How Painful is it to see your favourite fighter lose?

Your right, im no more a taylor supporter until he puts on a performance...Ive liked him from the start because Pre-Hopkins he was a different fighter, used his jab more, his reach, used his power more. I guess we will have 2 wait...As you all know my two favorite fighters have suffered brutal losses but you know what while it sucks and I don't like it I would rather see them give it their all and go in there and get their asses kicked than fight a sheltered ***** made career and start talking about fighting for paydays only rather than proving they are the best before they hit the age of 30 ala Jermain "NO Intentions of proving I am the best" Taylor.My fighters are warriors win or lose and will fight anyone anywhere and have proven that.....I still support them win or lose.
and yeah Miranda and Lacy are warriors.Comment

When Leon Spinks W15 Muhammad Ali
I was in my 2nd and last year of college when Ali lost to Leon. I adored Ali to the point that the next day, because he lost, I did not speak a word for 24 hrs. It sounds ****** now, but as a 19 year old, my brain said it was the right thing to do in honor of Ali. I actually had a white cardboard sign that said "Muhammad Ali, a great fighter, lost the Heavyweight Championship of the World to Leon Spinks. I am observing 1 day of silence."
Man, does that sound real dumb now!
I was sad whenever Duran lost as well. Even in the twighlight of his career, I hurt every time he lost.Comment

i'm one of these guys that roots for the mickey ward's and emanuel augustus' of the world. so i'm fairly used to seeing my guys lose and its also helped me be a much more impartial boxing fan, i love the sport more than most of the individuals in it now.
i think augustus in particular though is a candidate for fighting into too old of an age- it's going to hurt to see him get brutally KOed. I definately think it's an unavoidable fate for him if he keeps going much harder for much longer. he's got a great beard but i think he's gonna get in front of the wrong guy sooner than later the way he fights prospects.Comment
