan of the sport and have been in it since I could walk .. what have you done around boxing aside from type and contribute to these forums..? .. I'm a retired pro fighter You are the ignorant fan ... type away ..:bottle: sorry ill give you the respect of the gloves cause you put them on a COUPLE of times in your life.. but it clearly wasn't much so for you to make any reference to that backyard fighting and act like you know is a little outlandish

I took a few swimming lessons ... doesn't mean I know **** about swimming lol... where do these people come from...? Another ignorant fan. So fighters that get old and need testosterone can use it to fight since he is at the end of his career and needs help?

well then fvck you. a fighter needs to look out for them self i did not force my son to do sh1t..it is what he loves..it is what i love..it is in our blood..but no way in hell are we dumb enough to risk our life to make sure you have a great night..it is called SELF DEFENSE..HIT AND NOT GET HIT!!!! no way would i train my son to be an idiot..but people like you who have never owned a pair of gloves or a heavy bag let alone actually went to a gym and fought would have no idea what this means.. Larry, horse hair gloves are probably healthier for a fighter to get hit with over foam gloves. I would rather get knocked out clean and stopped, than to get hit repeatedly and dizzy for all 12 rounds. Sometimes what appears to be safer, isn't. Bringing back bare knuckle fighting would probably be the safest rule to bring back to the sport, but that will never happen.

only a fool would put his health first and then box for a living. floyd is only saying those things to cover up his bittch demands and his fanboys are eating up everything he says...disgusting fanbase:ugh: This is the truth ^

Health should come first. You can tell that most people that call fighters cowards, wish for their death in the ring and other disgusting bs most likely have need been in the ring and probably never had a 1 on 1 physical altercation in their life. In real life their the real cowards. Especially when you fight at the elite professional level The fighters fists are basically weapons. Other sports you risk your knees, arms, ankles ect. Boxers put their brain at risk primarily , I read This book " We are our brains " and the info In there is crazy how the brains of boxers is effected by the sport. Something like 80% suffer premature early brain damage, 17% develop early full blown dementia the stats are insane. There's lots of boxers I don't like but you need to give them their props and give them credit for what their risking every time they step in the ring.

Imagine duran hagler leonard hearns doing this. Hahahaha theyd all be laughing at floyd

Did sucker punching a defenseless man apply to this rule or only for Floyd? Lol, He reuined Ortiz's career.

Couldn't agree more.. I've been in the ring a lot and its one thing to sit and type about how he's a diva this and that but fact is he is 37 and if he decides that as the A side he wants to protect the last bit of his career so he can enjoy the rest of his life problem free (didn't make these demands as a young fighter) then so be it ... I would do the same .... he has a family and ice after entertaining us still Touching story bro....But truth is that if he's worried about getting punched in the face then retire from BOXING. He doesn't need to money so why even risk it.

Health and family tied for 1st in my life. Immediate family

You dont play boxing You fight If I was a pro fighter I would do everything to make sure that I compete on fair playing field. Random drug testing before and after the fight, me and my opponent wear the same gloves, commission checking hand wraps thoroughly before the fight thousands of fighters have died or suffered injuries because of negligence, cheaters, and PED Some people say "health comes first" like its an insult....if it was you in the ring it would Did sucker punching a defenseless man apply to this rule or only for Floyd?

I did a few amateur fights and I fought with whatever regulation was in place. I knew the risk, and what it took to get in there. I learned about the hard work, preparation, and sacrifices it takes and this was just amateur so I never pursued it as a career. For a professional boxer who claims to be TBE but all of a sudden was to change boxing by not allowing gloves that have been in place for years because of his health is fkn ridiculous. He's a defensive fighter he should not be getting hit with them anyway. If he wants to protect himself he needs to fight exhibitions with headgear or retire. Every boxer know the risks when he steps in that ring . You Floyd dk riders are the worst I took a few swimming lessons ... doesn't mean I know **** about swimming lol... where do these people come from...?
