Trash Talking is beginning to Wear Thin IMO

Its a massive part of boxing.. either you do understand or should understand a boxers ego is a massive thing.. ESPECIALLY .. a world class boxer.. you see the guys not only are the best and tough as hell.. but with all the reputation and hype they get its almost impossible not to have this attitude about you..
You almost need to act in a certain way and be of a certain mindset especially when you know a fight is coming up.. because its all business and your head has to be there, you have to have disdain for your opponent and want to hurt them, and take them out.

Plus frankly mayorga is the king ..Lol His are just insults.. No self flattery..

He just wants fathers day cards and to talk about your mother and your family.. Lol

Toney is also pretty special.. They are like comedians.. They are either just brilliant at coming up with stuff on the spot or they actually write some of this stuff cos what they come out with is GOLD.. Lol.. I wouldnt be suprised if toney sat at home chuffing a cigar writing out his post fight interviews

The trash talking doesn't bother me so much if it's backed up for two reasons. First it's usually funny and second it's even funnier when the person or team can't back up what they say. It's just like the people who cry about celebrations in the NFL. If you hate the TD celebrations then don't let them score, there is an easy way to shut up floyd......beat him. Yea it' looks like floyds gonna be talking for a long while. It's amazing how much people hate showboating trash talking but the people that hate it the most always are the ones to bring it up. Reminds me of how much people hated T.O. yet they followed him around waiting for him to do something so they could report how much they hated it. Hate trash talking...don't listen to it. If no one reacted to these peoples crap they wouldn't do it, but everytime floyd talks he knows we'll be here talking about it (us in general) once again the people that hate him most make him the most popular.

Yeah agree with most people trash talking is all part of the event and i would be dissapointed if the fighters didn't do it before hand. Tyson has got to be my fav just becuase of the daft stuff he has come out with:

" I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicous and most ruthless champions there's ever been. There's no one who can stop me. Lennox is conquerer?NO Im Alexander! He's no alexander! I;m the best ever. There's never been anybody as ruthless. I'm Sonny Liston, I'm jack Dempsey. There's no one like me........ theres no one that can match me! My style is impetuous, my defence is impregnable, and I'm frecious! I want your heart, I want to eat his children.Praise be to Allah!"

that will go down in history as a classic as far as im concerned.

It fepends on who is doing it...for some guys like Mayweather, Briggs it is annoying...why?...they are not good at it....Their trash talk sound more like self praise......Guys like Mayorga, Toney, I love their trash talk because it is not about how great they are but the fight itself....

I like a mix between self praise and trash talk. Ali and Tyson both mastered that, and as such, raised a shit load of money for each of their fights ( though having amazing skills didn't hurt )

One of my favorites is the Tyson-Ruddock interview, featuring such classics as: " How dare you talk to me like that, you should kneel before me now and I'll spare you on the night of the 28th " and " I can't wait till the 28th, I'm gonna make you my girlfriend. " and my personal favorite: " You're sweet, you make sure you kiss me good with those big lips. "

Now, THAT is how you talk shit and raise money for a fight.
