Great boxers who were great human beings

[WarHagler]

You almost made it. Couldn't cross the finish line without an insult. Meanwhile, you tell me to learn how to spell while using incorrect grammar.

"wasn't no saint" - should read, "wasn't a saint".

"most of his all around him we're" - WTF are you trying to say here? How about, "most of those around him"?

For one thing it's were not we're--as in "we are".

You don't need to capitalize "moron".

You're welcome.

I see a lot of grammar correcting but not a rebuttal . And I'll admit i do need to work on my grammar but as you said we're flawed . Also thank you .

I cant say about the greats of the past as i don't know them but what i can say is that 2 of the most genuine, nicest men in the sport will battle each other this Saturday in Manchester - Ricky Burns and Ant Crolla!

Floyd Mayweather jr

I was actually going to also say Foreman but according to an ESPN documentary he used to hit women. But it is kind of weird how that is the only documentary that mentions that.

"We always wrap his hands like that"

Muhammad Ali should be number one. The most important and influential, in a positive manner, boxing personality of them all.

Schmeling was also important and sadly he was sort of dragged along in the **** propaganda but he did try and distance himself later and called them out on various issues.

"We always wrap his hands like that"

More like a loophole. Even ****m Richardson said as much. The way the wrap was wrapped was legal in Nevada, California, Puerto Rico, Mexico basically everywhere.

" But the thing is this, Tito Trinidad deserves to be in the Hall of Fame because the way Tito got his hands wrapped was legal in other states. It wasn't legal in New York, but it was legal in other states,"

"See, the way Margarito was getting his hands wrapped, that **** was illegal in MMA and every other sport and in every state. I can see if William [Joppy] was making that argument about Margarito, but with Tito, he just tried to wrap his hands...it could be an honest mistake."

Richardson added, "The Tito thing I think was more of ignorance. It was the fact that they were used to wrapping his hands like that all the time and most of the places you fight, like Vegas and everything, it's cool to wrap like that. So when they came to New York, they didn't think nothing of it. They just wrapped his hands the way they always wrap his hands. Well, we working by and abiding by the rules of New York, so I argued the case. But it ain't like the Margarito thing where he was blatantly trying to pull one off. One was ignorance and one was illegal."

So, sure an argument can be made about the NY rules (which are a vast minority) and since he fought in places such as Vegas, Puerto Rico, Mexico, France, California, Florida, Italy before he'd been to NYC he'd wrapped his hands a legal way and I don't think you would really expect the rules on something as basic as a hand wrap to be that different in NY. So the "we always wrap that way" is plausible and also legal. Your acting like all the time he fought he cheated which is blatantly incorrect and probably biased.
