Actually most, well the Floyd fans that I respect, don't give a damn how anyone feels about Floyd. You don't like him, fine that is your business. When your dislike leads to you discrediting his in ring accomplishments, THAT'S when Floyd fans (the ones I respect once again) defend him with fact laced rebuttals and opinions backed by facts.

Well even then... What if I feel his ring accomplishments are Overrated.. and I am just not all that impressed by them,

and I can use a bunch of "facts" to base my Claim on...??

Why does my perspective matter so much to you..

I guess ultimately I am asking.. Why people get so defensive about it??..

The problem Floyd has, is being the best boxer in the world....he will also be one of the most popular in the world.

That means he will have people that despise him, people that respect him, fans that like him, and the nuthuggers that troll these boards who just love the idea of being on his ****.

I don't have any problems with Floyd, but the stans patrolling these boards can make it easy to hate him.

Its just that idiots like VIVA MAXIPAD his alts and band of morons, ie, cmonf*g incredibly frustrating to deal with. The unwarranted asslicking praise they give to Margarito and Floyd hating is out of hand.

Sometimes you get caught up in arguing with dumbasses like them and forget thats its just boxing and this has no bearing on our lives, that unless you bet real money on it.

It's like defending your favorite team. I have been a Giants fan since I was 4 years old. I have had HEATED debates about the Giants over the years. In the end it isn't that serious, you say one thing I will defend it with another but I never take it personally because **** it isn't my relative you are talking about. The base OF being defesnive is DEFENDING what you believe is right. Nothing is wrong with that as long as you don't take it overboard. What I tend to not understand is why there are never any threads about the guys that make Floyd hate threads DAILY but it's Floyd fans (some well deserved) that always gget the brunt of the force. You could very well ask the question "Question to people that hate Floyd, why do you guys feel the need to make countless threads daily bashing a guy you have no personal relationship with, does he affect your life that much?"

I guess it's because this is a boxing discussion forum.
