Who is the chaviest boxer today?
A chav is a term that is used in the United Kingdom to describe a stereotype of young adults from an underclass background. They often don designer sportswear and brand names. Many chavs often wear a full tracksuit or tracksuit bottoms, with a hoodie or polyester jacket, baseball cap and over sized trainers.
Well he's not British but Vernon Paris is kind of Chav-like.
It's difficult because a Boxer like any other athelete has a pretty good excuse for always wearing a tracksuit:-)
Is Tyson Fury and his crew considered chavvy or is he just considered a straight-up gypo?
I am usually quite tolerant and understanding of people's different backgrounds and upbringings but at the Fury-Mcdermott fight his family/friends were acting like complete and utter scumbags. They even threw something into the ring while their man was getting his ass whooped. Security were too shit scared to remove them..
I'm trying to think of others..I'm sure there are absolutely loads as most boxers come from that kind of background..and being that I'm in the middle of East London/Essex, I'm quite shocked I can't think of any..
Paulie Maligianni...still.
Bingo !Quote:

How brilliant would that be though; to have the BBC do a documentary on gypsys or another sub human populus in the style of Planet earth :D
Thankyou for explaining what a CHAV is.
its amaizing how classist we can all still be. I'd love to know who invented this word 'chav'?

Are the 3 men involved in this video Chavs ?
Seem to fit your description. Even the "good guy" one.
Its been a word (charva) used to describe a certain type of scumbug in newcastle for at least the 25 years I've been alive. Since about 2004 some southern twats in the media bastardised it as 'chav' (charv is short for charva... 'chava' sounds retarded) and it's spread.Quote:

Working class people are were they are because of situation... Charvs are where they are because they are lazy, self serving, ignorant individuals with a massive sense of entitlement and no work ethic - which is why you will not find a single charva make it to a high level in boxing.
Charvas don't have what it takes to hold a part time job down... How are they gonna box?
Hulk that guy has a track suit. Doesn't make him a charva. The guys bickering and slapping his girl could wear armarni suitsn they'd still be charvas
I guess mostboxers from Brooklyn then...
Most boxer's wear track suits, my son's just been for a run in a track suit hardly a Chav are we
stereotyping people for there dress. :confused:
Look at Adam GB definition, running is too hard work for a chav, they would never do that.Quote:

The track suit threw me off as I thought it a crucial component of the "chav".
Basically its simple, Chav is what we in America call white trash.
It is easier to watch chavs in action than to bicker about a description of them..here's my favourite example of a chav for all of your enjoyment and education on the topic
