Can a boxer be called a coward?

dude, you are the extreme opposite of therealpugilist. i don't think you are a real GGG fan at all tbh

im a true fan of GGG, and being the opposite of the realpugilist is one of the better complements ive received for sure.

Only by losers on a Forum who never boxed or put on a Pair Of Gloves their entire lives. If you ever tried boxing yourself, I Guarantee you wouldn't call any Pro Boxer a "Coward"

ive boxed before, and what im saying is if i was boxing against someone who was a novice, that doesnt make me some hero does it. And if i fought novices constantly instead of someone who was half decent that would make me a coward, dont you think? that seems to be what a hell of a lot of these fighters are doing at the moment, fighting people below their level

I don't consider them cowards or bums.

Are some boxers scared? I think so

But fighters all have physical courage

and spurs are only using wembley for champions league, which is midweek games, not the weekend.

Didnt know that they dont Play there in PL ,still idk how is it a duck, they had week or 2 to make it so they would make it in the begining of November and fight Dec 10 ,its impossible big fights dont work like this ,Hearn know it and Wlad Know it ,WBA would be a thing to make fight even bigger

fair enough mate, i understand they want to minimise punishment, although i do object when some of these fighters are way below them, like a garcia v salka kind of fight

Yeah ,I do agree that these mismatches at a world level endanger the lower level fighter.And it makes the sport look bad.And even worse are the ones where young prospects ,especially punchers who fight guys on the way up that don't only have bad records,but are clearly not even fit by everyday standards.Like David Prices last fight.I barely want to look at some of them.

yeah, well to be honest i hope you are correct and im wrong, cause i want to see the fight. But boxing in 2016 has made me more cynical about fights being made

i agree with this, being scared and being a coward are two completely different things

[pvj]

yes.

soldiers can be cowards as well.

Being a fighter isnt an automatic immunity for CHRONIC ducking/ cherry picking.

U can call them that, but 99.9999% of the time u would be wrong!!! Fighters don't duck or cherry pick....hell they hardly decide their opponents....the real culprit is savvy business that looks to maximise profits and longevity.

The guys we see on tv are the best, of the best, of the best. The worst champ you've ever seen has ego, skillset and confidence the size of Texas.

Most cowards are weeded out the gym long before their 1st amatuer fight. The few that survive are plucked long before their 1st professional fight. In fact, anyone with even an ounce of doubt will have a difficult time winning a fight, let alone a belt.
