    Default Gerald McClellan..

    We have all watched the fight, the documentaries and the reviews.

    Terrible trainer, bad referee, departure of Manny Steward, warrior spirit of Benn..

    What would you put down as the main reason for what happened to Gerald on that night?

    How great could he have been?

    Did you like him?

    168 or 175 future P4P boxer?

    Roy jones buddy and future opponent?

    Discuss.

    I am convinced that G Man was damaged in his first fight with Julian Jackson who was battering him for 3 rounds and we all know how hard he hits. Gerald was complaining of headaches in the interview after the fight.

    G Man loved his power which meant he did not refine his boxing skills as much as he should have and he could have won a decision against Benn if he used his jab.

    As such G Man would not have received the heights of Roy Jones and become a light heavyweight champion.

    People harsh on G Man because he openly admitted to engaging in dog fighting.

    dog fighting is horrible

    yet millions of people around the world that openly condemn it, all of who will gladly wake up to a bacon butty, meat that comes from a pig that has had atrocious living conditions through out a short horrendous life

    and the pig lives and dies like this in its millions and millions, yet the dog fight claims lives in the hundreds every year

    McClellan was a fighter...he wasn't a boxer he was a fighter. He fell in love with his power, he didn't believe in hit and don't get hit, he would just wade into somebody and figured they couldn't take what he could dish out. He was similar to Arturo Gatti in that sense, but when Gatti got to a certain point in his career he decided to learn to BOX.....G-Man just got brain damage before that epiphany struck him.



    Would he have posed a problem to RJJ? Eh....doubtful, I think power vs power they were on par with each other but RJJ could BOX he could stick and move whereas G-Man just stuck. RJJ would have boxed Gerald's ears off.



    As for the Benn fight, how Benn was allowed to continue through the first was horrible, and how Gerald was allowed to continue later on was horrible

    yes exactly

    and fox hunting

    fox hunting kills 100 foxes a year, all foxes who have had a free and normal life up until their death, compare that life to the vast majority of the millions and millions of cows bread for meat

    and all these people will eat half a beef butty and throw the rest coz they don't fancy it, and never bat an eye lid, but the some one mentions fox hunting, theyre raging about the cruelty

    It's pathetic.

    Then you have the vegetarian that still wears leather?!

    Dog fighting is wrong but it's a grain of sand compared to everything else.

    Bull fighting is wrong, dog fighting is wrong, cock fighting is wrong and it's wrong to so distance yourself from where your food comes from that you don't care how the animals are treated during their life spans.

    I don't know what the fuck to think of fox hunting...it's class symbolism is my best guess as to why it is so loathed. Also why hunt something you're not going to make use of? You won't be using a hide after the dogs have done your dirty work for you.


    Eating dogs & cats is wrong too, but in China and other Asian nations they breed those animals just for that. I think that's just as wrong especially when you hear about how they are cooked.



    For the folks who have the nerve to bitch about real hunting after all of that....that takes some nerve. A deer leads a happy life and then boom he's taken out with 1 shot vs being hit by a car and severely injured, vs being eaten ALIVE by a brown bear, vs dying of chronic wasting disease.....a gun shot or properly placed arrow is a blessing because Mother Nature is fucking cruel and harsh and there's no getting around it.

    If a dog or cat taste like roast lamb then I would be a fan.

    Foxes in London are a pest so culling is not that bad of an idea...

    They don't know that plants "feel pain" too?

    Plants respond to stimuli in their environment, they turn towards the sun, they can close on a fly, they can climb up a trellis....they change their flavor to make them less palatable to bugs/animals which might like to eat them.
