..Win Like A COWARD, Or Lose Like A Man?........

[Sin City]

Explain how you would "win like a *****"?

See Mayweather v. Baldomir...

If you run like you say, you're not gonna win a fight. I watched Zelenoff-Hartley, but I don't get what you're saying. Both fighters in the Zelenoff-H fight were kinda brawling it out with no technique, no real runners there.

Let's put it this way. If that Zeneloff *******, had continued to fight the way he was and back pedalled his way threw the fight and because he landed a shot here and there and the judges gave it to him. He's winning like a *****. He really didn't brawl at all to me. He was doing some INCREDIBLE back pedalling.

I'm all for movers. Malignaggi, Guzman, Mayweather. I enjoy watching them. But there's a way to move and then there's a way of avoiding an actual fight. And you can win that way, but you don't win in the bravest of ways.

Once again, for the 20th time, let me restate, I used the EXACT terms 'man and coward' as attention grabbers. Because 'win in an easier fashion or lose knowing you gave it your all' don't evoke the same emotions as the title you see here.

What would you rather do?

True, no one is a coward if they step in the ring. But, it's more for dramatic effect and lack of a better term.

Would you rather win like a coward, or lose like a man?

To make it an even tougher question, imagine that this is gonna be (whether you know it or not) the biggest fight of your entire career.

Vote. Discuss.

you earn more fans taking your loss like a man than playing it safe and running to victory.

I get the impression this thread has some angle or is a dig at someone in particular.

I voted win, you win any way possible IMO.

I hate to lose at anything even if i have done well trying.

Nope. Not a dig at anyone. I was listening to a rap song, and the lyrics came up as 'I'd rather die like a man, then live like a coward' so I converted the song to a question about boxing, with the fight being life, obviously. I just thought it would be an interesting conversation peice.

[The Gambler1981]

How does it make you more of a man to lose, if you can fight a different way and win. Is SRL a ***** for not standing against Haggler? You put the argument this way and this is how it is talked about on the forum so I think you worded it fine.

Also please clear up one thing for me are we talking about a single fight were you migiht just want to escape with a W and move on. Or what you base your whole career on, because if you base your whole career on a non crowd pleasing style your really not going to have a good careeer unless your among the best in the sport and even then it will take you years longer to get recognition.

It's called being smart buddy. If I know that I can't knock the guy out, I'm not gonna be ****** and just go and brawl with him.

[totalstranga]

LOL. with his chin, McCall could have conceivably run around with his hands down, crying for 12 rds against Lewis. But he couldnt have gone out on his shield either because he can take a shot. Oh Oliver..he lost like a coward. Or more than likely a man with serious mental and drug issues.

OK, If Zelenoff finished the fight, the judges would not have gave him the fight! You're just assuming that. Boxing is about BOXING man, if the fighter RUNS like you say, he is not going to win.
