Let me ask all of those guys something - do you have a very similar opinion of Spence as a boxer compared to guys like Beterbiev or GGG?
If not, then you have your answer of why certain people support certain fighters, and you guys are part of the problem you're complaining about.
All 3 of those guys have had very similar amateur successes (Spence being the least successful of the 3), very similar pro successes (mostly dominant wins at 1 weight class), and very similar styles in the ring (relentless, big punching, hard working, pressure fighters with good fundamentals, easy enough to hit, but hard to hurt), and similar styles outside the ring (head down, not too much into the limelight).
And the one of the 3 with the most baggage on a personal level is Spence, with the drunk driving stuff and that crash. So I could understand how people were turned off from him from that.
I certainly was. It even affected how I viewed him as a fighter, he seemed like he was letting himself go. I even went from having him top 3-5 pfp and as a clear winner over Bud, to picking Crawford over him h2h in a span of about a year.
Absolutely ridiculous to see so many of the biggest haters on here, playing the victim and complaining about why people don't like Spence as a fighter. Yet they aren't fans at all of guys like AB and GGG who are very similar fighters...hmmm I wonder why.
Stop the pity party, or drop the bias yourselves. No one wants to read that sh.it.
...............There is no substance
Of course there is. Similar to other comments in the thread. You’re in your feelings because of what I posted in that garbage thread you created.
Let it go and move on.
I commented about the thread topic. Same as I did in your garbage thread. That is what I had to say so I posted it.
Why do you care so much that I post? You could’ve commented about the substance of the post instead you’re crying about me.
...............There is no substance
Why are you always whining so much ? If you have nothing to say than why post a comment ?

Why isn’t it ok for some of us to dislike boxers?
This same topic comes up regularly- it’s either “Spence fans” or “ Floyd fans. This is coded language. It generalizes and suggests we all have the same feelings about a boxer which isn’t true in any way.
There is never the same questions or criticism directed to any other group of “ boxer fans”. They are free to like and dislike whomever they wish. They also aren’t assumed to think alike.
Lets hope this kind of disgraceful stereotyping of just one group stops.
We all should be allowed to like and dislike equally.

I try not to dislike a fighter based on their fans. They have no control over that. I know what you mean though, I often wouldn't mind seeing a fighter lose just to shut their annoying fans up.
That's kind of hating a fighter due to their returded fans :lol1:
I don't understand what disconnects their ''brains'' from common sense and reality ?
How can a super fan talk about anyone's resume when their guy has a shltty one ?
How can a super fan demand one guy do something they wouldn't press their guy in doing ?
And giving their guy too much credit for beating a nobody.....
These super fans know who they are
For me, it's usually super fans that make me hate the fighter.
GGG, Pac and Fury have the most hypocritical, double standard having, excuse making fans in all of sports.
Of the 3, I hate Pac the least.
GGG and Fury have absolutely shltty resumes
Pac has a few ''good'' wins under his belt.

The man flew out of a tumbling car. I say its luck with a bit determination to live. A combination. A strong will... Beterbiev probably would have been dead at the very least not fighting at the top level after such a accident. Fighting at the top thats his strong will and determination. Its why people are "crying" for him. U are talking about beterbiev when he doesn't have the same story resume nore qauilty before or after the accident. Not even close........so why complain about them crying for spence when u cry about Beterbiev whos not even half the fighter post accident lol
LMAO u know Chechens ? In the Russian War the young men went milking in the morning. After that they took the bus with their AK47 and got to the front. Rinse Repeat.
These people aren't fan of guys like ggg because ggg is doesn't take many tough fights, is a huge hypocrite, a huge liability at DAZN, and a liar, never showed any desire or drive to challenge himself. Spence and even beterbiev will fight anyone. That's the difference. ggg doesn't have the grit and dog as these guys, so quit pity partying for ggg.
Horseshyte if your numbers are true then it was LUCK that Spence is still fighting.

get what u are trying to say but if anyone is remotely comparing Beterbiev with spence its turd logic. Beterbiev doesn't even have a resume, is this some kinda joke? Golovkin maybe, but Beterbiev is embarrassing at this point and to the the point 'why those guys were crying in that thread" maybe is that spence was a f up who got into a drunk motorcycle crash that probably would have killed 85% of people and disabled 99%. Now he is Set to fight the biggest match in modern day welterweight history and have trucked through top guys. In the same situation Golovkin and beterbiev probably would have been dead in such accident let alone fighting top guys after it........I can see why they are crying for spence vs u crying for Beterbiev honestly

I like Erroll, i'm a big fan of such fighters. G had more power punch for punch so if you hit him once you were going to see stars. It remains to be seen how effective HE will be since Ugas was able to land very cleanly on him, and he struggled at times but still give him the benefit of the doubt. But I'll be rooting for Erroll however I like Crawford as well.
The competition level at LHW is lower than at WW so Spence might even be better than Beter (or worse, since both are undefeated so I do not know their ceiling).
If a fighter is really good and has me in awe, I don’t care where they’re from. Tyson Fury won me over. I like Beterbiev.
GGG did what he had to do for someone who blew up at 30 due to poor choices in promotional companies and management (?).
I thought Spence was done and I was disappointed at his drunk driving. But he won me over again as a fan with his performance over Ugas.
As a boxing fan, I am very performanced-based, resume wise. Who did you beat and how. That is how I am won over by a boxer.
If GGG was latino or black I still would not care about his resume. Just like I don’t care for Benavidez resume or for Charlo’s resume, or Crawford’s resume. But I like Canelo because Canelo’s career is undeniably great. Just like Lomachenko. Tyson Fury. Mayweather. Etc.
Many fans are race-based, region-based. And they think everyone else is like that, they are projecting their own racist ways on other fans.
You as usual always start your rebuttals with a lame spin overflowing with butthurt.
"Bu bu but ggg got robbed I swear...."
(find a new punchline, opinions are like aholes,what matters is ggg has 1 elite scalp on his resume,& if you want to go off supposed robberies,he robbed Deryev & Jacobs. See how that works,dumdum?)
Also your claim about ggg being the man at mw at 32 is complete bs,he hadn't even won a legitimate belt by age 32,Eeeeaawwww
Spence barely turned 32
Ggg at same age had just been gifted a jr title by beating the atg Rubio(Chavez Jr leftovers & Pavlik & Atg oumas leftovers)
Ggg hadn't fought a single elite opponent that is anywhere near comparable to who Spence has already fought
Ggg was a club fighter at 32
Its Hilarious that all g fans have is a supposed robbery v a smaller guy g dragged up as a cherrypick gone wrong
Lol it's hilarious that you call a guy a bum, who hasn't beat anyone, and he was apparently a shot bum who hadn't beat anybody and got all these gifts - yet he still beat your hero twice? Lol. Nice flex man.
A belt doesn't tell if someone is the man or not lol. By 32 GGG had dominant KO wins over Ouma, Proksa, Rosado, Ishida, Macklin, Stevens, Geale, Rubio and Murray. That's 9 guys that I rate as fighters - he KOed every one of them and probably lost single digit rounds in those 9 fights, total lol. Most of them were in the Ouma fight.
Spence by 32 has 2 great KO wins over Ugas and Brook. 3 rather lackluster (in their own ways) decisions over Porter, and the 2 Garcias. Then he has a few good wins in my book over Van Heerdan, Algieri, and Peterson. That's 8 wins over quality or better fighters.
For me GGG had a deeper run but Spence's was tougher on the top end, but some of that maybe was because GGG was more dominant than Spence too. That's possible.
--------
Now that I schooled you on boxing history - let me say again - NONE OF THAT MATTERS REGARDING THE POINT I MADE - my point was about comparing those fighters TODAY. We are comparing their levels TODAY - if you rate one of them TODAY, then you should rate the others similarly, since they have similar styles, successes etc
Do you get it yet?? Lol
Lol. Yeah nice spin attempt. All that butthurt from you just because everyone saw an old GGG beat Canelo twice. Hurts don't it.
GGG was the man at his weight class at 32. It's splitting hairs as far as who beat better fighters by that time in their careers, and it's irrelevant anyway.
THEY ARE SIMILAR FIGHTHERS, WITH SIMILAR SUCCESSES, AND SIMILAR STYLES. IF YOU HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT OPINION OF THEIR FIGHTING ABILITY RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE PROBABLY A BAD FAN.
Maybe reading it in uppercase letters will get it through that dumbass skull you've been burdened with.
Do you get it dummy? Lol

This thread makes no sense,Ggg is 40, Beterbiev is like 37 or some sh.. Spence just turned 32,hes has already fought actual champs at his weightclass 3x now & is going for#4 v a p4p ww champ.
Compare that to Ggg at age 32 or Beterbiev at the same age.
Now compare it to current of those 2, Beterbiev has fought 1 semi elite fighter & a already kod journeyman B level 1x,aside from this hes done nothing,ggg at now age 40 has beat 1 elite fighter(Jacobs), 1 semi elite fighter (Deryev who nobody seen as a threat & whos lost all his step up fights but still clobbered ggg) & 1 B- fighter in Murata.
Thats what he has to show for a 16 year pro career.
Close fights you lost don't count

I don't really see how anyone can hate on what Fury has done as a fighter. Travels everywhere, never at home, beat Wlad (if you want to call that a win; it was a very uneventful fight) and then the 3 Wilder fights were all very impressive in their own way.
I can't name too many HWs ever who would go 3-0-1 in those 4 fights.
He is sloppy and wins only due to his size advantages.
Can't blame any HW who has a terrible resume because this is an absolutely abysmal HW era.
His fans are atrocious.
Saying he's the ATG.
Mocking everyone's resume when his is the weakest.
Traveling, shmaveling....if a guy is robbed on the road like Pac was (vs future HOFer Horn), it was meant to be.
Not too many fight fans gave Wilder any props until AFTER Fury beat him.
Now he's a legitimate scalp.....
I'm a fan of Errol Spence, I'm a fan of Terrence Crawford. If I believe Crawford wins its not because I hate Spence it's because I believe Crawford wins.
