The Biggest Myths in Boxing

[Allucard]

Myth: If you stand up to a "bully" he will fold. Just pop him in the mouth and watch him go down...show no Fear. Well, tell that to Frazier, who wasn't scared of Foreman, who was called a "bully", who was actually scared of Joe. Result: The bully kicked the crap out of the man that protected bullied kids.

Myth: When a fighter shouts/yells/barks or whatever you want to call it, he is scared. Tell that to Ali, tell that to Floyd Jr.

That's not always true. I do agree both Ali and Floyd talk alot of nonesense before matches with the difference Ali kept talking **** after matches.. I think the real reason is selfmotivation. If you convince yourself you can't lose (not because you're invencible but because you carry the world on your shoulders kinda thing aka responsability) you will focus better and perform at your best.

ali said that himself, i read one of his biographies and ali was quoted saying if you say something long enough you'll start to believe it yourself.

Biggest myth in boxing?

I hear there is life outside of BoxingScene forums. I for one refuse to beleive these false claims and will spend the rest of eternity talking about boxing.

Thankyou.

Hamed lost all the rounds in that fight bar one. Therefore Hamed got schooled.

Na, he won at least 4.

I have friend who laughs when he hears people say how great a body puncher Mike McCallum was....I'm not sure what to think.

Biggest Myth in Boxing for me is that Marvin Hagler was robbed against Ray Leonard

the 1st time i saw the fight was at a freinds house & he said to me just watch this fight tell me who u think wins he put the fight on i watched it & i thought that Leonard won infact everytime i watch it Leonard wins even to this day if i give Hagler the benefit of the doubt i still have Leonard winning it

Marvin Hagler threw his dummy out the pram & everyone bought into it that he was robbed ,he was just bitter because he hated the fact he lost to Ray of all people
