That Bum. I think his name is Duddy

[El Kabong]

We want a fighter who is good enough to beat up his opponents when fighting stupid and smart enough to know when that won't work.

Now that I mention it. Cotto fits this description quite well.

Well you can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one gets filled first.



That completely narrows your being a true fan of boxing. I am not saying you love a fighter like Duddy or Wlad but you cannot hate the extremes of boxing it's impossible to do. You either dislike the sweet science part of it or you dislike the brawlers.

If you don't accept one or the other and appreciate it then you've just become a fan of very few boxers and a hater of quite a few boxers

Well that's a great statement... I mean, look, I'm not troleing ESPN Classic for old Whitaker fights but I respect what he did and think he was a fantastic boxer... I appreciate his skills.

Boxing and Brawling is the yin and yang of boxing... I don't think there would be one without the other. They ofset eachother.

I totally agree Pride of Boston...my all-time favorite boxers are an ecclectic group of pure boxers like Willie Pep and pure punchers like a young George Foreman and everyone in between.

If you cannot appreciate a boxer and you cannot appreciate a brawler then you leave yourself very little in boxing to cheer for and lots to bitch about and frankly I am fucking tired of all the bitching

LOL, as am I. Look, there's a shiteload wrong with the sport... But thank the lord there's more things good about if. Hell, if there wasn't would we even be here?

[El Kabong]

True and the guys who thumb their noses at fighters like Duddy are no better than the shitheads out there who don't know anything about boxing other than "Mike Tyson's Punch Out"

I guess we all start somewhere... Even if it happens to be being raked over the coals by members of a forum

[El Kabong]

Yeah.....and everyone can see Duddy needs better defense, I am not defending that but what boxer ISN'T a bum to some of the members here

"Floyd is a bum, Taylor is a bum, Lacy is a bum, Wlad is a bum, _____ is a bum."

I guess Ali is the only guy you can NEVER say anything negative about or else you get called a racist


It just gets old....people always talking about who is a bum and not who did well or fought with heart or followed a strategy well or whatever....it's crap

as i'm reading the post i see a bunch of fanboys calling me an idoit for my statement but not to many reasons to back up why i'm an idiot.

You guys might like watching him but he look like shit to me. If you don't like it tough.

Your a waste of time thats why. Your really disrespectful using the term bum, thats why you got bad rep from me and thats why I think your a douchebag. I dont have to explain why I am a fan of any boxer, but I will because it's easy with Duddy. For one he is always respectful unlike you. You never hear him talking trash before a fight or after and he fights to please the fans, which is refreshing in todays money matters most society. He is always in exciting fights, you cant deny that, you can argue that he may have lost but you can't deny the action packed fight. He's got a solid chin and heart to match. I don't always like the perfect boxers like everyone else, I like guys that have flaws but rise above them to win, and thats what real warriors do. Is that good enough for you? Seriously why all the Duddy hate? Dont hate appreciate.

I think it was obvious that when I said "We" I was generalizing and when I described "What we want..." I meant in an Ideal world. Not in the real one. In other words I was being sarcastic...

I understand your point but you really need to sit back an chill for a while. I think this is the very first time someone in this forum has insinuated that I might be a hater...

Well not appreciating what Duddy had to go through to win is pretty shitty. Sure he shouldn't have had as much trouble with this guy as he did but that does add drama to the fight.

Duddy has a lot he needs to work on but the kid has heart and he actually FIGHTS he doesn't box, he doesn't use any sweet science....he's a blood and guts brawler a la Arturo Gatti.

he's not Ray Robinson but his style doesn't make it fair to call him a BUM
