Not quite as serious, but Barry Fererson or Aldridge ruffling opponents heads after a mistake that lead to conceding a vital goal, I can take bad losers, but bad winners really are horrible


Completely and absolutely spot on that mate , if I could rep you'd get loads. I despise bad winners , I can empathise with the effect disappointment has so can understand that reaction a little more but bad winners are so infuriating. Compare their reaction to the genuine reaction of flintoff to Brett lee or the mutual respect shown at the end of almost every boxing match.
 

There are loads of rumours , if you look at Cotto's face I think it's obviously now and there is no way margarito couldn't now , if anyone has had their hands taped up you'd know if it'd had 'plaster' there. Margarito and a mate (I think) posted a video of them shaking their hands like they were trembling , roach has his faults but to mock a Parkinson's.

The pre-fight hype stuff is interesting as I think a lot of boxing fans ignore it but the public do lap it up, Look at the take up for fights with hype . Tony bellew got a shot not just on his record because of his behaviour at the press-conference so you could argue it works but the cheap stuff you refer to is often a bit tasteless. All that said I might not like the meaningless trash talk but I won't lie I do like a bit or underlying niggle.

As regards the 'worst sporting behaviour' , if you take it out the ring those running & promoting boxing Throughout history would take some beating as top fighters had to 'throw' fights to earn a shot or get left out in the title shake-up .

I think they pour a kind of serum onto the bandages sheeds and it hardens over a bit of time. Like you said should be a life ban. No second chances where people's lives are at stake. I really liked Margarito early on too.

I love a bit of aggro or two boxers who don't like each other but it's OTT now. Hatton vs Mayweather was about as far as I think it should go personally.

I'm not sure of exactly what was done to the wraps but I just can't believe you wouldn't know , it just wouldn't 'feel right' , whether initially or over time. You'd certainly know in my opinion.

I can be a bad loser myself mate, so when I see someone being a tit in a post match interview I can let that sort of thing slide, but it takes a special kind of bellend to show no empathy at all in victory, Flintoff being a great example of the opposite

Undoubted. You'd feel it when you hit. You also know what your packing punch wise. He knows he couldn't do that to Cotto legit.
