    Do you ever enjoy watching a boxer because they cheat?

    I'm not advocating breaking of the rules, potentially harming another boxer or any of those things.... just sometimes, seeing some blatantly break the rules cracks me up.

    I don't really like it at top level - Burn hard and his head was never a good sight for someone that's a future HOF.

    But Carlos Maussa so blatantly doesn't give a **** - back of the head, balls, headbutts, rubbing of cuts, the lot - that he just cracks me up, period.

    I remember Calzone in October last year having a very off night against Kabary Salem. Salem had such a joi de vivre in his blatant fouling that I couldn't help but like the guy. He wasn't a sneaky guy, letting the head slide in on the ref's blind spot, he was like "look at me, I'm putting the nut in, and I just don't give a **** - in fact, I'm enjoying myself doing it."

    There was another prominent example but it's slipped my mind for now... but those are definitely two guys that I find amusing, and would actually consider watching just to see how blatantly they bend the rules.

    My brother thinks that Nard's headbut of Jermain Taylor in the first fight was more skillfull then Lennox's right hand against Rock.

          You mean like Castillo weighing in at 138 1/2 pounds before fighting at 135? Nah, no satisfaction.

              Oh, I remembered my third pic - how could I forget? - Tyson!! Anyone can foul... it takes a real man to try and break your arm and bite your nipple off in full view of the referee. A class act.

                That reminds me of Tyson headbutting Holyfield in their first fight, then blatantly play acting to the ref that Holyfield butted him.

                ****in *****.

                THEN he justifies his ear biting in the rematch by saying Holyfield was butting!!!

                It makes me happy to know he was beat up by Holyfield.


                Also, Mustafa Hamsho butting Hagler in their second fight. He got KTFO soon after. lol

                  i like it when ricky hatton and bernard hopkins do it.

                  i dont like them for it, but i kinda smirk when they do it.
