What I meant by the purest sport is the sport itself, naturally is is the epitome of crookedness as far as fixed fights and its history with the mob as well as some horrible decisions. I was referring to the actual sport itself not its surroundings.

and if its an amateurish slug fest even better!

yeah, i'm still waiting for you to tell me which technical fight I said was boring.

Arpikarhu · 01-19-2005, 10:49 PM

you forgot to type: CITE YOUR SOURCES!!!!!

i am making those posts to illustrate your unsurpassed love for poorly fought slugfests rather than your hatred for good technical fights. you rave about shitty fights. anybody who loves those haymaker slugfests is no fan of boxing. you are a fan of fighting. big difference.

I know, I was just ruffling your feathers.

I take it that Arpi didnt enjoy any of the Gatti-Ward fights.

Nope, thats what he is basing his whole opinion on that I enjoyed them. I never said either was a great fighter or even championship caliber fighter but they gave all they had and always gave everything in every fight no matter what their skill levels were. Thats what i respect and i respect them more than a floyd mayweather who says 8 million a fight is "slave wages", though naturally it's not even a question that technically Mayweather blows gatti and ward outta the water.

I am still waiting for him to point out where I said I find technically fought matches to be boring, ofcourse he is gonna keep ducking the question as he always does.

Keyser Soze · 01-20-2005, 06:29 PM

i dont give a fuck what anyone thinks, Gatti/Ward were some of the best fights I ever saw.

GonzoStyle · 01-20-2005, 06:32 PM

I bet arpi would have been pissed when I praised Ivan Robinson back in the day for his determination.

Galt · 01-20-2005, 06:36 PM

being a fan of "technical" boxing rather than slugfests like Gatti-Ward are like NASCAR fan who think that crashes distract people from the real genius of the sport.

GonzoStyle · 01-20-2005, 06:38 PM

I agree with him that there are different types of fights and some people hate the technical bouts which I love but I also love the all out brawls. By arpi's standards Hagler Vs. Hearns must be the worst fight ever.

Rooner · 01-20-2005, 07:37 PM

I was just about to compare the Gatti/Ward fights to our generations Hagler/Hearns or Leonard/Hearns. They are the epitome of what boxing is. Each man giving and taking the best the other fighter has to offer and coming back for more. If half the fighters today had HALF the heart of those two guys, boxing would be a much more entertaining sport to watch.

Galt · 01-20-2005, 08:01 PM

it's funny becuase you're 5' tall and talking about fighting. Do you own an SUV too?

Its not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog Galty. Im sure every guys ass that I whooped thought the same thing. No, I drive a piece of shit escort. My Napoleon complex is kept strictly to what I say, I dont have inadequecy issues. Im happy with my height and my penis size so Im just fine.

In style yes but neither gatti, ward or even hearns could hold Haglers jock. I still say Hagler beat Ray Leonard.
