I think it would be great to have a gay boxer mincing around at a press conference with Mayorga. He could be topless with his nipples painted blue and strutting around with a pink feather boa. The gay that is, not Mayorga. Meanwhile Mayorga would be beating on his chest with his arms like king kong, shouting "fuck you, creepy, gay, homo, gypsy girl.....you have sex with Oscar Delahoya! Raaaaghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!". Etc.
Erm....hours of fun there. :rolleyes:
IOn all seriousness I think their only problem would be securing fights...For some reason even to thins day there is a phobia about Gay males and the fact that every gay man wants to bang every man they see so any contact means it is a sexual advance....
Skill wise there is no difference either they can fight or they can't just like anyone else...If they were not better then average though it would be a social disaster
I can just see Michael Buffer minutes before the fight announcing....
"Lets get ready for Bumhole" ...!!!!!!
If i were a fighter and i managed to lose to a sausage jockey i swear i'd have to take my own life.
Wasn't Alan Mincer a merchant of the backdoor? :confused:
Holyfield is one of the few boxers to ever still be mentioned on sportscenter or other sports shows, him coming out would be news, its absurd to argue otherwise.
The worst thing possible for boxing would be Holyfield getting permanently injured or worse in a fight. That seems besides the point but the point is that's because he's still one of boxing's few big names.
Wasn't Emille Griffith a closet homosexual?
I actually think it will play LESS on boxing boards if Holyfield came out gay, then in the actual media..Quote:

I agree that Laila Ali announcing she was a lesbian would certainly get into the media but this has nothing to do with the fact that she's a boxer but rather everything to do with who her dad was.
And even with Laila Ali, you are completely, utterly and hopelessly cluelessly wrong if you think Laila announcing herself a lesbian would gain more press attention that Holyfield announcing he is gay.
It'll play on boxing boards,but it would barely be a hiccup on a mainstream news board like Yahoo
If you ask a random person, that isn't a boxing fan, which is a huge majority of sports fans, to name 10 boxers.. i bet holyfield will be in there. Everyone knows Holy.. If Holy vs Tyson happened, the general public would be like OMG TYSON VS HOLYFIELD.. It's safe to say that people on this board would probably careless if that fight happened.

The movie - documantary driven by Griffith himself "Ring of Fire," deals with this....
Check it out:
Ring Of Fire: The Emile Griffith Story DVD
lol
The world wouldn't care if Holyfield came out the closet? ;D TM you are different gravy mate.
Last year, on a European tour, to promote his book, Holyfield spent a week in Britain. He was on every major radio station, in every newspaper and did loads of TV appearances - sport and non-sport related.
He's done shows like "dancing with the stars" in America and Britain. The man is a star way beyond boxing.
Evander Holyfield is an iron would be headline news all over the world. Fact.
How about Trenton Titsworth? ;D
Seriously, any openly gay boxer would have to have some balls to be public about it, I think most would have to respect that. If he was good nobody would want to fight him though in fear of losing to a gay guy. Emile Griffith is one of my favorite boxers though if he was a openly gay black man in the 60s hed probably be a brave and dead guy.
Didn't bother going through the thread as I'm sure theirs a couple of Paulie jokes, along with a JMM joke and possibly a SSM.Quote:

The ATG and living legend Emile Griffith was gay.
World Welteweight champ
WBC & WBA Welterweight champ (2 time champ)
World Light Middleweight champ (Recog. by 1 org.)
WBC & WBA Middleweight champ (2 time champ)
Fought the likes of "Kid Paret" (RIP), Ortega, Dupas, Moyer, Wright, Fernandez, Rodriguez, Carter, Curvis, Gonzalez, Tiger, Archer, Benvenutti, Napoles, Monzon, Mundine, Licata, Briscoe, Antuofurmo, Hamani, Minter. (losing to some of them)
So how can a gay boxer do... Well there it is.
Id happily admit to rather getting my ass kicked by a girl than letting a gay fella beat me up.
You`d spend the whole fight worrying whether he is actually getting aroused with every clinch!!!
Sounds gay enough.Quote:
