Your Boxing Pet Peeves

[Thread Stealer]

One thing that I think is rather silly is when people say "so and so had the most heart ever, easily".

How are you gonna say one guy had more heart than another who desperately wanted to win and would go through hell? Who's to say that Mickey Ward wanted to win more badly than Carmen Basilio, or vice versa?

Bernard Hopkins ******* demenor

[The Gambler1981]

When people talk in absolute terms (a fighter will never, so and so will never, so and so will always, this prospect will never, this prospect is a sure thing)

[White_Bread]

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

CO-SIGN!!!


Everyone callin Haye a *****, then it was Klits, and the neverending Mayweather ***** jokes


Face to face no one would say that **** unless they were on medication!

[The Gambler1981]

When people just score rounds with knockdowns 10-8 without really thinking about what went down in that round.

[Dubious-Dutch]

Excessive clinching.

[REMOVED SHARK 99]

When boxers hype up a fight and tells there loyal fans to sell their house and bet eveything on him, and in the end your sitting on your lawn with your laptop.

when u try to discuss a decision with someone and they have no clue what they are talking about and just bring up obvious thing. "marquez was down 3 times!" "marquez was down 3 times!" yea i can count motherf.uckerer i still thought he won enough rounds.

when ppl say things like:
49-0, enough said.
46-0, enough said.
39-0, enough said.

its not really enough said at all if u dont know what fighters these guys were fighting. im not looking to talk down on floyd, joe or rocky right now.. just saying the record excuse is BS. i mean look at chavez jrs record. or hell look at his old mans recods before he stepped up in class. i dont know exactly when he stepped up but he had a big record without having really done ****.

Reporters / journalists who's only phrase is "another black eye for boxing".

How undefeated fighters suddenly become "overrated" or "exposed" if you're not a fan of the guy who beat him.

Translators who don't translate accurately

Fighters saying "if it dont make dollars, it dont make sense". (I just want to see good fights. His income is not my concern)

Fighters who say they'll "fight anyone", but then have so many bull**** conditions that the best fights dont often get made (money, weight, gloves, location, ring size, etc.)

Catchweights

Forum posters who think they are qualified to negotiate purse splits, weights, etc., and anyone who disagrees with them is an idiot. (Example: Pac should get 90-10 and here's why)
