I'm not one to just give my support to someone simply because they try.....that got us to where we are today when everyone no matter how shit at whatever sport they are gets a trophy...this idea of respect without proving yourself means you only have to acheive the lowest rung on the ladder to get respect.

Sure I respect the job of "prize fighter" fighting for a living isn't for everyone and not everyone gets the same amount of respect or even a similar type of respect.

I have sparred with some local fighters and I respect them but I don't hold them as in high a regard as the top teir fighters.


Sometimes you need to hate a fighter....for example Floyd Mayweather Jr....I despise him, but I am also in awe of his skill.




And there will always be armchair quarterbacks....I realize it's harder to do than it is to just think up the strategy
