Who will be rooting for the underdogs?

It also doesn’t bother me when boxers have solid fan bases, but the fanatics are the ones that amuse me. I’m a fan of the sport, I enjoy watching certain fighters more then others but at the end of the day all fighters can’t go on forever so there will always be someone else to watch, but certain fanatics after their hero falls they no longer follow the sport. I just like watching a good fight no matter who is fighting. The sport will never die because there will always be the next big thingyeah um with ya there. And while boxing as sport wont die, if theres no exciting guy that tons of fans wanna see and talk about then theres no money. I mean hbo has canelo and GGG and kovalev and still is getting away from,boxing. It needs pacquiao, mayweather and then the next teir which was cotto, margarito, corrales etc. It cant thrive without top draws though. Look at showtime, they have alot of todays "stars" and there ratings arent very good on average. That what make corporations go away from,the sport. So if millions of ppl flock to a guy or two then its really good for sport. Where as guys like us dont give a fook if its fnf because we dig boxing like that

It's this forum that makes you feel like that. I find myself wanting fighters to lose that I would normally enjoy watching. Wilder springs to mind and kovalev. There's far too many arguments on here these days and not enough sensible discussion.

Boxing thrives when fans follow certain boxers. Without that boxing dies. So doesnt bother me when boxers grow a fanbase. Whether its srl, odh, trinidad, chavez, mayweather, pac, GGG, hearns, canelo, AJ, etc. Thats what boxing for entertainment (on tv) has to have in order to stay on It also doesn’t bother me when boxers have solid fan bases, but the fanatics are the ones that amuse me.

I don’t put any stock in what people say either, I just like the damage control after their hero’s fall. Like after pac got sparked by JMM. The forums were unbelievably entertaining Boxing thrives when fans follow certain boxers. Without that boxing dies. So doesnt bother me when boxers grow a fanbase.

I like it when cherry picks go wrong.

I'm not rooting for the upset because I wanna see the Canelo rematch and a BJS unification fight but I think Vanes is gonna bring everything he has. I expect him to get stopped but it's gonna be a firefight for a while I think. Yeah I don’t think Van has a chance and there is no guarantee that Canelo fights G next anyway. I think Van will definitely bring all he can and with G loosening a step it should be entertaining while it lasts. The upset I wouldn’t be surprised with would be if Povotkin beats AJ if they fight next, and the funny thing is I like AJ but some of his fanatics bug me

I definitely know what you mean, seeing fanboys acting the clown makes me want to see them eat humble pie. And I do think that not rooting at least a little bit for the underdog is the sign of a guy with no soul, dramatic upsets are some of this sport's crowning moments. It's not a hard and fast rule though, I can think of exceptions for sure. I didn't root for Khan against Canelo for instance and I doubt many other people did.

I’m pretty indifferent when it comes to these champions with the large and passionate fan bases (GGG, Canelo, AJ, etc..) I like watching prospects and contenders more for some reason anyway these fanboys have got me rooting for the upset in the high profile fights just to shut them up. Anybody with me?
