    Showboating against journey men

    Why do fighters do this? I can understand showing off against a top class fighter or a fight where in the beginning the result could arguably go either way but when an opponent is essentially put in the ring as fodder for your resume it looks pathetic as far as I'm concerned.

    I was essentially reminded of how annoying I find this **** when Malignaggi fought Cotto. It was just incredibly disrespectful and I wanted him to get brutally KOed the moment he started doing that shit.

    sergio martinez isn't showboating when he keeps his hands low against those eurobums. he just hasn't learned a proper boxing stance yet.

          Let me see if you're consistent. Roy Jones did it on many occasions. Was it disgusting?

                  just trying to make the poster realise the ******ity of his post.. Ali of course is an ATG, i did not mean disrespect. Though Sergio is not on Alis level, he got skills. Saying he hasnt cause he keeping his hands low is IMO ******..
