Now we all have fun at the expense of Stinger Karl here when he asks that us keyboard warriors stop talkin shit over the internet and say it to him personally and get your ass kicked...(::) But in all reality...how many of you guys that talk shit the way that you do on real fighters, would actually say the same things to the boxer face to face given the chance? Not politely say that they need to work on things but flat out call them a bum, say they have no talent, say they have glass in their chin and all that shit. I would like to actually hear some of the responses, cuz I have realised a lot of you guys(including me sometimes but very rarely) call some of the top guys talentless pieces of shits... Kind of like a racist joke if you can't say it in front of the race its about, then it shouldn't be said... So how many of you would actually say it to a boxers face?
@ MOST, Guys Here would CLEAN UP their Criticisms in a Face to Face Exchange w/a Fighter...But ANYBODY that Claims they'd BELITTLE a Professional Fighter To his Face is Straight Up LYING & Needs to DROP the "Tough Guy" FACADE... Kirk Johnson is Probably THE Most PASSIVE "Name" Fighter that REED has EVER Been Around...VERY Laid Back Dude to the Point of SHYNESS...Still, there's NO DOUBT that he'd have ZERO Problems SEVERELY Fucking Up a "Regular" Dude...YEARS Ago, Kirk MORE than Held his Own in an Out of Ring Altercation w/Ike Ibeabuchi, who was CERTIFIABLY CRAZY... Sure, REED Told Kirk to his Face that "Weighing 270 HURT" his Performance in the Klit Fight, but there was NOfuckingWAY REED was Gonna Call him a "BEACHED WHALE", as MANY Messageboard Posters have Done...In Boxing (AND in LIFE), People DON'T Like Being HARSHLY Criticized...There's a WAY to Get your Point Across w/Out Being a PRICK... REED:hammert:
To answer the question of the thread, I would punch Zoo straight in his little rat face, if I ever met him in person.
Hmmm...You're right. I wouldn't talk shit, I would just beat the living hell out of the little rat-faced scumbag.
i feel like i am pretty respectful to most fighters. if i saw roy jones somewhere i would simply not acknowledge him, rather than say i thought he wasn't as good as sliced bread. one guy that i do talk shit about that i would NEVER say a bad word to in person is James Toney. I will fully admit that too. I think the guy has been a waste of talent and was caught cheating, is a fat-ass etc etc. You won't hear any of that if i am within a 1 mile radius of James Toney
Reed do you remember anymore details about that scuffle between Kirk Johnson and Ike? I VAGUELY remember that happening but honestly wouldf have never remembered at all if you hadn't mentioned it just now
I would tell Mayweather what I thought of him in person. I would hope he punched me, cause I'd sue him and that would hurt more than any beating in the world. ::
Most of the dissing a fighter receives on these boards is taken in the context of said fighter being compared with his peers within the professional boxing organization and not with the puny guys punching away on their keyboards. So really, what sense would it make for me to walk up to Cintron and call him a bum when I know I'm not on his level as a fighter or even competing in his sport?
You would never talk shit to Mike Tyson, because u he could snap, and then would lose teeth. But I am sure you could diss Wlad and he would do nothing. You could diss..............Juan Manuel Marquez.....but not Fernando Vargas.
i wouldn't mind talking shit to Mayweather his reaction would either be stuttering with tears in his eyes, or just straight out crying :atu:
In the chaos, lost tempers & bravado of an actual street fight there's every chance a pro boxer separates an MMAist from their senses
I agree with most of ya, I wouldn't talk shit to a fighter face to face, but its funny how we do it behind a computer, and I'm sure if most were chattin with a fighter on the internet, you would talk tough, only cuz u kno he would never kno who u were... The only person I have face to face said something to, was Chris Arreola, and I told him he lost cuz he was a fatass... Thank God he took it as a joke...
I wouldn't. Personally I don't think most pro fighters would do anything if you did, they wouldn't want to get in trouble, and would probably laugh it off, talk some shit back etc. The main reason I wouldn't do it is I do have inate respect for almost all pro fighters, even ones I don't like.
I simply wouldn't talk to a fighter I didn't like,.. but still,.. boxing fans who make the sport possible,... are entitled to say whatever the fuck they want,.. we're getting screwed and tossed shit on a plate everyday,.. if we dont like something, we got every right to say so.
I agree with the above totally. I did Boo Gay Ray though and since I was the only one who did in the entire arena. We made eye contact and I booed even louder. I was 20 feet away from him. He looked confused like I must have been thinking it was another guy like the dude who played him in "In Living Color.":::: I don't get actually telling someone to their face shit you'd say online. I am polite anyway. I hate fans that talk about players Moms and various things because they hate their jersey. Booing is legit. What shit is there to talk to Gay Ray about. I just can't stand his phony ass. I can honestly say I never rooted for him. When it came down to it, I rooted for Camacho over Gay Ray.
It Happened PRIOR to when REED Started Hanging Out @ Curtis Cokes' Gym, but he's Gotten Bits & Pieces from Guys that were There Back Then... To NO ONE's Surprise, Ike was a PARANOID, LOOSE Cannon...He's SLAPPED Elderly Men Because he Thought they LOADED the Gloves of Guys he Sparred w/...Anyways, Kirk (who was Fairly NEW to the Gym @ the Time) Got the BETTER of Ike this Particular Day in Sparring & they KIDDINGLY Talked about it Afterwards...Or So Kirk THOUGHT... So Kirk's in the Shower & Out of Nowhere, Ike Decides to Try to BULLY Him Right Then & There for Talking Shit...VERY Awkward Situation for Kirk, but 1nce Ike Tried to Get Physical, Kirk had No Recourse but to Defend Himself...The "Altercation" Didn't Last Looooooong, but Kirk had Made it CLEAR to Ike that he WASN'T Scared of Him... REED:hammert:
I agree. When he comes on tv, people laugh. I mean it. They laugh. His being fat is only part of it. What annoys me is he is not a good fighter, period. I was telling Jaws that I think Vitali is almost shot. He should have dispatched wiht Arreola in 2 rounds. He lost to VK because he is not a good heavyweight, not because he is fat.If he were 220 or whaTEVER hbo CLAIMS would be a good weight, he would lose to Vitali again. I would be shocked if he beat any decent heavy even though they are few. I think Chambers would beat him most likely and Povetkin would or sure. I think even fighting a guy like Tua today would be a pick 'em.
He has a decent left hook, that's it. He pushes with his right hand like I imagine my mother would. Fighters like Chris Nipples cheapen boxing, especially when shown on the premium networks. Lazy, fat boxers with no skill to speak of should not be on television.
Especially HBO. He is easily the worst fighter HBO has ever trotted out as a contender. Seriously, Joe Mesi was a more legitimate hype job than this fat slob. He sucks. He is ugly. He is a moron who can't say a single sentence without saying "mother fucker, fuck, shit " or something else. HBO likes him because Mexicans pretend to love each other publicly. He is on tv because he is a at Mexican. No wonder boxing is in the shitter. I find it hard to believe there aren't more qualiied applicants for contender than this fat pig. Btw, for all the people that think Jaws and I have all the same opinions, you can shove that right up your poopers. Jaws loves Arreola. He also says he "can't believe" anyone could find him unlikeable.
