For a grown ass Man U sure do act pretty immatureSee, I despair of comments like this. Every time Ward stinks the place out, the 'slick pure boxer sweet science slickster' brigade, basically the boxing fan equivalent of hipsters, have to try and tell everyone that doesnt like the fact that they have been bored to tears that they're not real fans because they cant appreciate what has just fooking bored them. GTFOH with that corny ****! I have been involved in the sport and have been a fan of the sport for over 30 years and dont need some snotty nosed, thick as pig**** eejit trying to tell me that a turd is really a golden nugget. It isnt. Its a turd no matter how much you try and polish it.

That says all. Cool post.I don't think boxing will ever die. The top boxers make more money today than they ever did before. The highest paid MMA star would have to fight about 50 times to make the same money Floyd makes for one fight. There are lots of boxers fighting today with exciting styles. GGG, Garcia, Matthysse, Thurman, Maidana, Pacquiao, Rios and lots of other fighters really come to fight.
Also, the thing is, exciting is a relative word. I find boxers with defensive art more exciting than face first, unskilled fighters.Comment

Thankfully not anywhere near! And its a pic of Boner, larry x and Big Dunn making themselves look like mincers. It makes me lol everytime I see it. As far as 'boxing IQ'(what that amounts too in that void between your ears is
) goes, well my cat takes craps that know more about boxing than you. That much is evident from your 'contribution' in this thread alone!

Your a old man that has old world views!!! And you are a racist I really don't know if your a coward by your post but your a racist !! You served you country and I respect that but the placement mind set you have is bad for young fansWhere the **** did that come from? Typical cowardly floyd spastic. The fanbase universally regarded on here as the dimmest and the most racist.
As for the rest of your crappy post. It wouldnt really matter whether I had never set foot in a gym or gone to a fight card, fans of the sport(not fans of individual fighters or in your case, fans that back fighters because of their ethnicity) generally have working eyes and learn as they watch and grow their interest in the sport. As it happens, I boxed extensively as a kid and also represented my regiment 12 times whilst serving in the army. I still also train(though cant fight because of injury at the moment) to keep in shape and help and support the other lads in my gym. We have both an amateur and professional set up across 3 different sites and even have one of our juniors representing England in Russia at the moment.
You're a prize prick, my race baiting little derpling.

What do you base that on...be specific, I could do with a laugh. I know why you and the rest of the village people are racist and have any one of about 250000 posts to support that. And lol at 'old man'...I was still fighting only two years ago and still would be had I not sustained the injuries I have.
P.S its 'you're' not 'your'. Thicko.Comment

Obviously right now boxing does good based on the fact that most of us grew up with it in the 80's and 90's, but what comes after us? The next generation don't seem to care.
Boxing is evolving, and it's becoming more and more popular for boxers who have a style of winning without having a fight. This style is becoming more effective.
The old school brawlers and sluggers are not as effective, the violence and entertainment is getting rarer.
Casuals want to see blood and guts, two guys trading, brutal ko's, and it's the casuals who buy PPV, while hardcore fans watch on streams most of the time
You look at the guys on top, and coming through and they are the opposite of that
When these brawlers develop degenerative brain diseases from taking so many shots to the head and are no longer able to support themselves, will these blood thirsty war mongers be there to support them? Have you made a contribution to help pay Abdusalamov's medical bills?
I think we as boxing fans expect way too much from these fighters and it's time for us to lower our expectations. This is not the freaking Colosseum. These fighters have families they need to provide for.

Oh dear. You have really reduced yourself there, schnuffty!
So come on then, support your baseless accusations of racism with something real, because its looking a lot like you are just projecting your own deeply ingrained racism. I'll wait.Comment
