Doug Fischer: "A LOT LESS African-American WARRIORS today than 25 years ago"

[The Big Dunn]

Wow.

Daffy was lying, though... he can do it over and over.

LOL! You know what I mean.

[THE REED]

LOL! You know what I mean.

Oh nO! Dunn!

I must be technically accurate like you.

It's a poor example, Daffy can't die.


Muahahahahhaaha.

[brick wall]

As a boxing fan, I would fully understand the sport, understand what fighters go through during training and in the ring... and I would respect a fighters mental fortitude to come up with a gameplan to win the fight better than his opponent.

I would understand the sport itself.

I don't need rock em sock em robots to appreciate the sport or to be entertained by it.

Not all fights need to be Ward-Gatti to be entertaining, and I'm happy they aren't.

as i've said it's a physical sport. these things you're saying are considerations that anybody should think before he makes that decision to be a fighter. there's a risk involved...the moment you decide to be a fighter that means you are willing to take the risk. gameplan and fighting style has nothing to do with i'm trying to say. it's the attitude of some of these fighters. they want to take the money but they are not willing to give back (entertain) to the fans. as a boxing fan that doesn't bode well to me.

Doug Fisher wrote the article because of Floyd Mayweather. The warrior mentality in boxers of any color will never disappear... Just look at Fisher lol...look at him lol! He's just a boxing fan who wants to see PAc-Floyd lol...

Muahahahahhaaha.

Thats funny dude!

Its only the moral of the story: You can go to great lengths to please the crowd but there is always a cost to you as an individual. Its friday. I just didn't want to have to think about how bad Ali and Meldrick Taylor are.

[tredh]

boxing is the game of the pawns not kings and fighters are supposed to fight to please the crowd. it's a physical sport and a lot of risk is involved. the risk comes with the decision to fight, you live with it and not try to avoid it. if you don't like to take the risk don't go into boxing, play golf instead...the sport of business minded people.

Fighters are supposed fight to win FIRST!!!!!!! Enteraining the crowd is a distant second. Competition is about winning all that other **** don't matter in the end if you don't win.

The world is being dumbed down and nothing but sheep are being created. I guess soon all boxing matches will need to fought in a telephone booth if people going along with the line of thinking that many people are having.

What makes a thinking fighter that applies the sweet science in boxing so boring now a days but so respected back in the days?

Give a specific example.

I think they don't want to risk dementia, alzheimers and death more than they already do. How do you ask someone to risk their long term health when they already are risking the short term health just to be entertained?

That is pretty weak, I don't think there are that many safty first African American fighter.

I don't get why he is comparing Mayweather and Jones to Muhammed and Frazier. Both Floyd and Roy were basically on the Sugar Ray Leonard model, people don't get that Sugar Ray got lucky in a sence he came along in a golden generation, if Floyd or Jones had great competition (not very good) out there when they were young bucks they would likely be remembered differently.

It is all about personality though, it is not like Mike Tyson didn't come after Sugar Ray~

Don't put Joy and Roy in the same league of opposition.

Roy fought Toney and Hopkins.Both are trully great fighters.

Floyd an old Mosley and Castillo.

Word is bond tredh. its the silly mentality that Larry merchant discussed when he called floyd the artful dodger. The old guard who covers this sport only respects that bull****. they can't accept change.
