Comments Thread For: Role Models - The Heart and Soul of Boxing

This has got to be one of the most idiotic articles I have ever read. For someone who writes on boxing to be promoting cave-men fights, it just says a lot about you.
The two fighters that you are celebrating here, Arturo Gatti and Diego Corrales were both DESTROYED by Floyd Mayweather. None of them won even a single minute of any round. Not one!!
Now you are suggesting to us that these are the two guys that make boxing exciting. That they make us look at them as heroes. What kind of logic is that?
The other boxer-brawler you celebrate again is Juan Manuel Marquez who was also beaten by Floyd in another very lopsided unanimous 12 round decision. AGAIN, HE DID NOT EVEN WIN A SINGLE MINUTE OF ANY ROUND!!!!
You and I and any boxing fan knows that if Alvarado or Rios or Bradley were to ever fight Floyd, they would all get destroyed yet you are here spewing all these garbage talk about heroism and iron will that suggests they are better fighters than pure boxers like Floyd.
You are either drunk or just a buffoon but I think you are just someone who is paid to come write idiotic stuff like this so that you can generate reader outrage and in response generate thousands of response from disgruntled readers like myself. And you have succeeded.

Another good post, thanks.

Its called boxing not brawling. Hit and not get hit.

There is nothing cool about not being able to walk or talk when youre old. All those fighters are taking years off their lives fighting like that. The fans and writers won't give two ****s about them when they are gone. It's disgusting to encourage them to kill each other. Rios and Alvarado won't be competing at a top level for very long because of what they did to each other and their styles.

Very true talk.

No no no
I enjoyed watching it but Bradley should never have been in the kind of fight he was in and never should again. Unless he wants to get to know that brain specialist he's having to go and see a whole lot better.

Agreed, I respect brawlers but what Bradley did was simply ******.

The fans are the reasons why these fighters make money, don't act like the fighters are getting exploited.

RIP Chico.

but no article with "role model" in the title, should ever sport a pic of someone who went to jail for beating his pregnant wife.
