Why are people so attracted to classless fighters?

[edgarg]

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?

I think you are in error a bit. I was around during Lewis's career, and, after he became champion, he never stopped praising himself and running others down. He didn't use foul language, because that wasn't his style, but, every time he was commentating he would bring his own prowess into his remarks. After his co-workers saw his inclination, they would deliberately inject a question to Lewis which would allow him to glorify himself all over again. Like a child who needs affection. How many times have we heard him say "a pugilist specialist".... "I'm like fine wine- as I get older I get better"... "I'm the real world champion, because I've boxed in several countries"..."I'll have one Klitschko for breakfast and the other for lunch". etc. No foul language, and harmless really, but tiresome and boring. What I call "mingy".

You should listen to Larry Merchant trying to pin him down after the Klitschko fight. He wriggled and twisted and evaded, and accused and excused. All Merchant was doing was trying to get Lewis to admit that Klitschko was a lot better than he had thought.

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.

Biggest true Mayweather fan here. think he's the best in the world and the best I've ever seen fighting in color.

Agree 100%.

Because this is America buddy. We like to have an input on celebrities lives. How else would I know that Amanda Bynes walks around tanning salons naked. I need my Tmz. Get a grip. lol

You want a role model, take a scientist or a general.

Good boxers who are also good people are the exception.

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.

The so-called Hip Hop generation is what the young people gravitate to, its a culture thats values money over substance and looks over brains!! So the weak kids get caught up in the "fad" while the fad setter move on to yuppie status in Beverly Hills! Mayweather is just coping the culture he thinks is "reality"!!
I personally care what kind of men professional boxers are because it legitimizes the sport if their men with honor and pride with a few brains thrown in!! The out of control press confrences that Ali had became the Tyson rants about killing someone to Mayweather thinking he's a Money Dispensor hahahaha I just have the feeling that the kid will be broke and become a sad story.
If you have loud mouth ignorant participants you get loud mouth ignorant fans. So the sport gets deminished and becomes a very small event in comparison to what the fan base was years ago. No Class draws Low Class!

have to agree with this, hip hop culture is disgusting and should be looked down upon. luckily the naive people who do look up to this culture never make it far, while others become successful, and become the owners of those so called hip hop labels

How classy was Ray Robinson for beating his wife into multiple miscarriages and treating everyone else (namely his son) like they were below him?

Could you pass that message along to your dad too? He doesn't seem to listen to me when I tell him.
