You say fighters don't have pride and egos and are all strategic? I'd say the fighters who carefully pick and choose who they fight, fit in your category of strategic. And Leonard was picking and choosing around Pryor. Leonard was very strategic. Some guys don't give a damn who they fight, and some want u as soon as you call them out. Pryor called Leonard out but Leonard didn't answer that call. Pryor should've slapped him when he crashed his press conference. Then we probably would've seen that fight happen

I didnt say that, they are competitive everybody has pride and ego, but in the professional arena your brain overrides that, they not spiteful over to them its no big deal things like that happen a lot because sparing is so off the chain which means one guy is hot the other can be cold, different stages of conditioning its just a day in training my point is they don't think in a spiteful way about other competitors, its all a day in the office to them.

I don't mean they're spiteful. They have pride. For example, imagine if you sparred a boxer. What if you sparred, let's say, Yusef Mack, and he touched you up, hit u with low blows, and came out on top, you not gonna wanna get back? (pause)

Yes but pride isn't being disrespected, and it depends on the circumstances say Ray felt a bit off that morning he might think that's what you get for being off, as I said they are very professional at that level, more so than fans give them credit for, most fans its machoism which is not as much about ego as it is about insecurity, its like gameness and aggression is not linked, aggression comes from insecurity, you are right for some guys, but with Ray at that point he was pretty matured as a fighter I doubt he would be to worried about a sparing session, I just think what people call ducks and (any name) is scared is not how it is.

Lots of great fighters feel fear. We all do. Do you think the.great.Rid**** Bowe ducked Lennox Lewis? Why did he throw his belt in the trash rather than fight him? Ducking is a real thing.
