Why do you even watch boxing if all you do is talk sh*t??

How can you be a true critic if you don't follow something close as hell. Positive or critical doesn't matter as long as there is knowledge behind the view and if everyone valued everything equally there would be nothing to to talk about or discuss. To me that is worse for the sport because people would even need to think about it. If I follow something close as hell, its because I very much enjoy it. If I didn't like it I wouldn't follow it close as hell. If you like boxing so much you would follow it close as hell, and then talk about the good things instead of just constantly talking **** about it. Of course there will always be some things that you dont like or disagree with, but stuff I see on these boards daily makes me think those people don't even watch it accept to find reasons to trash it. If I don't like something, I just don't follow it instead of constantly talking **** about it.

Never heard that but if that's why you want to follow something then go right ahead. How can you be a true critic if you don't follow something close as hell.

I mean for real these forums are ridiculous. Probably 75% or more of the threads are nothing but bashing fights and fighters. Bradley-Alexander was the #1 and #3 fighters in the division fighting each other and it was a good fight until Devon pulled that shit at the end. Now people are on here saying they were both bums and the fight was shit. After every fight which ever fighter loses automatically becomes a bum fighter who is shot according to lots of people on here. Do I even really need to mention the Pacuqiao-Mayweather situation? No,because there have been nothing but shit talking threads about both them since their names were mentioned in the same sentence in 2009. How can you say you love the sport if you do nothing but talk shit about it? If all you want to do is bash on it then don't watch it, simple as that. green k coming up:boxing:

Anyone that loses is automatically a bum, shot or exp0sed.

truth. ive had debates with a number of posters on here, including u. among all the fandoms, there are ppl who kno there **** and there are ppl who just feel the need to hate or bring down any fighter that is in opposition to their fighters/isnt their nationality or from their continent, etc. its laughable that the forum is polluted by these types but thats how it is nowadays. when all a person can say is "khan kills bradley!!" without a decent argument to back that claim up or without any analysis, then they arent worth a response. thats how it is though man, a tough sport with tough fans...just gotta realize when coming into these forums, where anyone can say anything, just dont let it get to you...it's nothing but words really...love the sport for what it is and what you believe it to be.

People just wanna admire divas that don't want to put it all on the line like Juan Ma Lopez, Yuriorkis Gamboa, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Calzaghe, Khan (he had to be forced to fight Maidana and watch him duck Bradley), and down talk fighters who are actually interested in fighting the most dangerous challengers in their own weight class. Bout time homey,U back to the old self.Thought it was gone forever.

I thought one of the main reasons to follow something closely is so that you can be critical~ Never heard that but if that's why you want to follow something then go right ahead.

According to the threads on NSB, every fighter is overrated, shot, a bum, etc....... Makes me wonder the same thing

most only follow certain boxers and hate on anyone who says anything negative about that fighter..

bump..........

Surprise surprise there are more threads on Pac-Mayweather and the blood testing shit on the front page. THis is another example of what I'm talking about. Some people must fail to realize that has been done to death for the last year straight.

If all you want to do is bash on it then don't watch it, simple as that. dont forget when someone talks up somebody they like quite a few people bash that. its why i mainly just lurk around and read comments and not post anything. whenever i do talk sports at other places i like to not be biased with who i like or predictions. most of the time here the bias is too much.

Theres some posters on here that are obsessed with their faves that they'll Red K and abuse anyone who disagrees with them (as you'll notice by my rep, like I give a f*ck). It's all a bit pathetic if you ask me, we all have our faves (Khan, Haye and Floyd) but some people take it faaaar too seriously. Can I pay 20 bucks to get in the lounge lol?

Nothing but the truth.

I don't really have a fighter that I cling to. So when I choose to speak on a fighter, or a fight, it is mostly objective, and as a fan. 2nd Bold: This is so true! It's like, who are you trying to fool? Me or yourself? Anyway, some posters are funny, some are stupid, some know their sh*t...It's just the nature of the beast.

gamboa's last fight with salido was better then this crap too. Stop exaggerating. It wasn't.

fight fans dont deserve these fights.they called for it now they crying. bradley next fight should be against Tim Coleman and devon next fight should be against Steven Wills. for i can join in on the b*tching on here I know what's the deal with that? I saw lot's of threads before saying this is what boxing needs and all that, now it's the exact opposite. I mean I might talk a little shit every now and then about a fighter I don't like, like David Haye, but I am a boxing fan overall so I am here to talk boxing, not talk shit about it constantly.

I feel you my man... Thing is, if you can check your emotions at the door (before you log into the site), you will find there are some real characters that post here! This place is a riot sometimes! If you let it, it will get to you...I do undertsand that. Half the people hating and crying know that Bradley is the number 1 fighter in the division. If they want to place Khan there with him, that's fine too...But Khan is not above him. The hating and discredit gets on my nerves too! That's when I just :drive:, and find topics that aren't so hateful... In truth, it has been a while since I have really sat down and talked boxing on this site...That is sad. 100% co-Sign HS homie. Thats why I bearly come into NSB, and keep my ass in the Lounge.
