Biggest Myth In Boxing?

[TheGR8TESTOAT]

Good question…

I would say that anytime a fan calls a boxer a coward they are perpetuating the biggest myth in all of sports. A boxer can be a lot of things, but anyone who steps into that ring and puts everything on the line is anything but a coward, not matter what the outcome of the fight is.

green karma! thats REAL TALK!

The myth you have to be popular in order to be a draw.....THAT is a MYTH..., and FACTS just dont support it...

Malignaggi's Starpower is a HUGE myth. The guy couldn't hurt a fly and dances around the ring for 12 rounds. This is boxing. If people wanted to pay to see someone dance around for 45 mins they would have bought ballet tickets. The guy is a joke.

But he does have the best hair in boxing. hands down.

Just what it says there.. ^

i'd have to say malignaggi's star power is the biggest one...

he's not (and probably will never be) a big star.

i think he has the right charisma and attitude to be a big star; along with being a hell of a boxer...but the KO power isnt there...

i think he could have been a big star with some KO power...

Hmmm all those choices are good and valid I guess it would be (for me) hopkins greatness.

You dont really Believe that do you?

I voted Hopkins. The man is only called a legend because he says it.

[Derranged]

The myth that Calzaghe has no power.

And of course, the myth that Margarito is the most feared welterweight on the planet.

Well thats considered to be more of a JOKE nowadays, only a few morons believe that ****. I voted for it anyway.

[Addition]

Mayweather can be defeated myth

I don't agree. In my opinion, any fighter can be beaten no matter how good they are.

The legend of Bernard Hopkins.

Not really.

Beating Calzaghe at 44 would be truly sensational though. But right now, now way he goes down as a legend.
