Mayweather-Hatton Conference Thread

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Hatton was in fear for his life. He got the burger king crown snatched and stole from him and then didn't say **** when floyd was yoking his ass. But beforehand had the nerve to talk **** in some crappy ass video, but can't say it in Floyd's face and freezes when Floyd pulls his card. Vicky Hatton is a coward!

This point is valid.

Don't talk trash when the guy is far away from you or when you are in manchester filming a video. Then when the guy is in front of you, you act like you are a chewing a piece of the world's most delicious gum.

If you have the balls to say something behind somebody's back, then say it face-to-face. say it ' TO him. Or not at all.

The Americans are very direct like that. The British have always been a tad cowardly in that manner.

We see that you obviously don't even posses the rudimentary knowledge to even address "amateur psychology", since reading an overt action as opposed to interpreting an action in its relationship to neural processes, are two different things. I commented on non-verbal communication, not the underlying effects or mechanism of it. Please understand the distinction and conversely, I suggest YOU look it up...

Interesting attempt at disguising the flaw in your argument via an overly complicated vernacular for no particular reason. Again, I will state this simply...the study of body language falls well within the bounds of psychology. More specifically the study of paralanguage, which is a fairly well established strange of social psychology. Particularly as you are deeming Hatton's nerves to be 'involuntary'.

Now, you can try to dilute this correct assertation by splitting morpho-syntactic hairs. But the point behind the words remain perfectly acceptable. Those being that you were trying to crow-bar your own psychological views via the analysis of body language that were in no way decisive and in fact were dreadfully slanted in an attempt to try and make that body-language mean what you wanted it to mean. Particularly when you neglect to comment on alternative 'demonstration of body-language tells' that make Mayweather appear nervous and Hatton the more confident of the two. Presumably because this doesnt suit your purposes.

lamo,

Not really. Lamo.

Judah is in a gang because he needs protection.
We all know he can't fight.

oh he just a professional boxer by accident huh?? lol dumbass.. of course he can fight

[StackMo]

I just finished watching the press conference on youtube with Floyd making an absolute fool of himself saying his usual bull**** like how he is gonna go toe to toe and that Hatton is a bum. Hatton played it out like the civilized, cool customer that he is and he is not in the least bit intimidated by Floyd Gayweather. Floyd is an absolute disgrace to black people, he represents every negative stereotype about black people and I can't see how any of you clowns on this board could nuthug him. Even his own family hates him. FLOYD IS OFFICIALLY THE BIGGEST TOOL ON THE PLANET.

Someone forgot to notify me that Mayweather is the new spokesperson for all black people.

I guess that makes Adolf Hitler the new spokesperson for all caucasians.

[Ironside]

Yea threads like this are made just to start ****. Mayweather is a great boxer in the ring. He's most likely not a bad person outside of the ring, which you people shouldn't really care about.

I had to chuckle at that.

Dios you're full of **** again; go and defend any Mayweather cause no matter how ridiculous. Those men aren't scared; it's a joke. ****ing christ!

[Ray Ray]

Floyd should try to model himself after classy,intelligent black fighters like Evander Holyfield,Bernard Hopkins and Lamon Brewster. Floyd is starting to make Mike Tyson look like a saint.

Please dont say nothing like that. Floyd might act like an ass at sometimes but comparing him to Mike Tyson is flat out bull****. Tyson has fallen off and he is a coke head.

Boy, if you don't try and read a piece of scientific literature someday and stop saving face..


You're definitely confused. You call body language a "sub-section" of psychology, and when I explain to you that it is instead a sub-set of communication theory (which in turn, has no "metatheory" and follows no one scientific paradigm), you cop-out with your unintelligible semantics. Given that it follows no specified paradigm, it isn't surprising the it is dealt with by social psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists alike. Just to entertain you, I actually looked it up, in order to expose this simplification of yours:

Quote:
Communication stands so deeply rooted in human behaviors and the structures of society that scholars have difficulty thinking of it while excluding social or behavioral events. Because communication theory remains a relatively young field of inquiry and integrates itself with other disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, and sociology, one probably cannot yet expect a consensus conceptualization of communication across disciplines.

Body language is by and large, a cultural phenomenon, studied by social scientists across disciplines and it is not a sub-section or monopoly of psychology. Now stop being deceitful since as stated from the very beginning, I wasn't concerned with the psychology of the target, but rather his expression in a social context, drawn from repeated results given that general framework, as I see it demonstrated within the culture that I'm a part of.

Floyd has never said to the media, QUOTE:

"I'm a *****, I'm a big strong ***** who knocks people out, ****s people, and rips peoples' **** off."

Tyson said this.

Anyone think there is a difference in the level of inappropriateness between what Tyson says and what Mayweather says?
