Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Feels Lack of Personalities Led To Boxing's Decline

[_original_]

Mike is always crapping on boxing and bigging up UFC. Not sure why anybody cares about what this guy says anymore in regards to current boxing.

Buds gotten into trouble atleast 3-4 times with the law I don’t think that’s it it’s just these guys not fighting eachother consistently

Getting arrested isn't showing personality or charisma.

Mike doesn't know ***** - I've been reading from paid posters all week how it's good for boxing that an outlet like HBO can't find enough talent or personalities to find it worthwhile to continue its boxing programming, they'd rather just close up shop. It's a good thing Mike, get with the times.

Anthony Joshua has about as much personality as a snail

I think its easier to get away with that in the UK.

I also don't think people realize how different the cultures are either. Specifically to boxing. In the UK they'll still love you when you lose. Go ask Groves & Price about that. In the US your fanboys might just sell you out after a L.

Different sh^t going on in the US vs the UK.

A lot of people care what Mike has to say because he was arguably the most polarizing fighter in boxing. Not on Ali’s level but when Iron Mike came along, he had us all in suspense. We even enjoyed seeing him get plastered by Holyfield, Douglas, and Lewis. When Mike speaks people listen because he knows boxing too. He has been well publicized as being a student of boxing. And the people on here talking sh@t about him would NEVER get in the ring with him or say it to his face!

Mike? meet Adrian Broner. you'll be best of friends!

Gervonta Duck Davis gets popularity among black suckers who consider themselves mean mfers. Good to him? Fk him! I don't give a *** about him, Broner, BJ Saunders and others thugs who believe being a prick means having a Personality from a capital P.

Charisma =/= breaking the law.

Boxers today are also less hungry. Their mindset is different. Not that long ago all worked and fought hard for the recognition. Now everything is more carefully planned under the guise of business.

Let's put it this way. How many fighters are out there making million+ purses and still willing and wanting more risks? You could count them with one hand.

NO. FEMINISM CAUSED IT. You can't be yourself anymore. Deontay Wilder is a good dude and has great trash talk and he gets knocked every time he tries to act masculine. You have to be a White Knight Mangina Cuck for the media to act like you are interesting nowadays and it doesn't work.

Pacquiao was himself and that's why he was popular - same with Floyd eventually.
