Alright, a little bit of philosophy here. Please don't start running away, just read the whole post at least. At least a half of it... Alright.
I'm not an old-time boxing fan, I am not old in a wider sense since I'm 27 year old. By the way I have happened to notice by comments around the net, specially on youtube, a whole flock of spolied young kids (and also less-young kids), who declare without a drop of shame, that fighters like Vitali Klitschko, or Floyd Mayweather jr. are boooring. Not to mention the "gayweather" hype, very similar to the "cowardzaghe" or "slappy" hype...
Now, this makes me su****ious. Could it be that in the past times, decades ago, let's say, pre-WWII times, ther were similar kids (and older guys too) who had the "guts" to call, I don't know, Henry Armstrong or Primo Carnera boooring? I seriously doubt that. I hope not at least. Honestly.
Well: may it be that the whole wealth thing, I mean, broadcasting oneself, attention craving fashion victim ego-maniac yuppie mentality that came along with the 1980s, has eventually made its way though the fragile brains of video-games-chips-and-sprite addict youngsters?
I don't know men, I just cannot explain myself how some hyper-skilled, talented, brilliant fighters could ever get the attributes of "boring" or "****", or a reigning world champion being treated so disrespectfully, and in a way so widely accepted, or, at best, ignored.
Some people, specially youngsters, seem so busy trying to escape the natural sorrow and pain that's implied in anyone's existence, and the unavoidable effort that's required to live a decent life, that they happen to lose the sense of reality.
Bottom line: please, if any administrator of this site will ever spot me writing words like "boring", "gayweather", "cowardzaghe", or similar... Please, delete my account straight away. Do it for me. Cut the power off, unplug me. Because it would mean that The Nothing has made its way into my brains at last, and has left no space for anything else.
Thank you.
