See, the thread is more interesting with conflict. In the internet, it's safe and fun to antagonize people. It's not ok to harass. I wouldn't antagonize strangers in real life but here I can say a lot of ****** stuff and get away with it.
Bias could be good also. Sport has been a battlefield for equality, especially in boxing. Just seeing Jack Johnson, Floyd Patterson, and Ali as champions lifted an entire community of people. Just seeing barriers broken is a measurement of how we can came along in society. Even though they lived blow for blow with their favorite fighters, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't fault the older African Americans for being baised and have their favorite fighters represent their struggle for equality.
I know what you mean about the mentality of today's fighters. Back in the day, fighters fought hard in each round.
1. exactly...
2. as long as he's not a judge.
i would like for boxers to get back to that, but they are much more interested in "fast and eazy" like the rest of america
good thread, i agree that the fighter that lands more should be the winner as long as he leads in more total and power punches. if the fighter leads in only jabs, that means the fighter wasnt working enough and wasnt tryin to win the fight but trying to survive.
This is what I was trying to get out, it all depends on the situation. Excellent post!
