Everyone has been guilty of being a fanboy or hugger at one time or another in their love of boxing. Here's a chance to admit any times you may have convinced yourself of nonsense out of love for your fighter. To this day I am still a bit of a Pavlik fanboy. Sometimes this makes it difficult to discern their talents. I almost had myself convinced Hatton was gonna beat PBF at one point.. Share.
I know but i wanted to keep it clean.. It should be an admission thread, baiting them would turn this into a PBF debate.. I do honestly think it shows everyone reading this thread the kind of thinking behind PBF hugging though.. atleast someone admit it.. Theres been Cal, Pavlik, Tito huggers and more already.
u better it watch before u know it they will be claiming this thread is a conspiracy to get people hating on Floyd ,Lmao
we need to set some bait for them start criticising Mayweather & they will start nuthugging him is this very thread , u will get the desired effect put it that way LOL

I think it's pretty ridiculous that not one Mayweather fan has come on here and admitted to a little fanboy hugging. 4 pages and not one, sounds like denial.

Calzaghe would make Pavlik look worse than Lacy did. Pavlik is more one dimensional that Lacy, and Calzaghe would definitely make it look that way. Dont hate me for saying it, we all know it deep down, and I'm a big Pavlik fan.
i disagree allthough i think Zag would beat Pavlik soundly i dont think Pavlik is more one dimmensional than Jeff Lacy
Pavlik is more agile than Lacy for a start has a far better Jab ,he is a better combination puncher than Lacy aswell & he has physical advantages that Lacy does'nt have like height & reach
with Pavlik height & reach he is far more superior fighter than Jeff Lacy
I think Lacy's performance against Manfredo did more harm than good for him.. Although he beat him he sort of looked a lot like him(performance wise) or atmost marginally better.. And i'm pretty sure no one wants to look like Manfredo.

I dont, Holyfield and Lewis schooled his ass and Danny Williams KO'd him. Prime or not prime the DW shit is just embarrasing. He worked his magic on old men and a bunch of bums, then lost to a bum, then went to prison, then lost to a great, then got KO'd by a bum! I do not see the attraction.
Well with maybe i shouldn't say everyone was/is a fan but rather everyone was captivated by him. If he came back tomorrow you could put it on PPV and it would do decent.. and he's not even remotely relevant. Ppl are curious to know what he's gonna do next, he's like the Britney Spears of boxing. Ppl are rubbernecking cause no one wants to miss the next crash.
I think everyone who watches boxing is still a tyson fanboy on same level. Or atleast they have a sneaking suspicion he could work his magic on almost anyone in the ring when fully in prime.

:hijacked: LOL i was just looking at my SIG at my top 5 favourite fighters & i suddenly realised what is it with these people who put my favourite fighters in thier SIG then proceed to name every Superstar of every ERA
it would be easier top clarify who the fighters are that they like the most by just naming the ones they dont like ,LMAO
I am a self admitting pavlik hugger! BUT, i am not a blind fanatic who refuses to see his faults! i know he is not on the level of hagler or the greats as some state! He has many faults, and has much to learn, and i can see this and i will not over hype him! i acknowledge his limitations! He has youth on his side, and is already champ. the sky is the limit for him, and he will continue to prove many wrong! i see him beating everyone at mw, but i know he is not ready for a kessler, or joe c! only time will tell if he will ever be on that level!
Not ready for Kessler? shit, I don't know about that. I'm def a Pavlik hugger, I may cry he if Taylor wins.
Only Person I've ever been a fanatic over in all of sports is Dominique Wilkins when I was a kid. Even to this day when I play basketball, I still try to play like him, its kinda sad!

I've never been a Tyson fan.....ever. And I'm 30 so I do remember his hayday. Fuck him tho.

this sounds like the thinking behind any fanboy but i guess that is the point of the thread. What's interesting is no one has come on here and admitted to loving PBF.. No Pbf huggers on this forum? Not being able to admit even a little hugging is a sure sign of being a fanboy.
Calzaghe would make Pavlik look worse than Lacy did. Pavlik is more one dimensional that Lacy, and Calzaghe would definitely make it look that way. Dont hate me for saying it, we all know it deep down, and I'm a big Pavlik fan.
Lacy wasnt Lacy because Calzaghe wasnt who he thought he was. He was told that he was fighting an old slapper. He actually fought against a man who boxes with the stamina of a man half his age and more power than he will ever receive credit for. Still the only man to put Lacy on the canvas I believe?
No question about any of that......I agree. I've since become a big Calzaghe supporter. He fights like fans want to see and does it better than damn near anyone else out there today!
