Frighteningly enough, I think I know EXACTLY what Double L is talking about here.opcorn: If he'd been sober he might have made an interesting topic for discussion out of this.
if you know exactly what i'm talking about, then how did i fail? lt me know if you need me to explain further my take on the hippety-hop fighter, why he's not entertaining, what his specific goal in a fight is, what his fears are, and how they'e beaten.
Ok, yeah, try and explain it better because I think I know but I find it extremely difficult to explain/fully understand myself.
one way to explain it: all sizzle and no steak. they can't man up and live in the ring with their opponent, so they hide behind a gangster facade, hoping it will obscure or distract from the audience that basically, they fight like pussies. They want their cake (a reputation as a brilliant fighter) and eat it too (hold, pot-shot, refuse to trade). All sizzle and no steak. My guess is most of these guys (e.g. RJJ) aren't even true fans of the sport.
What issues? Your views on certain cultural elements of people....erm fighters, voiced through your own insecurity? Everyone here knows how you feel. There's no room for discussion in this thread as its simply a thread all about you.
another poor guess. considering that "most" of the 5 you listed (1,2,&5) are always ringside watching big fights.
wtf you talking about? u see no common thread connecting these fighters? namely that they're there hoping NOT to fight?
Yes, all of them have black skin (One of them acts like one) and they are not brawlers thus worthy of your rage. What tam is saying is, this connection says more about you than generating a worthwhile boxing discussion.
so you're so skin-obsessed. it's yours and tam's responses that are revealing - introducing race to the discussion when it's clearly one about boxing styles. i'm offended that you've attribted your hang-up to me. my topic is about boxing styles - a particular one. your interpretation is that it's a about skin color. your job is to discover the difference before you make accusations such as you have.
