So tired of calling every boxer a "warrior"

[king4fore]

I don't care about anyone that boxes on this site. It doesn't make you any more knowledgeable about boxing or sports in general than the next guy. And besides, if you were any good, you'd be boxing for money. I doubt more than 5-10 posters on this site have even made money boxing.

well i think anyone who steps in the ring is a warrior

Marquez is a great warrior!

Marquez? El polo Jutra? lol! How can he be a warrior when he ducked PAC in the rematch?

Fernando Vargas is a warrior

Disagree. Anyone who can box professionally is a "warrior". Takes a lot more guts than fighting amateur, sparring in the gym for fun, or sitting in front of the TV.

to me, you gotta take and give a lot of punches to be a warrior: therefore, to be a warrior, you must be a poor boxer and a strong fighter.

but mayweather couldnt be a boxer at all if he fought like gatti

so I guess if I run outside completely naked and roll in the snow for 30 minutes when its 20 degrees outside, I'm a warrior because I'm brave!

I kinda half agree. I think it takes a certain amount of "heart" to step in a boxing ring (professionally not amateur) b/c essentially the other guy is trying to knock your brains out. However, most of the fighters today fight with PRIDE, not heart and they are not warriors.

Being a warrior is when your down, you dig deep and actually TRY TO WIN. You don't clinch and hold and run when you are hurt but you throw back and you try to win. Cotto, Castillo, Corrales, Gatti are warriors. Mayweather, Wright, and definetly Byrd is not a warrior. Moving up 50 pounds does not make you a warrior.

Warriors are the ones that give the audience what they want to see!!! a WAR!!
