Where is the respect for fighters?

[Tha Greatest]

I respect any fighter that ever stepped in a ring...
Amateur or pro...

[Sir Fancylot]

The fact is, it's tough not to cross the line.

You should respect what the fighters do, but when people make dishonourable acts, are we to respect them still? or to a lesser extent?

very well said post by the thread creator. I am guilty of this too. We just assume that guys who came from severe poverty will make money, manage it well, and assimiliate into society just that easily. It just doesn't work that way, and it won't until there is an organization in place that has boxing and boxers best interests in mind.
