STFU With That "Scared" Bull**** Please

[Gonzalez_Boxing]

Ignorant. Styles make fights. Stewart was slow, and was no match for the faster tyson. You are one ignorant mofo lol. You can't wait for a thread with Floyd's name attached you can go into your special ed repetitive "Floyd is scared of prime welters, hence his retirement" lol. Ignorant. He climbs weight classes, and all of a sudden is scared of welters. You are the true coward. You defend this lie like all liars defend against the truth lol.

It doesn't make a difference what kind of style he had, if he feared Tyson, it's still fear isn't it?

People take the avoidance of unnecessary risk as fear.... these people are ******


I merely brought up one situation in regards to what is necessary.

Now you have a chance to answer back.

Is it necessary for a newly crowned champion to defend his belt against the best in the division?

Why are you using the word necessary? I don't know why anyone argues with you. You say the same old crap every damn time I see you post. Nothing changes. Floyd didn't fight who you wanted him to fight. You can cry and call him a coward until you die. Can't you even talk about any other boxer. There are over 5000 boxers, a top 10 pfp, contenders....lol. All you do is, Floyd is scared of prime welters, hence his retirement.....All you do is, Floyd is scared of prime welters, hence his retirement...All you do is, Floyd is scared of prime welters, hence his retirement...All you do is, Floyd is scared of prime welters, hence his retirement...All you do is, Floyd is scared of prime welters, hence his retirement...lol

All fighters feel fear. It isn't the scared fear that arm chair fans think. They fear losing, not how they lose. They know they can lose, and lose their life going in. The elite cherish this moment. They have the least fear.

That question proves nothing. There's always somebody for a fighter to fight. Would it be rewarding to a fan to see him fight the best fights? Yes.

However, do I think of him as a coward or afraid for taking 'easier' fights? No.

There's a huge gap between hoping to avoid a possible loss and genuine fear. If you think they're synonymous then there's no hope for you.

I put fear into Psycho when he posts. He leaves every time I come into a thread he is repeating himself. lol

Fighters at the professional level do not fear anyone. It's there job to fight and beat whoever they are put in the ring with. Fighters don't go professional to test the waters they go professional because they are confident in there ability to beat the man standing opposite of them. You guys need to cut it out with Mayweather fears Cotto or Fighter A is scared of Fighter B jive. It's a bit ridiculous and makes you all look like you know nothing about the sport. I've pretty much decided to ignore anyone I catch spewing such ridiculous nonsense about men who put there entire lives into a sport that usually only leaves fighters broken and in poor health come long term. Knowingly getting into a ring with someone you know wants to tear your head off requires balls not found on an internet forum full of wannabe critics and over night know it alls. I would go out on a limb and say 80% of you don't even own a pair of gloves. Calm down with the "scared" **** guys. You all sound ******.

Credit due to ME123 and ben41103 for inspiring this.

I do agree with some of your points. Unless you are that fighter, how can you in fact say that one person is scared of another.

What I disagree with is fighters at a professional level do not fear anyone. I've quoted Calzaghe's view on fear a few times. In Teddy Atlas' book he talks a lot about fear and how boxers need to control it and use it to their advantage. I just started reading In The Corner: Great Boxing Trainers Talk About Their Art, and it also gives you some insight as to how certain fighters are in the ring. I'm waiting to receive my copy of Facing Ali: 15 Fighters / 15 Stories, I'll let you know if there are any reference to any of his opponents fearing him.

answer the question please.

It was a simple question with a simple answer. If you choose not to answer, then we can dead this right now and I'll know where you stand.

Yes, losing is a fear that most boxers probably feel the most, along with losing their life. I'm not ready to agree that the elite have the least fear, they have just as many things to fear than any other boxer. I'm sure they fear dying, getting injured, ko'd, losing, etc. I'm going to go with Teddy Atlas and say the have more control over fear.

Have you ever talked to a boxer? Teddy Atlas can't tell you whether a fighters feels fear or not. Talk to a boxer. If they don't explain it to you the way I did, I'll give you all the money in my NSB bank. Roberto Duran said he never feared any fighter in his life. Ali said he never feared any fighter in his life.

Apparently you forgot how this started:

You're saying a champion defending his belt against his top challengers is unnecessary?

I never said that, thus your question and subsequent argument around it are based upon a fallacy.

I'm looking out for your best interest, as you don't want to make some ****** or long winded post that I have no interest in because you completely misunderstand a post I made.
