an honest answer

[mines a pasty]

put downs and bitching to one side for a moment, i'd like to know something...

what is it about boxing that you love? how has it inspired you and which figures within the sport do you admire and why?

[-EAGLE-]

Boxing has something no other sport has;

To see 2 guys beating up eachother for 12 rounds with the goal to win; that's something crazy!

My dad loved boxing so he learned me some tricks; after some years i visited the local boxing gym and i loved it!

I love the good combinations that some boxers throw in their fights!

I admire boxers like Bernard Hopkins & Evander Holyfield; they're in their 40's and they still have the ability & the power to give us good fights!

WAAAAAR BOXING!

The fact that there is no team...

It is one on one.... Man vs Man....

There is no on e there to pick up your slack....

Everything depends on YOU and no one else....

I like the characters. Roger Mayweather, you couldn't make that mother****er up. Freddie Roach, same. It's like a ****ing soap opera except instead of going back in their trailers they get punched in the face. How can you beat that?

I can appreciate the balls it must take to step into the ring infront of thousands of people and put it all out on the line. Plus I've boxed for several years and can appreciate how hard a pro trains

I love it cause its a war between two athletes. Some are far more talented than others but the whole fight can change with one punch.
I admire guys like Mosley, Cotto, Pac, JMM who take on all comers and arent afraid to fight the best maybe because they already lost ...I dont know
I admire guys like Mayweather. RJJ, for their natural talent.
and I admire guys like Morales, Barrera, Gatti, Ward, for giving their all in the ring

Boxing is real comp, man on man. It's the only sport that ain't a game. Fighters risk they life in the ring. I been watchin boxing my whole life. Helped me appreciate ******s that threw them thangs instead of flexin heat if they had beef that needed to be settled. I admire any fighter who gets in there and gives his all.

cuz that's the way I grew up - you want to fight, then fight like a man and put your dukes up and box.
