"I'll never understand why people are automatically labeled "haters" if they thought a particular fighter just didnt look all that impressive in a fight and posts that opinion; but I even more dont understand why were labeled "nughugger" for appreciating the talent displayed in the ring during a fight! As a fan of boxing, naturally I prefer to see a fight that impresses me in some fashion, and then I might want to post about it. Doing that does not make me a nuthugger. That is a gross word; a sterotype that just doesnt seem accurate when it comes to boxing fan's appreciating a good fighter??

How much praise is "ok" for a fan; and when does it cross the line into "nuthugging" anyway. And who get's to decide such a thing anyway?? It's just stupid really."


This is an interesting point that needs to be discussed in a separate thread.

My take on it is that this is just a new lingo, which Tracy defined precisely:

"Hater" is a poster that thinks that a particular fighter sucks.

"Nuthugger" is a talent-appreciating poster.

It seems sad that there is nothing negative about it anymore, having heard it so many times now.

The funny thing is that this classification misses other types of posters.

Haters and Nuthuggers, but not Hobbittes.

A person who doesn't have anything of substance to back up their opinion will quickly call someone who disagrees with them a "Hater."

It's terrible cliche. It's the equivalent of calling a woman that word that rhymes with witch; it requires no imagination and shows how limited the name-caller's intelligence and vocabulary is.

A person who idolizes a certain individual to the point that cognitive dissonance occurs whenever a contrary opinion is brought up can accurately be described as a Nut-Hugger.

Hope this helps.

Makes sense to me! :D

See my Haters thread if you want to see a good example of Nuthuggers. The Wlad fans in there are rediculous.

As are the Toney fans.

AH! The king of the nuthuggers decides to join us!!

You shouldn't be called a hater just for hating a fighter. You should be labled a hater when that hate clouds your objectivity and judgement.

I'm not a big fan of those terms either.

I think a more appropriate definition would be:

Hater One who has an abnormal hatred for a particular fighter for no rational reason. One who "hates" a fighter will never acknowledge the skills and talents no matter how outstanding. :rolleyes:

Nutthugger One who has an unnatural love for a fighter regardless of how poorly they preform. A nutthugger will never see any flaws in their favorite fighter, regardless of how glarring they may be. :p

I agree with sonny.

Believe it or not, theyre not ALL like that. I found that out by accident really; a big Klit. fan p.m. me apologizing on behalf on the other "brand" of fans and was very sincere and seemed downright ashamed at their behavior. He informed me that (basically) I'm not a hater or stupid because I'm not impressed with either of them....a very reasonable guy that I dont mind talking with at all.

SOme of the worst nuthuggers I have EVER encountered have been Felix Trinidad's. To these sad bastards, the sun rises and sets in Tito's trunks.

These are the clowns that believed that Trinidad would beat Roy Jones.

Nuthuggers and Haters are terms being used liek there's no tommorrow. I think we all know what they mean, but the line has become thinner to some of the posters. People abuse it and just throw these names around.

I am hoping for December to come to me soon.

Sorry, I'm going off topic... Explosivo, funny sig man.. LMFAO!!

I am hoping for December to come to me soon.

It's been freezing in the Northeast this week. :mad:

I'm a big Tyson fan but Tyson nuthuggers are the worst. Tito's come in second. I like Tito as much as anybody but I've been able to realize he lost in 2001, many people haven't. I'm pretty sure EVERYBODY is a hater. If you think about it there has to be somebody that just pisses you off for some stupid reason. For example, I don't like Danny Williams because I'm tired of seeing British heavyweights, and because he beat up Tyson. I HATE John Ruiz because he has literally put me to sleep more than once.

I am hoping for December to come to me soon.
