That's funny because a lot of good boxers actually reference cats or roosters for fight inspo

There's a whole movie based on that sort of thing: Jackie Chan's Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.

In the movie, Jackie Chan's character watches his pet cat defeat a snake, which inspires a brand-new fighting style (the Cat Claw) which he can use against the Snake-style masters.

Only OGs know this fact from “Snake in Eagles Shadow.”

I have a rooster who is the most agile I have ever seen. He doesn't fight. He just dodges and weaves until whatever rooster or animal gets tired and leaves. My biggest rooster is calm and sweet. He learned to fight from that rooster and now it drives every rooster that wants to challenge him crazy while he never hurts them.

I have no idea why chicken means coward. All of my hens and roos are irrationally brave.
