Fighters and their fans. What is your deal?

[SalvaDominicano]

I find it incredibly sad that people hate on other fighters solely because of their fan base. I understand the feeling because when Pacman fans were riding his nuts I started not to like Pacman despite his amazing skills, determination, and willingly fighting any fighter but seriously just get over it. I know some of us are less mature than other (that's obvious) but it just gets old. Hispanic/Black/White/Asian fans hating on Hispanic/Black/White/Asian fighters is just ******ed to me and to alot of others as well. So what is your reason for hating a fighter so much? If it is the fans, then why is it taking you so long to grow up and realize how idiotic you sound bickering with other BS members? Or is it because of your race?? Does race determine who you root for and who you root against? I know for some people this is the case and for some its not. I am a fan of fighters of every race but, most importantly, I never let it make me forget what I am: A fan of the sport.

I understand that people need to relate to someone which spawns fans but what is your reason for being a fan? What is your reason for NOT being a fan? Is it ethnicity or the admiration of skill, determination, toughness, or fighting style that makes you a fan??

It's all about being an unbiased aficionado and critiquing/hating fighters who deserve it for me, Salva....

That's how I personally enjoy my Boxing...appreciating AND critiquing at the same time...especially critiquing...lol

but...when I see ENOUGH superfan behavior towards ANY fighter who is clearly being overrated to the max (i.e. Margarito)....it turns my criticism into justifiable Hate....I want to see their fighter get dominated and their hearts broken.....I want them to learn their lesson the hard way and possibly become a more objective judge in the future.....

If you can Hate a fighter and STILL pick him to win...like when I picked Calzaghe over Lacy for example....that means you have that Quality Fan gene inside of you....

I'm not gonna lie. I personally don't dislike margarito or manny. But i really hate there fans. So everytime they fight i root against them

[Sox8055]

I like Marg and Cotto, they lose? oh well..happens to everyone...but you cant stop being a fan of them just because they lost..true fans stay loyal to who they like whether or not they lose...however I admit that Money gives a spanking to both of them....

[MANGLER]

I'm a fan of any fighter that's excitin to watch, til they give me a reason not to be.

Being english im patriotic which naturally means i dislike most american fighters. Its also down to fans too like in football i hate tottenham purely cos there fans are arseholes........

Being english im patriotic which naturally means i dislike most american fighters.........

At least you're honest about it...lol

but you all should really stop with that ****...

That's a big reason why guys like Hatton, Calzaghe, and Haye are being hated...because you start with the nationalistic bull**** and overrate them so much, you bring out OUR bad sides...

For the most part....American Boxing fans don't care where a fighter's from..really can't say that for many other countries...

It's like their favorite fighter HAS to be from their homeland...that's not right...

I honestly hate Hatton mainly because of his fans. And because he hugs more than my drunk aunt.

Give a **** what anybody else thinks

I can understand a fan base of a fighter making u dislike them,like in the case of JC,I mean he is a good fighter and all,but when his fans start calling him the G.O.A.T. really gets me irritated,but other than that,he deserves most of the credit he gets!!Then there's Floyd,I know he has looked superb in most of his fights,but I seriously question his compitition,him,I dislike regardless of his fans,I would change my oppinion of him in an instant,if he fought an elite welterweight,win or lose!!I am a big fan of Mickey Ward,balls like his is rare,in any sport!!
