haha i love that pic

It is sort of a weird thing to say. But wouldn't we love it if all our fighters modelled themselves on the Ukranians?

I would. They are class acts.

But then it becomes a very boring atmosphere, you need your outlandish and loud characters to make it entertaining.

I dunno. Neither Saad Muhammad nor Yaqui Lopez were characters. But when they met? Fireworks. Same with Izzy and Raffy.

One or two fighters doesn't represent every single cocky guy.

But it isn't about being cocky. In the words of Ray Robinson (as cocky as anyone who ever walked) it is about being a GLADIATOR.

Well, one is the biggest name in the sport and the other is in the division that's made the sport.

...i agree totatly..nope we dont need loud and outlandish fighters that dont fight and its called to be entertaining..its called dragging the sport down to the wressling jim mcmann level..apeal to children and adults whos IQ is 60 or under...the K brothers are fighters in the ring against mostly the best oposition and class guys with dignity...the 2 champs i admire the most are picture together under my name..marciano and louis..2 highly confident fighters blessed with what i call humble confidence..both were extrtemly popular and likeable champions that talent and image wise did much to give boxing some dignity...marciano never bragged never downgraded or insulted a fighter and always gave credit to all the fighters he fought..a gentleman who respected ALL fighters..louis more or less was the same way..
marciano was insulted by walcott.if i cant beat that bum take my name out of the record books..or i got a fast count..to that rocky said ill be happy to give you a rematch..archie moore use the press non stop with his attacks..to walcott and moore when asked by the press whats his reply..rocky said i do my fighting in the ring not in the newspapers...louis and marciano had no problems getting asses in the seats for a fight..they entertained us all right..in the ring with devastating victories..the K brothers to a certain extent carry out that tradition..
it brings pleasure inside to this older long time fight fan..the other stuff diguss me..thats just me..i prefer dignity class humble true confidence over b lowhearts anyday.ill take 1 arguello over 1000 hayes or floyds anyday..

nah we defo need brash guys, these are the guys that can become superstars and household names, they sell ppvs and tickets, whether its too see him win or to see him lose. any publicity is good publicity, but yeh the thing is they need to get into the ring. the klit brothers are heavyweight champs, with phenomenal KO records and havent been seriously challangeed in years, yet are not household names, i could asky my granny to name a boxer, she would name ali, leonard, tyson, but would never have heard of wlad. partly because of boxing not being on mainstream tv, and partyl because he is boring as hell in the ring and out of it

What is it with the younger generation thinking that you have to be loud and obnoxious to be interesting? I am a fairly young man myself, but feel completely disconnected to that way of thinking. It translates into the garbage movies Hollywood is churning out.

I prefer dignified professionals who let their actions do the talking.

Yeah Allan Green gets in the ring. He just doesnt do anything when he gets there.

A huge +1. I am so against all that shit. I have benched starters on my basketball team for that stupid trash talking crap.
