Ridiculous things you've heard casuals say

"Boxers hands are classed as weapons"

I've seen many cases in Inner London Crown court bringing up the fact a dependent has some form of amateur or professional training of some sort.

Of course they are going to take that into account, just like they'd take the size of someone if he beats up someone much smaller. Doesn't mean they're classed as weapons and there's anything written in law about trained fighters being treated differently.

The most ridiculous: "Golovkin is a great fighter." Lol...

"Canelo was smart to avoid GGG because he knew he was not ready yet."

Ummm...Didn't Canelo himself say this? He wanted to wait "until my body is ready"....?

That is an opinion that doesn't make one a casual. Whether you agree that he is or isn't that's fine. But a guy who many experts have as the best P4P fighter, and almost all have in the top 10, thinking he might be "great" doesn't make someone a casual.

Lame attempt.

"When you start training in boxing, your trainer breaks your nose, so when is broken is broken and wont happen during fights"

this one is a classic over here

they think that once the nose is broken, it becomes some kind of rubber.

Not totally untrue. Maybe not by law officially but professional martial artists or boxers can have it used against them in court if they attack someone that isn't, like a form of abusing their power.

Yea if you're ever in court for something physical, and the prosecution finds out you're a boxer? Not good...

The Golovkin haters just can't control themselves.

Casuals - I scored that a 10-10 round.

BTW I think there should be 10-10 rounds but casuals don't understand that virtually no judges will score 10-10 rounds. I have heard it is more common though in Argentina.

It's possible, it's just impossible know for sure because everything is relative but the overall standard today might be higher.

In every sport where there's a definitive measure of greatness, like a world record such as a time record, weight record, distance, etc etc. the records continued to be broken again and again as time goes on because the athletes get better. It's just that in sports like boxing, football etc, it's all opinion based and there's no true measurement.

It would be quite ignorant to disregard it when it's proven in pretty much every other sport where possible that athletes are basically way better than the past.

Emmanuel Steward touched on this topic once. He said that while fighters these days are much technically sound than those of the past, the men back then were very, very hard men.

Imagine if these men were around these snowflakes today.

Mayweather could beat Muhammad Ali but he couldn't beat Mike Tyson...........

No lie... someone said this to me.........
