    There is a fine line to walk when dealing with being over the top brash as I call it. Boxing is and has been a "Gentlemen's Sport", where there is no need to show respect before the bout, or even during i.e. the touching of gloves, as the respect of both men are/will be earned between them during the bout, then expressed after the bout has come to its conclusion. After the bout is over the respect should be displayed win, lose, or draw; and this is where I think your nephew should make it his business to mature as it will not only make him a better fighter, but also a better person.

    The fella in my avi was notorious for clowning any and everybody he fought, and in a era where the death threats where real, he still managed to be gracious in win or defeat. THAT is the model we as a people need to follow in this Boxing game.

    Your nephew should keep his confidence sky high my man, but practice humility after the final bell has been rung.

    Also I would mind him that the energy he puts into "clowning" would be better served in finding the slight wrinkles in his game both offensively and defensively, and perfecting those areas. I pray and hope for his success. I hope he puts it all together and comes out on top.
    the chief has spoken!!!!!!!!!!

            He's also the most well known and influential fighter of all time.

              He was the damn man. Forget just boxing, everything. He played a major part in revolutionizing counter culture and stood up to the system by him not giving a f.uck.

              That's how a real man with a spine behaves.

              Should say still is but I mean active

                Nobody likes an arrogant asshole. Sure there are no rules against it so one is free to act as such, but there aren't any rules saying people have to like it either.

                Its ****** to act in a manner that you know will piss people off, then complain when they actually do get pissed.

                    Why would you be disrespectful in the first place, its a sport not some personal beef. Adding drama to athletic competition is irrational and in being so womanly because absence of reason and in its place emotion is a feminine characteristic.
