Is it becoming the norm to have no class?

[W1LL]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. seems to have started something which has gotten out of hand. They don't give the other man props, they talk disrespectful about past greats, make excuses for their own shortcomings. These are not good trends for these young fighters to be picking up. Yet it's all cool, because Floyd does this kind of stuff.

Just recently look how David Lemieux and Guillermo Rigondeaux both got outclassed. Both claimed injuries rather than give the other man props.

Look at how disrespectful James DeGale was towards Chris Eubank Sr., days before being sent on a one-way journey to Bum City himself.

Look at the way Gervonta Davis, Adrien Broner, Terence Crawford conduct themselves outside of the ring. It's flashy doe.

Always been like this.

There's a lot of pride in boxing, probably much more than in other sports. Especially since it's a 1v1 sport. At least in team sports you can always blame someone besides yourself. In boxing you can only really blame yourself for coming up short.

[PsychoPat]

It's just ego which is commonplace throughout society nowadays people are ego driven instead of wanting to support and nurture one another.

the majority look to selfishly improve self without regard for others we have been conditioned to be this way. so as to not unite and oppose governments who want complete control of our minds and principles choices in life look up mk ultra. This was the pilot of many modern psychological operations

which use suggestive imagery, subliminal messaging certain frequencies can all alter our perception and our interactions with one another we are becoming more hateful and less inclined towards spirituality and oneness.

[Redd Foxx]

People don't get into boxing because of their intelligence or social capabilities. I think it's just easier to see how angry, ******, and tasteless they are now due to social media and the speed at which info travels. I can't imagine what Duran, Tyson, and others would be saying online if they were young, modern champs.

[GhostofDempsey]

it started with Ali taking it to the mainstream. Floyd took it to another level with social media. Tyson Fury and BJS are just as classless and disrespectful.

It's a good move nowadays. A man used that strategy and became the US president.

He says with a Billie Joe Saunders avatar...

[Robbie Barrett]

How can a Saunders and Fury fan talk ****? They're far more classless than Mayweather. The injury excuse has had a recent surge in popularity thanks to Pacquiao.

[jmrf4435]

gervonta is just strgiht ******, he cannot really helpe it, it;s how he was raised.

Crawford needs to learn how to conduct himself in the interview, he will lose fans. HE acts angry that he's even being interviewed

I find that post fight, or even side interviews during a big fight are really important for fan perception.

[_original_]

Floyd always gave props and respect to his opponents after the fight. not like it matters, this is boxing anyways sissy, we watch men fight who cares how they conduct themselves? Didn't we all love guys like Duran and Tyson?
