Don't know if any of you have been following Mayweather, but he seems to be the man to watch.

Haven't been able to. The only sports channel availible where I live is Eurosport, and they don't show any of the fun fights. :-(

Yea baby! ;-)

Fighting with your hands should be encouraged in todays world! Hell, too many people finding other ways of settling disputes today, mostly deadly. Back in the day, if you had a terminal grudge with someone, you'd hit each other till one gave up, like MEN. Today? Drive by shootings, stabbings, etc. I say go back to fighting. The loser worst case has a hurt ego and a few bruises. big deal.

Back in the day, we fought with rules. Nobody cares about sportsmanship anymore.

Using your tounge is something you do in an arguement about who's turn it is to take out the garbage, not terminal grudges! ;-)

We tried to get gangs to adopt an alternative to killing when we started glamorising "Breakdancing"... it didn't work. if they're going to fight, we can at least instill some sportsmanship into it.

Anyways, my toungue is in my cheeck ;-)

ricky hatton would knock 2 shades of {bleep} ut of him

Agreed! Fighting with one's hands might seem primitive, but IMHO it's far more civilized than any war.

The boxer rebellion was a war that was done mostly using the fist, since the chinese citizens did not have weapons. It wasn't less vicious, though.

Becuase it was a war. War won't ever become civilized.
Two people settling their differences using their bare hands is always better than two armies going at eachother, no matter what weapons they're using.
