Why does everyone thank god for their victories?

[Joe2608]

I was just pointing out that it's weird how it happens so much in boxing.

[Coyotefury]

u mean the cross sign??

yes sir that

[Undefeated]

I would be one of the very select few fighters that will not do the cross.

Ever.

I don't believe in that ****.

Everything i've done and everything everyone else has done is because of them. Not because of a god.

Lol... That god **** makes me laugh.

HAW HAW!

Also it only happens when they win. Surely if you want god watching over you to make sure nothing bad happens to you in the ring you should thank them whether you win or lose.

i don't know if you guys noticed but at the start of every round cotto and margarito would, se persinaban... don't really know how to say it in english.

Yeah I saw both of them making the sign of the cross before the beginning of each round. Pac does the same thing.

It also bothers me sometimes too because I don't feel god had anything to do with the fight. Plus the fighters are kind of discrediting themselves because they were the ones that fought, they were the ones that had to deal with the punishment, and they were the ones that had to work hard and train to be prepared to fight. Boxing is a good example of what the human mind and body can accomplish. Take Margarito for example the guy was hit with shots that would have floored anybody else, but he was uneffected and most guys would be tired from fighting the way he fights, but even at the end of the fight he looked like he could go on for another ten rounds. It's really amazing what humans can do sometimes.

its force of habbit, after the fight they grab some groupies and run some orgies.

Am very religious and can relate to why they all thank God at the end of the fight, People get injured in the sport of boxing and this is a free world where people are allow to express themselves in which ever way they want to.

Moreover whats so bad in them thanking God when they thank their parents,Wives,girlfriend,trainers etc
