One of my favorite back and forth's between George and Larry occurred during Hopkins-Trinidad. George was admonishing Hop for going toe to toe. "Don't go back to Philadelphia too soon!" Larry responded, "George, many great boxers have come out of Philadelphia. You couldn't survive the famous gym wars if you didn't know how to box." Beatings to the head over time can shorten lives, not just careers. But this is the sport they've chosen. Brutal gym wars are a part of that, for better or worse.Last edited by jas; 09-07-2014, 11:55 AM.

in boxing everyone takes their beatings, there is no getting around it. you cant become a good defensive fighter without learning how to avoid punches thrown with bad intentions. ive seen several guys look sharp as hell only to get nailed and turn into a sloppy mess.
these guys are being taught how to stay shard under pressure, when tired and having heavy artillery thrown their way.
as a fighter you are going to take beatings, so its better to do it in the gym with big gloves, headgear and without your record on the line. the idea im sure is that if you learn to survive in "the dog house" you can survive in the ring when it matters. nothing will faze you.
the world class fighters at the gym dont go at it like that, because they know what prizefighting is about. they dont need to be thrown to the wolves in order to be prepared for a long hard professional fight, they have been there. they are already able to stay calm in any situation and not take unnecessary punishment when the stakes are high.
safety does come first in the long run, but you cant avoid getting beat up altogether. there is no hypocrisy going on.

So Floyd is a PSSY?
Please explain Floyd fans your hypocrisy? This is one funny thread where those Floyd fans that parrot "Health comes first" are the same ones that are calling posters PSSY for something that is way way more damaging than Maidana just wanting to fight with his APPROVED gloves .... yet, thread after thread, Floyd and his fans are saying "Health comes first"
at 6:40 mark
"What was wrong with those gloves?" - Reporter
"When fighters die or go to the hospital .... protect the fighters .... I'm the face of boxing. I want to clean up the sport. This is not a bare-knuckle brawl. I have a career after boxing." - Floyd
