Cowards in Boxing

[Giancarlo]

I wonder who this mystery coward can be?

Maybe its one of the old timers like Dempsey who refused to fight black men?

Mmm, could well be be.

Didn't Jack also skip WW1?

And we know The Duchess has strong views on draft dodgers.

Anyway, all we know for certain is that not even a retarded fantasist would put Ali in the mix.

[Controversial]

Didn't Jack also skip WW1?

So Dempsey refused to fight black men and was also a draft dodger. That sounds quite cowardly to me, must be him. Surely?

EDIT: Dempsey was a women beater too wasn't he?

Full of 'Ali Garbage Pickers'

Funny thing is, it's still too good for a lying racist twat like you.

That's why they banned you.

[BoxBuzz]

Glad you included your own badge of honor story within the parameter of "courageous"

You ol' Medi Vac pilot you! Thank you for your service! If indeed you ever witnessed such things.

On the other hand, even a half witted pseudo journalist with the "courage" of their convictions would be able to say these words. "I harbor some deep bias and resentment against this man for the following reasons:

And then simply list their reasons.

I know someone who flatly denies all bias when directly asked. Yet this same person offers up a veritable plethora of chronic comments and insinuations that appear to belie this. Surely anyone able to pass the "foggy mirror test" and capable of utilizing the "preponderance of evidence" measure.... would quickly ascertain this so called "reporter" or wanna be "journalist's" transparently duplicitous ways.

A person such as this, could be considered "lacking in courage".

Well it's only a guess but we know it couldn't possibly be Ali.

Of course, The Duchess may well be privy to top secret info that clears Jack. A bit like those city records he has on Denver that he can't post as he has to protect his source.

How about ex champ Kid McCoy who shot his wife dead? That's a pretty cowardly act. Could this be our secret coward?

Il....may I call you ill?

Ok..just kidding about the "ill"

I can certainly be wrong. And it is within possibility that I am indeed wrong.....In which case, I

have treated you unkindly, and made rash and harsh assumptions.

Is this what has happened?

IF so...Surely you will have the capacity to recognize how I might have gotten the wrong impression.

and if you are wise and fair, you will of course forgive....and proceed with your sharing.

Once convinced of my error, I will attempt to atone for my over reaching statements. I would even

offer up an apology if the situation requires one.

Can you suggest for me, an appropriate remedial course of action?

[BoxBuzz]

Yes,

You must watch a Pia Zadora Concert........

Both Matinee and Evening Shows, and do a book report on sitting through 'Pain'.

I will of course consider this, as I do most of your contributions.

Harmless, fanciful banter.

Do you wear a cravat perchance?

Cowards in Boxing

More than just 'fighting in the ring', as that takes courage, but not necessarily brains.

Not to say that intelligent men have not stepped into the Ring, as many were sharp minded.

But, does anyone come to mind as a 'coward', or behaved in a 'cowardly manner'.

A person who lacks courage when facing danger or difficulty, not neccessarly in the Boxing Ring,
but being fearful and/or acting cowardly because of avoiding a commitment, duty or honor.

A person who would show mental weakness, as being ineffectual 'milksop'.

I personally view a coward in a sport as being some one who continues to
fowl and break the rules while knowingly doing so while intentionally harming
their opponent outside the rules in place agreed upon by all parties,

To me this is cowardice.

Then again I view John L Sullivan rocking up to a fight drunk and then
not fighting as being both cowardly and arrogantly disrespectful.

Mr. Robinson

Good analysis.

A fighter who intentionally fouls, with repeated 'illegal tactics' would be considered 'a coward'.

Muhammad Ali did use 'over' 213 holds, and '147' Fouls, and '51' illegal cuffs against Joe Frazier in
their 2nd-Bout.

Including an intentional attempt to thumb Joe in the eye, and a knee-to-the-groin.

I'll bet you gave a knee to the groin or two trying to defend yourself when the neighborhood girls were stealing your lunch money... In fact I bet you were even able to deter one or two.

Did Ilduchebag take a lot out of himself in the bathroom this morning?.... not enough judging by this thread!...

[Ezzard]

I sit at a screen watching boxing...or typing about boxers and boxing...

I nominate myself.

I think yure too harsh on yourself, some of us are born to write, some of us are born to fight... wanting to write about it rather than do it doesn't make you a coward. The real cowards are the people who sit behind a pc and denigrate certain fighters when they have never so much as spat in a bucket themselves. They know who they are.

I think Il Manichino spat in a bucket or two but what he spat out is not what you think.

Does not everyone?

That One and his 'oral fixation'

Not sure why he likes to talk about these things, instead of boxing.

Maybe because you bring out the 'best' in people.

Don't forget to mouthwash and brush afterward.
