If you never fought!!!

[Kris Silver]

If you haven't played Tennis how can you criticise a performance?
If you haven't cooked how can you criticise a restaurants food?
If you haven't run a country, how can you criticise the leader?

You get it. Your a moron.

Have you ever even sparred?

Have you ever even sparred?

Yes I have. As everyone left there were tickets which read "you may now talk about boxing". Very good of them.

I then went to the supermarket to get some energy drinks, the shop was a mess and cash girl rude. But who am I to criticise, I've not worked in a shop right.


Didn't England play **** not to get into Euro 2008. Whoops, forgot, I've not played football. Take that back.

With respect.
I know you do not talk **** about fighters.
Surely you understand what my point is?
Sometimes it becomes a bit annoying reading crapola from kids who's toughest challenge is remembering their mommas packed lunch before missing the school bus and their education.

Criticism is all well and good but don't forget that even a no-mark like Charlie Z has done more in the sport of boxing than most of his critics. I can criticise a world champion's performance on the basis of what is expected of a world champion. That's not to say I could do any better than the champion in question of course, but that's not the basis with which I criticise.

I would shy away from terms such as "bum" just because a 20-15 journeyman could destroy me in the ring and has 20 wins. I am 1-1 as an amateur, I know what it's like to be in the ring. But I'm really not in a position to denigrate a steady professional.

Zelenoff doesn't count as a real professional but he stepped up and did it. Even though he pussied out in the ring at least it was in the ring.

Fair response. You see mine though right. I can understand repeated seriously ignorant un constructive criticism, that doesn't make sense, being annoying.

But the, you must have done it to be able to criticise just doesn't really cut it really. Humans judge things daily, they don't necessarily have to have done them to be able to judge.

At the top level of anything, in the public eye, your open to criticism, some constructive, some not. How it goes. Most are constructive hence it's a kinda democracy really, don't let a minority totally shade your view, or tell everyone they need to box in order to criticise any boxer, that's out of context. All I'm saying.

The fight was in Arkansas... Where anyone can get licensed.

Yes but most people on this have never even had legit sparring.

Of course:

"Gatti is a ****ing BUM! He got beat like 9 times!"

Yeah he was also a two weight world titleholder with 40 wins including 31 stoppages as a professional following a long and successful amateur career.

"Hatton is a ****ing BUM! He got KTFOd by Mayweather!"

Yeah, he's a two weight world titleholder stepping up in weight to face the best fighter on the planet after ratcheting up 43 wins including 31 stoppages following a long and successful amateur career.

"Calzaghe is a ****ing BUM! He looked bad against Bernard Hopkins and can't punch for ****!"

Yeah he's a two weight world champion stepping up in weight to face the man at the division and a recognised pound for pounder, he's still undefeated as a proffesional, has a plus 70% KO ratio following a long and successful career as an amateur...

I think that's the general point that brother Moofo is making.

[squealpiggy]

And I spelled the word "professional" incorrectly. I blame the wine.
