Hypocrisy of boxing fans

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2009/nov/11/the-forgotten-story-of-ali-inoki Little has changed in almost 50 years.

winning most of the rounds against a 0-1 youtuber and not even at least getting a knockdown is just as bad as a loss. floyd supposedly greatest all time ever in the history of sports according to his worshipping fans easily lost 2 rounds, got hit with big shots, missed a lot of shots and couldn't even get the ko. the look on floyd's face after realizing a youtuber made the distance says it all. he was completely disappointed in himself and embarrassed. It wasn’t the most flattering of moments I agree. But he’s a retired 44 years old boxer and it’s an exhibition match so what does it even matter? It was freak show circus event and it unfolded as such. There’s no winners or losers because it wasn’t a professional fight.

When one of our ex champions loses to a 45 yr old Ray Mercer in their own discipline we can talk.

They were both trying to hurt eachother, and only one of them succeeded in doing so both in and out of the ring. Exhibition my arse. As far as the MMA guy goes, he was known worldwide as having the worst hands in combat sports, it was the weakest part of his game by far. The equivelant of the floyd fight would be Jake Paul outwrestling Askren in MMA which would never happen. Floyd brough the youtuber into his game, his sweet science which some claim nobody ever mastered better. And got smacked around, looking scared and unable to pull the trigger with every medium scoring the fight for the youtuber who looked like a stiff caveman. I honestly feel bad for the reputation of the sport of boxing right now. But not the hypocritical fans. They're hurt. It was literally an exhibition. Do you understand that or are you under the impression it was a professional boxing match? The MMA guy getting knocked out in a minute in a pro fight by a YouTuber doesn’t mean anything to MMA. I’m just letting you know those two scenarios are polar opposites and you probably shouldn’t compare them because it makes no sense to do so. I’m not a surprised Floyd couldn’t pull the trigger because he’s 44 years old and retired. Are you aware that Floyd’s 44 or are you under the impression he’s in his 20’s? But even if it wasn’t an exhibition and it was a fight that were to be scored Floyd obviously would have won most of the rounds so not sure where you’re going with that one.

When Paul tried to punch hard... floyd hardly really needed to even cover up. who didn't teach this guy how to use his body on his punches? sheesh!

Well, it was literally an exhibition and not a fight. And even if it was a fight, Floyd won most of the rounds. The other one you’re referring to was a pro boxing match and the MMA guy got knocked out in 1 minute. Not comparable scenarios at all.

Or when stupid casuals say Wallin "exposed" Fury, but they have already forgotten how much Ruiz exposed Joshua hahahahaa...

Will you learn from this? It was all good to **** on MMA as a whole because one of their guys lost to a youtuber, rendering MMA a "joke" and "ruined". Now you just got a taste of your own medicine and all of a sudden it doesn't matter, it's "just an exhibition" etc. The insecurity began growing in the 00s and it has only gotten worse. Floyd vs Logan Paul was "just an exhibition" and nobody got KTFO or even buzzed. Youtubers seem to have better chins than MMA fighters. :D
