It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Got a little bit heated at the weigh in.

Re: Ben Whittaker
I've seen some hate for Ben on social media because of his antics.
I don't know why. I actually like the guy. He's good enough to pull off some of those things, and it's not like he's fouling or anything. Saw one fight where the ref was doing everything possible to stop Ben from expressing himself, mostly within the rules.
Anyway... no telling just how good he can actually be, as it's still a little early in his career. I wish him well, though.

Re: Ben Whittaker
There is a lot of hate for Ben but he really is humble and very sensible.
Yes he has a long way to go but hating someone for expressing themselves and trying to entertain should not be criticised.

Hate is a strong word and anyone who hates a pro boxer for nearly whatever reason is a wanker.Originally Posted by Master
But I have a problem with “trying to entertain.” Some of his antics aren’t entertaining.
If I watch a boxing match , I want to be entertained by their Boxing .
And if “fans” are happy to watch him showboat rather than someone getting on with the business of winning the fight, then they’re more into the show than the sport.
The other thing is that he got tagged on the chin plenty in his last fight while he was fucking about. The positive side of that is that it looks like he has a decent chin.
But he doesn’t want to be showing that too much.

Nobody hates anybody. Boxing fans have been using the word "hate" since prehistoric times. "Dislike" is longer and takes longer to type.
In real life, we hate someone who hurts our family. We hate someone who does unspeakable crimes. We hate someone who preys on the weak, old, and helpless.
But nobody hates boxers.
Carry on.
