Fu ck Floyd Mayweather. Taking Punishment is badass.

[Glamour Puss]

Of all the fights I've ever seen, the classics are the ones where guys dish out and take punishment and PERSEVERE through it.

They take it to the very edge of life and death and come out on the other side.

Some aren't so lucky. But even they are immortalized by the display of courage and valor in battle.

For Mayweather to say that makes me question his heart. He chose boxing yet he doesn't wanna take punishment???

Pssh..

Watching guys fight in brutal fights at the top level is the only thing thats ever got me out of my seat and compelled me to yell. Its the only thing thats ever made me even want to box in the first place.

Taking punishment for punishment sake is ******, but to do it in a classic battle against another ATG is ***ing magic.

Thats what legends are made of.

In boxing Jack....you get points for hitting your opponent.......not taking punches.

Nothing wrong with a good brawl, but I don't think getting hit is necessary at all. Where would Bernard Hopkins be today if he fought like Ward (mikey).

I know.

But to say "taking punishment ain't cool" is bull****. Imagine if Williams/Martinez fought safety first?

We wouldn't be talking about it now.

Besides, at the highest level, taking punishment is inevitable. Guys are too good at the top to avoid their punches.

LOL I think it's cool if you can take shots.

I dunno if Margs cheated or not, but his chin seems like a cool dude.

I mean Sweet Pea fought safety first as did Ali.......theyre both great...

If you had a boxer.........

Would you train him to fight like Hatton or Mayweather??

Ali went to war countless times when he got old and past prime.

Mayweathers skills, Hattons tenacity and heart.

Ali went to war countless times when he got old and past prime.

When he lost his athletic ability??

In boxing you get points on giving punches........not taking.
