      Boxing is OK, although there are too many sanctioning bodies and belts, plus too many shady decisions/fixed fights.

      What really annoys me is "boxing fans". It's pretty disgraceful when they label fighters who are less than exceptional "bums". Most fighters are just regular, hard-working people trying to earn a living, pay their bills, keep a roof over their head and support their families. Typically, boxing is made up of people from less fortunate backgrounds who are just trying to improve their lives. They don't deserve to be called "bums" and treated like they are scum. Not everyone can make it to the top, but even these so-called "bums" are doing much more than the average hater who does nothing but sit behind a computer talking trash.

      These are not really fans at all, because all they do is hate a certain fighter and anyone who likes him. See them on here daily, posting nothing except negativity, never contributing anything meaningful to discussions, and forging bonds with other morons through hate.

        this probably isnt the best example. dawson/tarver II is going down because tarver has a rematch clause.

              * Padded records: When a fighter is like 30-0 with wins against nobodies. Tye Fields was a good example until he got KTFO'd

              * Hate against great boxers becouse they don't fight like mexicans: Mayweather, Jones, Pernell etc.

              * The guys who think that every fighter that fought 60-80 years ago would whoop any good fighter currently.

              * Calzaghe: Just about everything annoys me about him, great chin though

              Continue...
              I like your like but can we please stop the hating on Chad Dawson for the Tarver rematch? He had no choice. It annoys me the people are saying he's ducking Johnson, just going for easy money, blah, blah. Rematch clause, nothing he can do about it.

                Your point is well taken, I wish Dawson was fighting Johnson too. Just use another example next time. Like Calzaghe fighting Roy Jones or something.

                    I hate when I find out that Jim Lampley is not announcing on HBO and in his place is Max Kellerman.
