Well, here's the thing:Calling Klitschko a scumbag just shows your outright hatred for him as a human being.I really dont see your rational behind it because he is one of the most generous persons ever to lace up the gloves.To call him names is just showing your ignorance as to who he really is.![]()
I don't hate anyone. That's a very strong term to use and requires a ton of emotional energy to muster. I respect Vitali's athletic/boxing abilities. Although he does look strange when boxing, he gets the job done on most occasions. I would think that someone as intelligent as him should be a bit above all of the trappings of the dark side of the sport; apparently, that isn't the case, as evidenced by this recent news about his comeback.
Although I like and respect the skills of James Toney as boxer, I don't have much use for him as an individual. He's a perfect example of an ignorant scumbag. That being said, I think it's appropriate to call not only the W.B.C. on this B.S., but to also call the individual that's benefiting from the B.S. I completely understand his motivation for coming back to boxing and think that it's a good thing for the division. However, his return could have come about in a laudable manner instead of being a bit overshadowed with all the controversy. It's an unfortunate situation for all parties concerned.
At this point, I really don't care what happens anymore. Being an idealist and trying to apply standards to such a corrupt and integrity devoid sport is moronic, and I'm totally at fault for that.
I guess the best thing to do is to hope for the best but expect the worst.I think that will save me allot of wasted time obsessing about things that I can't control. It's also important for me to keep things in perspective and just sit back and watch a good fight without attempting to apply standards in a classical sense to a sport which doesn't seem to have any.
Once again, I don't hate either of the Klitschko brothers. But when I first read your initial post on this topic with the link, much of the stock I had for Vitali as an individual, i.e. character, plummeted faster than the value of Enron. Then again, that's just me.![]()
