what is wrong with calling certain fighters cowards??

[ANDROID_DOES]

No one who steps into the boxing ring is a coward.

Also, to call Floyd a coward, who has faced 12 world champions in his career, and held belts 24 pounds above his original weight class, is just ludicrius and ignorant.

amen!!!!! Viva, comonmang, and exectutioner just bearly started watching boxing so they don't really understand what everything really means just yet. But hey it's fun making them look like morons!

Agreed 100%. I hate the way the term "coward" is thrown around on this site.

To top it off its the people that are calling pro fighters cowards have never stepped their ***** ass in the ring (sorry for the harsh words). Now thats the **** that gets me... A keyboard warrior has some BOLD nerves to call a PRO fighter a coward...How can you do that is beyond me!

Its really sad if you ask me!

It has been said many times, but if you are willing to step into the ring you are absolutely not a coward.

[Easy-E]

The whole premise of this thread is hilarious.

"Why is it wrong for me, who has never stepped into the ring, to call professional fighers consistantly putting their health and careers at risk in the ring, cowards on an internet message board?"

I mean come on Viva, are you ****ing serious??

hey if someone is afraid to get in the ring with the best he is a coward. its plain and basic common sense. i dont know why people get upset when you call these men what they really are. if they get in the ring and just run away they are cowards. the true warriors are the ones willing to fight anyone at any time and they come forward looking for the knockout.

one man who has earned his true warrior status this week is abraham. after taking the worst beating of his life from miranda he is giving him a rematch and fighting in mirandas territory. that is what true warriors due.

and one man who has earned his legacy as a coward is calzage for ducking pavlik to fight an old washed up roy jones and of course it will be in wales his hometown.

You know nothing.

A boxer calling another fighter coward means nothing. A fan calling a fighter a coward is comical. Go to your local gym and speak with boxers. I bet you come away with a different perspective on boxers. It's like if you are a teacher, banker, business man calling your opponent/adversary a coward, and they are thinking the same thing about you. It just doesn't make sense. You legally have the right to open your mouth, but what point are you making. They have reached the pinnacle of their sport/profession. And a sidelione/armchair dude is calling them a coward. It's just comical that's all. Fanatics do that, not true fans.

why is that?

'cause they get in the ring?

there's a lot more things i'm more scared of than getting in the ring.

teenage kids do it all the time in the amateurs and not get paid millions of dollars. ****. i was throwing 10 ouncers around on pavement just for fun when i was a kid. somebody give me the congressional medal of honor.

this talk of warrior/coward stuff is overrated when it comes to boxing and sports in general.

it's just a sport.

We are talking about fans calling any pro athlete a coward for any reason. What if someone called you a coward for being in the military left?

LOL, I don't think VIVA is going to show up in this thread again Dude got owned left, right and centre.
