      I would say no, because boxers who can't deal with that sort of fighter will call that guy a coward as an excuse to why they lost and people talk the same jive that the boxers they like do. Then the more it gets said the more is just becomes accepted.

        most fans are glass jawed disgraces

        Maybe they are the true cowards for never even trying the sport despite talking about it all day

          That's not being a "boxer"

          For instance, Dirrell vs Froch. That wasn't boxing, that was RUNNING, yes that is cowardly.

              Point taken............do you think this is more of the view of a casual fan though?

                  A bit but the more people that say it the more that become the perception, and once that starts happening even hard core fans will look at it that way.

                  You can see it here there are some who defend "boxers", while others don't like them at all and the people who dislike boxers can't stand it if they get called a casual fan because of their distaste for "boxers".

                    I agree, This thread makes no sense... Was Ray Robinson, De La Hoya, Ray Leonard, Hopkins labeled cowards for boxing?
