Inconsistent Views

[marbleheadmaui]

I absolutely love some good quality trash-talk & generally I've got no limits on what is acceptable to say before you get in the ring with an opponent. However, I'm probably inconsistent in that, while I don't mind a guy bending the rules, flat out intentionally breaking them disgusts me. Considering I have no rules on the social conventions by which boxers should address each other I'd say that's inconsistent.

The best example off the top of my head is Zab Judah. I have no issue with how he talks up what he'll do pre-fight, but his intentional cheating when he was about to get stopped against Mayweather & how he 'took advantage' of the cut against Clottey truly disgusted me & I was delighted to see him lose on both occasions although not by the TKO it deserved to be.

Yup. That qualifies!
