24/7 episodes garnish new respect for Hatton

[judge_jab]

not trying to prove you wrong but what about Roy Jones Jr? He seemed like a real nice guy.

[Thread Stealer]

you guys have to understand that to get to the level that PBF is at, being a nice humble guy isnt enough, when you have dedicated youre whole life to a sport, when youre out there and everyone just seems like they cant matchup to you, if even on the biggest stages out there, you continue to dominate and win even when the stakes are against you, its hard not to be arrogant.

some of the best musicians and artists were like this also, miles davis was a complete prick, but he was a genius at what he did, and he didint bull**** you .

And dont ever say "well if i was in that position" because none of us are, until you truly dedicate yourself to something so much, and give youre life to it, and you are regarded worldwide as the BEST at what you do in youre field, none of us have any idea of what goes into that kind of feeling, and what it can do to youre mind, knowing youre the very best at what you do hands down.

guys like hatton are nice, and the sport needs that, but there will be other nice guys who come in face first, throwing punches in bunches. But truly dominant fighters who make it looks like 99 percent of the fighters they fight dont even belong in the same ring as them come only once in a generation and mayweather as much as an ******* as he is, is that man right now.

i wonder if that story from the movie collateral was true.

roy was arrogant, but generally known as a decent guy. i respect him as a person as i've heard many stories about him being generous and giving money to g-man's family, the nypd, etc....

that being said, u can't always tell how someone is behind closed doors.

I get your point and it's a valid one but in reality you missed mine. I don't care what a guy does in his private life, look at Holyfield. He had so many kids out of wed lock but he was always adored by the public because in the ring he was a class act.

You are right, having power or skill corrupts people. To the point where they treat others like ****, I get that, I've been there. I was a bully in school and always grew up fighting and there were very few guys that lagitamitly kicked my ass. Not to mention the fact I was young, had a nice car and was making lots of money. That's small time stuff compaired to what PBF is and I was acting like an *******..lol.

I was just trying to make the point of what he draws, how he is percieved. Ali's legacy stands on it's own, so does SRL and DLH but it just seems to me that PBF isn't as abig as a star as he should be.

His PR people have tried to put him in dancing with the stars and he himself makes it seems that he is the one that makes the big paydays but that's not the truth. His biggest payday was with DLH and that's why every boxer in the world within 3 weight classes of DLH begs to fight him even now at his age.

I just think PBF should be a household name and he isn't as much as people might think.

i wouldnt put it passed him especially if he was on dope.

Na man, guys like PBF will never be household names, defensive geniuses who dominate, but dont have vicious KO power and dont take some to give some tend not to be household names no matter how nice they are, but i understand youre point man its all good.

Jerry Rice was the best and dedicated his life to being the best on the football field.

Was he a ****?

So your point is void, Black Jesus. Floyd is the way he is because of the ebonics speaking idiot relatives he grew up with.

jerry rice was kind of a jerk with the media and at times with his teammates, actually.

it was detailed more in the espn sportscentury episode about him, but many nfl fans, especially in no. cal., had already heard the stories.
