    Boxing's emotional middle aged men

    No sport, surely, has more emotional middle aged men involved with it than boxing. It seems like not a single promotion goes by these days without some middle aged man who's part of a fighter's entourage having a meltdown and shouting or offering someone out.

    Here are a list of men who are part of boxing's landscape who need to explore therapy, healing journeys and meditation techniques so they stop making fools of themselves in public.
    • John Fury. Look dude, you were a terrible boxer and your main claim to fame is gouging someone's eye out which is why you couldn't attend your son's fights in the US. It's time to grow up.
    • Henry Garcia. Your adrenaline was up and you seemed kind of scared of Hearn so went on the attack before humbling yourself when you realised you'd made an ass of yourself. Growing up around this will be the cause of most of Ryan's problems, it's time to change.
    • Bill Haney. Clearly guiding your son to an undisputed championship was a great achievement. But if money remains so important to you that you're prepared to issue death threats in public it's time to reevaluate.
    • Leonard Ellerbe. Wasn't this guy Floyd Mayweather's valet? His main achievement since TBE's retirement seems to be a series of emotional outbursts on Twitter about Eddie Hearn.
    • Frank Warren. Okay really more of an OAP and admittedly he does seem relatively content at the moment, but one always get the impression boiling oceans of fury are never far from the surface. He should use this period of relative calm to prepare for a content retirement when the Saudi money dries up.
    • Egis Klimas. Handled the disappointment of Fury's cut with all the composure of a toddler. As much as I dislike Tyson Fury, his wife (and 3rd cousin) are out of bounds, Klimas should not have described her as a "*****".

      Wasn't Danny Garcia's father also a bit of a ****?

          Solid insults lmfao.

          Please do Teo Sr & Angel Garcia. Angel might be past middle age but he fits right in with the vibe.

            It's actually not only people directly or indirectly involved in the sport or the business side of it. You see it here right in this very forum. You see 60 yr old posters still making threads hating on some fighter/s. One even change his mode of writing making it appear he is still twelve so he can be tolerated. Whether you see it bad or good, some call it passion.

                Not necessarily a bad thing. People have to have passion as long as it's harmless on others. You're a vegetable if you don't have passion.
