Did you ever read the Sugar Ray Robinson Biography????

I did and SRL never liked boxing but chose it because he needed the Paycheck. He also had to fight every other week because the money they received was not much.

He said he hated boxing. That's when the sport supposebly was at his best but the fighters didn't benefit from it as much as the greedy promoters.

Pretty incredible that he was so good at something he didn't like.
Those guys fought a ton so it had to be a ton of punches even the best fighters couldn't avoid in the course of that kind of grueling schedule.

and who is the fighter that calzaghe fought the has was scared of? do you really buy that ****. No one at the world class level is scared of anyone. they wouldnt have made it that far if being scared was a factor.

It was the guy who put him on his ass last week, and yes I believe it. Boxers are human and fear is an emotion that all humans experience.

What Is Fear?

Fear is "an unpleasant and often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger."[1] Fear is completely natural and helps people to recognize and respond to dangerous situations and threats.

It's not the fighters job to kiss his opponents ass to get more credit/approval from the fans. A fighter can disrespect his opponent and call him a bum if he wants to, but if we view that "bum" as a guy who is Top 10 P4P, solid skills etc, then it doesn't matter.

It's how the opponent is perceived to be that matters not what the fighter thinks of that opponent.

No don't get me wrong I'm saying to HORUS that if he wants his fighter to receive as much credit as possible he shouldn't say he's a bum, I don't think Mayweather should kiss Cotto's ass, I think he should disrespect him a la Hopkins that'll be more fun for me.

[Gonzalez_Boxing]

Yeah **** all those stipulations and such. Cotto isn't big this or that who gives a ****. However, because of said reason he has to wait a bit longer. There are BIGGER (not better but bigger) fights out there that Floyd will take first. Then Cotto to end his career.

Good post. I agree.

Fair enough but tell that to Archie Moore Sugar Ray Robinson Maxie Rosenblook and a ton of other guys that treated boxing as their profession.
It's the hardest sport I know but they chose it.

Yeah they chose it, but does that mean that have to fight more than 2 times a year. No, their are no obligations in boxing. The beating they take and injuries they sustain in fights is almost as much as an 82 NBA season and a full 16 game NFL schedule.

So if your saying that, why are NFL teams only playing 16 weeks in a 52 week year? Or 19 games at the most. Why do NBA teams only play 4 or 5 months a year? With your logic, you are saying its a full time job to be an athlete, so go do more. No everon needs rest to come back from injuries. So dont jump on boxers for fighting 2 times a year and not jump on football or basketball.

no way jose

Here's the same guy who thought Oscar beat Floyd, yet criticizes the rematch.

I'm loving it.

Now, either embrace the rematch, or admit that Floyd won handedly. Which is it going to be?

Um, just because I think Oscar beat Floyd doesnt mean I automatically think there should be a rematch. Oscar IMO got LUCKY to beat Floyd, he wont win a rematch. That, combined with a lack of popular support for the closeness of that fight and the rise of cotto, leads me to conclude that there should be no rematch. Plain and basic common sense. Chew on that for a while.

Also, look at the Jimmy Kimmel interview. Floyd trained 18 weeks for the Hatton fight, and another i think 14 weeks for DLH. So that is 32 week in a year, that is over half of a year. Compared to 19 weeks in football.

To keep your title, don't you think there should be some obligations?
Some guys fight once a month. Some once a year.
Some of the old school guys fought 20 times a year.

I am not asking them to do more alll the time, but I think 3 times a year minimum is reasonable.
