It's not that they're irritating, it's just that I hear the same nonsense over and over: "Isn't boxing dead?" "We need exciting fighters like Hagler or Hearns." "Boxing is never on TV anymore." "Where are all the exciting US heavyweights?"
Oh, wait, there's some legitimacy to that last one.
I live in Britain and theres frequent boxing on sky sports from matchroom and its fantastic quality 99.9% of the time but because you need to know boxing to have an idea of the person fighting most casuals assume its some low quality boxer
whhats far more irritating IMO is NSB posters who claim to be real boxing fans that don't know how to score a fight, say things like Jabs don't count, brag about not buying ppv's in favor of illegal streams, complain that every close fight is a robbery, discredit any win against the fighter they like and display a lack of knowledge about boxing history that "hardcore" fans in other sports don't have.
I know exactly what you mean, fair enough having your favorite fighters but if you claim to be a hardocre fan at least score a fight from an unbiased view. A lot like the ruslan provodnikov fight vs algeri just because ruslan is an exciting fighter and likes to brawl people automatically think he won even though from an unbiased view algeri outboxed him and ruslan didnt cut off the ring well enough
