They think highly of themselves. They feel they’re tough, athletic, etc.
Lastly, just plain ignorance. Chollo for example (regardless of how stupid he comes off) has a bit of a mental disability in regards to the word “amateur”. Because he himself had a huge false sense of ego about himself mixed with a lack of understanding of amateur boxing, he felt that a pro fighter is the only real fighter. In reality as I said before, I could grab 2 or 3 JO’s at about 130 that would get him out of there within a minute.
So in his mind somewhere along the line he convinced himself he could never be considered an “amateur” because than was “less-than” a pro. He just flat out doesn’t understand boxing.
Now with Harper, (oops, just name dropped) it’s probably all along by same lines, but I think it just all revolves around not understanding the skill level in the amateurs. Just flat out never being around boxing at all.
