Can someone explain something please..

[mines a pasty]

Something i've never understood; I apprecaite that fans like some boxers, and dislike others, after all, that's what it's all about, but there's something i've never understood;


In respect to RH against KT:

Fans who dislike Ricky Hatton have, and will continue to claim that Kostya Tszyu was 'shot' when at the time of the fight, Kostya Tszyu was ring magazine P4P ranked no. 2 in thwe world.

In respect to JC against BP:

Fans who dislike Joe Calzaghe have, and will continue to claim that Bernar dhopkins was 'shot' when 6 months later he wipes the floor with Kelly Pavlik (who a lot of people critisied Joe for not facing) and is CURRENTLY ring magazine P4P no.3 in the world.

Can someone please but there dislike/hatred aside for one moment and allow a little credit.

I can never figure some peoples quite frankly ODD reasoning for boxing.

It really is a mystery to me.

Good post.If you ask any poster who said,"hopkins was an old man when they fought",today what their current p4p list looked like you would probably see hopkins in the top 5,and thats today.Old man my arse!

I always, and firmly believe that credit is due when it is due.

Ricky was a 7-1 underdog against KT.

There was NO mention of him being shot before the fight, ONLY after. My God, Ricky made him QUIT and still gets no credit.

As for Hopkins, well I’m quite frankly sick of hearing people call him an old man. He's 13 years my senior and looks 13 years my junior!

To me these 'haters' as they seem to be called come across and woefully childish.

In a sport where RESPECT is king, some 'fans' really don’t understand the meaning of the word, and could probably not spell it either.

Grow up kids, this is boxing, not conkers.

Anybody that makes a living getting punched, deserves credit, prayers, a salute and a hearty handshake.
