Your Boxing Pet Peeves

Triangle theories
Vitali Klitschko beat Ross Purrity who beat Wlad who beat Rahman so therefore Vitali KO's Lewis

Boxing fans saying nasty things about boxers' family members "Dawson's wife is ugly" "Hatton's wife has saggy boobs"...real low, comments that are very uncalled for and disrespectful in every way.

I can't stand it when boxers at the weigh-ins start going at each other physically. It's usually fake, shows a lack of class, and is an embarrassment to the sport.

Funny you say that and yet your sig quote's the guy who made that famous.

Triangle theories mite be the worst...

People that talk about the "good old days" but know little about it. You often see posters yapping about "remember the old days when people didn't care about money?" and then they bring up Sugar Ray Robinson of all people. "Fighters in the past never got avoided like today". Yeah, guys like Archie Moore, Eddie Booker, Lloyd Marshall, Holman Williams, Sam Langford, Harry Wills...boy they just had offers for title fights all over, didn't they?

People watching like one or two fights of a fighter and then thinking those fights defined the styles of that fighter, for a whole career, and that they ALWAYS fought that way. How many times do you see people saying crap like "my god, Hagler was such a fierce slugger, always coming forward", or a matchup with a prime Hopkins involved and people say "Hopkins only throws a punch every 2 minutes"?? Way too often. I suppose years from now may watch Mayweather-Judah and think PBF was always a pressure fighter, or Mayweather's fight with Corley and think PBF got a tad reckless in every fight.

Press conference boxing fans. "Oh my god, so and so called out so and so". So and so must be scared because didn't fight this guy who mentioned him in a post-fight interview. Fools thinking boxing is an episode of The Wire and every fighter is Marlo Stanfield. "Ah, he called out my name, now I must step to him or else I look like a b!tch!!". And then there are the "Legendary Nights" boxing fans as well.

Man I hate all that **** but especially the two bold points.

I hate ***** ass fans who flip on their supposed "favorite fighter" as soon as he loses a fight. Happens all the time around here.

Excess clinchin and runnin
Loudass fools screamin in the audience

Bernard Hopkins at every fight. I always chuckle at that.

[Thread Stealer]

When keyboard warriors call pro boxers *******.

That's a bunch of crap too. Although I've admit I've done that in the past, when I was bored at work and trolling, trying to get a rise out of people to make the day go faster.

People discrediting wins for being "blown up", "too big", "past prime", or "overrated"
