So is this guy more of a douche than FM? I don't follow boxing much anymore because of antics like these. I just got finished watching a video Ali do a joke on some elementary school kids. Looking at today's crop Ali was pure 100% class even when he was talking trash to his opponents. Boxing has devolved into the gutter.
I don't disagree with your statement that boxing has evolved into a joke.
I loved boxing in the past, and at one time hated the ground Ali walked on because of some of his personal beliefs and actions.
But, all of his posturing, and bravado is for a purpose just like Conor.
You can't go into the ring thinking your just OK. You go into the ring KNOWING your the best, and keeping that mindset can make you a better fighter. You have to personally beat that theory into your head long enough to actually believe it. Wins reinforce that belief and make you better.
Thats my theory, and I'm sticking with it!
