Which boxers hate boxing?

[tuckwopat]

Just to counter the other "who loves the sport" thread, who boxes and truly seems to dislike what they do.

I'll go ahead and throw out two obvious ones, Andrew Golota and the now retired Mike Tyson.

I would have to say that this is a love hate relationship.
How can anyone love this crooked azz sport, except those who are getting rich in the process?

All he does is run.

hitting + not getting hit back = boxing

[Wacko3205]

Floyd Mayweather Jr.
All he does is run.

hitting + not getting hit back = boxing

Well said.

Now...all ass smootchin aside...I honestly believe that Floyd pretty much dislikes what he does now...I think that he's become a bit disenchanted with the sport in general & everything that everyone says regarding him performances.

Mike Tyson hates boxing...hell...Mike hates everything.

dead on, cc back........... i think floyd wants the respect that he feels that he deserves.
when you shut out the linear welterweight champ (who probably could easily be fighting at 154-160) and the guy lands like 12% of his punches and all you get is criticism in return, it may sour him on the sport that hes devoted his ENTIRE life to and mastered


like when he fought gatti.........

so many people were talking about gattis power, chin, heart, etc. etc. before the fight, and floyd made him look so bad that the same people who were taking gatti in the fight turned around and said "well thats just gatti, he was never very good"


its gotta be infuriating

Flurries and not backing out = entertaining boxing

Flurries and not backing out = entertaining boxing

very true.

but that doesnt necessarily make a good boxer.

kinda like baseball..............

who is better?

the guy who has a batting average of .365 and hits 29 homeruns a year?

or the guy who hits .268 and knocks out 40 homeruns a year?
