The Right and Wrong Legacies in Boxing

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Troy Ondrizek - Early in life, our parents or whoever is raising us, installs what will eventually be our value system. They teach us what they perceive is the difference between right and wrong and what inherently become our core values and beliefs. It is from these vital developers of our soul that we derive what is truly important to us and even our prejudices. [details]

I don't see how DLH wanting to fight and beat Mayweather dilutes his legacy, especially if he beats Mayweather.

YOU CAN'T SEE HOW? LET ME TELL YOU HOW!!!!! DLH FIGHTS FOR MONEY, NOT FOR LEGACY, HE FIGHTS SMALLER FIGHTERS, OLD FIGHTERS, FIGHTERS WHO HAVE BEEN RECENTLY KO'D, MAKES FIGHTERS COME DOWN TO HIS WEIGHT, OR UP TO HIS WEIGHT!! FIGHTERS HE SHOULD BE BEATING WITH NO PROBLEM!!! INSTEAD HE STRUGGLES AGAINST NO BODIES, AND CONS NON-BOXING PEOPLE INTO PAYING $49.99 TO SEE HIM GET PUNKED, AND THEY STILL CHEER HIM ON!!!!!!! HE'S THE BIGGEST CIRCUS BOXING HAS EVER SEEN! BOXING LEGACY? (FIST & BALLS) NOT EVEN!!! DOLLAR SIGNS AND SMILES? ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK??? "ALL TIME GREAT"

Oh !!! And I Almost Forgot. Beating Mayweather? He Should Have Beat Him The First Time, Being He Out Wieghted Him By A Bunch. Just Like He Should Of Knock Forbes Into Next Week!!

Plenty of fighters and greats fought mainly for money, regardless of whether people (or they) want to admit it.

Luckily, some fighters like Ray Robinson and Larry Holmes for example, are honest enough to admit it.

Of course the money is a big factor but what's wrong with DLH wanting to fight and beat the best? Beating the pound for pound number 1 fighter in the sport would help his legacy immensely.

Who did he struggle against that were nobodies?

What about fishnets and pumps?

[Thread Stealer]

DLH does fight a lot of smaller guys moving up in weight.

He's fought some bigger guys though.
