    DELUSIONAL 154 POUNDER, Q and A about him

    Dear BT!! I just read BTALK interview with Travis Simms. Is that kid delusional? Crazy? Does he really have delusions of grandeur like he appears to have? I read a couple interview with him and it seems like he is living in a fantasy world, pretending that he is a big time fighter. In reality he is almost invisible. I read his interviews (he's done about 3 in the last two years on the net) and he always comes across like he sees himself as some kind of boxing star. I find it odd, that's all and was wondering what you thought of this. He was stripped of his WBA (regular) title for refusing to fight a rematch with the guy he knocked out on the break (Garcia) and now he is on the BT site trying to make people think he was stripped of the title "because the WBA didn't want to enforce my mandatory with the winner of Mosely and Wright."

    If that was even true it would stand to reason that it would be because nobody on earth other than Simms would want to even see him fight the winner. People across the world would be saying "who is this Simms guy that Winky is fighting?" The real deal, EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS, is that they stripped him because he refused to fight Garcia. That is common knowledge. Have you dealt with Simms before and is he as delusional as he seems?

    BT: We have known about Simms for a while now as he is a New York based fighter. Not a bad fighter, really. Not exactly top world class but a solid all around guy. Has been inactive and never really made a name for himself like he hoped so in a way you are right about his kind of delusional view of himself. While he isn't well known and doesn't have a name in the game he isn't a bad boxer. Probably past his prime now but he's not too bad.

    Many champion boxers have a higher self image of themselves than what reality offers. When you're surrounded by people constantly inflating your confidence and telling you you're an all time great, it's easy to believe it.

      True enough but this guy is not a champion and not known enough to try and fool the public into thinking he is a boxing star. Seems to me he is living in some sort of fantasy world

        LOL, a well respected name in the boxing business related to me in great detail the incidences that suggest that Simms suffers from delusions of granduer. They are actually quite funny, but I'm not going to elaborate.

            I dunno, I promised the unnamed source I wouldn't divulge this information, plus he's on these forums alot. Sorry, gotta protect the source. It is some pretty funny stuff though, I couldn't believe how corny some of it was.

              Simms is a pretty solid fighter from the little I have seen of him. He beat a faded Bronco McKart if I recall. I don't know why he wouldn't fight Garcia again seeing that he looked pretty good in that fight to me. Inactivity is costing this guy a career, but he has talent. All fighters think they have more than they have. When I won my first 10 straight amatuer fights in my mind I believed I was unbeatable. Then I lost 3 straight and learned otherwise.

                solid maybe. but he talkes like he is a pound 4 pounder LOL reading an interview with him, if you didnt know him,you would think he was a three time world champ with 12 title defenses making millions and had beaten delahoya and trinidad. instead of a guy whose big "claim to fame" was beating bronco mkart by decision when bronco was really on the down side of his career. sims was a wba rgular champ at one time, not a real champ.he was a fake champ and hes hasnt fought in like forever. who cares

                  If you were going to fight in the squared squared, you'd be fearless too and think highly of yourself. And slight negativaty may **** with your chance of winng a fight.
