Why do a fighters fans run and hide when he loses?

And even Cotto fans were filling these boards and now none are to be found. There's a Cotto fan right here :boxing: However, I do agree fully with your post. The problem is, some people talk so much shit and hype their guys up so much that when they lose, they look stupid, so they do a runner. It's pretty sad really, I like Cotto, DLH and Khan, despite them all losing by KO (Or some form of stoppage) recently.

you making the mistake of calling bandwagoneering, dick riding, nuthuggers, ''FANS". THEY ARE NOT, NEVER HAVE BEEN, NEVER WILL BE FANS!

there was a slight depression mode after the roy loss to joe for about a week... and i think it was roys confidence, and knowing what he USED to be like in his prime that gave you a false sense of confidence in him... you have to sit back and realize that, although thats roy jones... hes a 40 year old human being, he cant do it forever

No doubt. The shit talking by both would draw in millions, literally millions. I think it would also be one of the biggest HBO 24/7 ever. But I think Jones does less shit talking and is just straight confident especially recently since he's so religious. Just like when he mentioned that if he lost against Calzaghe he would have nothing to lose. Hopkins on the other hand is a different story. LOL... By the way, notice how much of the Hopkins fans are back after the Pavlik win. They had ceased to exist after the Calzaghe loss, but now have magically reappeared, fully equipped with their alt's and everything. It's disgusting... haha, i know right... lol i did notice that, eventually his reign must come to an end... its an eventuality every fan must face

yeah... talk about two of the biggest egos thereever was lol No doubt. The shit talking by both would draw in millions, literally millions. I think it would also be one of the biggest HBO 24/7 ever.

i'm more talking about the trolls who do nothing about than hate and nuthug i haven't noticed any (what i would consider) decent posters disappearing after a wrong prediction and i remember you paying up instantly... it was my first decent sized bet :D yeah, i HEAVILY predicted a kelly wipeout of bernard... but after he won, and the way he did... shit i was proud of bernard! happy for him... excited at what i just saw... a 43 year old athlete pulling out a prime performance... was incredible... didnt feel bad at all about my prediction...

some more than others, shit i preached how hopkins had not a chance... had 3.2 million in bets.. i lost.. and paid everyone within an hour after the fight... and gave hopkins his credit... i'm more talking about the trolls who do nothing other than hate and nuthug i haven't noticed any (what i would consider) decent posters disappearing after a wrong prediction and i remember you paying up instantly... it was my first decent sized bet :D

I feel the same way. I think Jones would win but as you've said that is for another discussion, all I was mentioning was how huge it would be if they fought at a later date than in their '93 match-up. yeah... talk about two of the biggest egos thereever was lol

that actually has nothing to do with it... i think roy beats hopkins prime for prime all day long.. but thats for another discussion... it was because i had bets with people, and i know they were excited about there win, and i paid them immediately I feel the same way. I think Jones would win but as you've said that is for another discussion, all I was mentioning was how huge it would be if they fought at a later date than in their '93 match-up.

Well that's because you can go to sleep at night knowing Jones Jr. will always have that W beside his name and Hopkins will have an L for when they fought. If only they fought after that when Hopkins was in his prime... that actually has nothing to do with it... i think roy beats hopkins prime for prime all day long.. but thats for another discussion... it was because i had bets with people, and i know they were excited about there win, and i paid them immediately

people talk so much shit on here that they are humiliated when they are proved wrong The funniest would be if Haye did somehow beat Vitali.

What about Oscar de la Hoya? Everybody used to like him. Good point. I guess I didn't add him because now his fans are almost non-existent. Most have fled these parts in search of a newer and better Mexican...Sort of a DLH V2.0

to be fair those kind fans usually come from those flavour of the month fighters. Like Paul Williams, I mean do people actually go to the venues to support him. It's an internet phenomena really.

It's honestly getting pathetic. First it was Hatton's fans when he lost to Mayweather and none of them were to be found only to be found later when he was on a winning streak with his latest winning against Paulie. Then, it was Pavlik fans and how everyone couldn't get enough of him until Hopkins beat him and none were to be found. And even Cotto fans were filling these boards and now none are to be found. How quick has Cotto been abandoned? Now we can't see enough of Margarito fans filling the boards to max level. To be honest, hate him or love him I think Cotto is still a great fighter. He received his first lost to another great fighter and not to a bum. I think this should stop. Win or lose, I will always have Mosley up their as my favourite boxer regardless of his record. I don't discriminate between whether the fighter has lost a match or not. I think that's just plain pathetic to be honest. Especially when you're just riding the bandwagon for every fighter that is recently winning. What about Oscar de la Hoya? Everybody used to like him.

oh alright, i thought thats what you meant.... yeah im a roy fan no matter what... doesnt matter... if he loses, if he gets knocked out.. if he doesnt have the best resume.. if he didnt fight the best fighters he could of, or the other 45000 things people dont like him for... doesnt matter... my favorite no matter damn what

whatcha mean? Well I mean that there are only a select few who stay by their boxer even after he loses. You're in that minority group who do. Other then those select few, many are just bandwagon hoppers.

so after next month i guess you'll disapear for awhile ey Lol not really man. When Mosley fought Cotto and lost (although I thought it was much closer) I didn't run. I stayed and still had Mosley as my favourite active boxer. BTW, Mosley is going to win. Mosley SD12 Margarito...
