    Why are people so attracted to classless fighters?

    What happened to the days when boxers were gentlemen in and out of the ring? Why the need to down talk your opponent,act like a criminal for television cameras? It is sad to see promising boxers going to jail over foolishness simply because they refuse to act like men. Look at all the attention some rapper and Floyd are getting just by acting ******. It is pathetic and sad and even worse posters rather indulge in that garbage then talk about actual boxing. This is why i am a huge Klitschko fan because they hold themselves in high standards and act like men. They give back to people with less and you don't hear about them going to jail,or going on Twitter posting ridiculous garbage for attention.

    People like controversy and drama. Always have, always will.

      Because some people care more about how boxers fight than how they act in their personal lives.

      We aren't looking for boyfriends or husbands.

        Lennox Lewis for the most part is very classy(especially for someone who grew up in a horrible situation just like Tyson) but Klittards still hate Lennox.


        Floyd fans also seem to be Ward fans. Floyd and Ward are completely different in personality and nature.

          So why was everyone so interested in a rapper and a part time boxer arguing on Twitter?

            This is the question I always want to ask Klitschko fans.
            I want you to answer since you seem to be one.

            If a Prime Lennox Lewis was around in today's division with his class and his lack of trash talking. Will you be his fan?

            If Klitschkos were Jamician British fighters from London instead of Ukraine?

            Will you be their fans still? Same personality, same skills, same achivements. but they are now Jamicians from London. What happens?

                If you weren't a spastic, would you be able to score fights?

                  In this instance i believe it to be a pure example of Occam's Razor. In other words, because they are, most likely, classless themelves. Those who are better than that, are just blinded by the notoriety generated by these creepers. They get their sight back when they grow up a little, and start thinkiing about the important things in life.

                    that's the only way some of these boxers can get some publicity, otherwise they suck and would have no fans.


                    -broner
                    -mayfield

                    good examples. Floyd doesn't really belong there since he has a high skill output and would likely have some fans regardless of his mouth
