Horus Presents: BOXING FANS VS. FIGHT FANS (Which 1 R U?)

[BattlingNelson]

hehe Rodbarker is just an emotional guy. From what I have seem of him he likes and follows many different fighters, not just floyd. He just gets caught up in the chaos of boxingscene I think.

Disagree Dean. RodBarker is a moron.

hahaha well I have not seen much of him lately. Actually I have not seen him at all as of late.

[deanrw]

OK I read up on his recent posts by doing a search. He does seem to be all about Floyd now. Weird stuff!

[Eaner0919]

Eaner you are 41? Heaven forbid man what are you doing discussing boxing online? You should be in an old folks home!!


I get the same thing in here sometimes. Some people like to point out my age and feel it eliminates me from the discussion.

LOL I know but boxing keeps me young and as long as you keep current with things that go on then you can add value to any discussion IMO. Working for Bscene and Everlast helps a ton as well

Horus Presents: BOXING FANS VS. FIGHT FANS (Which 1 R U?)

It has become every so apparent to me that the lines have been draw in the sand when it comes to Floyd Mayweather Jr.

On One Side you have the BOXING Fans. Who Praise Him as the one of the Pound 4 Pound best they ever seen, and an all time Legend. I am talking about true boxing fans, those who love the art of boxing and appreciate the skill, discipline and dedication it takes to be truly great in the sport.

On the other side you have the FIGHT fans, those who question Mayweather status as a great fighter and Criticize he fight style as “BORING” “LACKING DRAMA” AND “DOESN’T TAKE RISK”. In simpler terms, the fans that love blood and guts warriors, and who praise raw aggression over season skill, and risk taking over discipline.

So here is the question If you to rank them 1 and 2 which is first and which is second and why?

BOXING FAN
FIGHT FAN

Horus: Boxing Fan

My argument
Is BOXING IS AN ARTFORM...
Floyd Mayweather jr. has mastered the ARTFORM of boxing
Just look at the compubox numbers!!! He is a plus 32

Why bleed and cut it you don't have too?
I don't blame Floyd for not wanting to be punch drunk.
I don’t want to see him in there just swinging crazy wild ass punches.
That’s not what I expect from or want to see from Floyd, as so called “boxing fans” shouldn’t either.

Could you imagine someone like MIchael Jordan dumbing down his skill level to make a basketball game closer so people can see a more competitive game?

Or Jerry Rice purposely dropping passes so football fans can see how he struggles under pressure.

Allot of "so-called" boxing fans but really are just "FIGHT FANS" are always trying to force Floyd and other fighters that practice the sweet science to abandon their defense and put there chin in the air for there enjoyment.


FLOYD is boxing at its purist form.
So the excitement you should get is not Wanting Floyd to change his game up...

But wanting to see if anybody will take the risk like Castillo did in order to beat Floyd.....

Floyd shouldn’t have to change his style to accommodate FIGHT FANS like SOME OFyou.

BOXING FANS love his style just the way it is...

This effort makes no sense. First off, not everyone can box like Mayweather. Not everyone is born with the God given gifts Mayweather has. In your argument, only boxers would be allowed to get into the ring, it seems as though everyone else is not worthy of that.

In reality, there is much more to boxing than being an "art form". While boxing can be beautiful, it can also be brutal. The brutality is very much part of the sport and shouldn't be dismissed as something trivial or unworthy.

The greatness of Rocky Graziano was his chin and heart, it's not something that should be dismissed because it is as important to his success as is the speed and agility of a Mayweather to his.

Why take one over the other? Isn't it the diversity of styles that make boxing so great? Isn't it the fact that we think we can predict the outcome of a boxing match, yet we fall short because there are other intangibles involved that matter.

I love watching a great boxer just like I love watching a great brawler. BOTH have their part in boxing and one is no less than the other. Because while Mayweather is a great technician, it takes as much if not more from a human being to withstand the punishment a Gatti took or a Graziano took to get the victory.

It's will over skill, it's heart vs ability. That's what makes boxing great and I wouldn't want it any other way.

And you can be a fan of BOTH.

Without a shadow of doubt in my mind, Horus you're probably the most biased, ******, and probably one of the top 5 All-Time worst posters on this forum. I'm a boxing fan but, I just plain dont like Floyd. Never did and Never Will.

[Horus]

As one of the mods here, I can verify that a complaint was received yesterday night requesting the ban of Eaner for the harassment of Horus. The person used the "Contact Us" option at the bottom of the page. The person did use the username id of "Horus" when issuing the complaint.

lol, this is the biggest amount of bull**** i ever seen in my life.
PLEASE MOD POST THE COMPLAINT...and stop trying to save your boy's ass...

POST IT, NO EXCUSes JUST post IT...
Because i know for a fact it doesnt exist....LOL...

So just show the people the complaint if it exist...NO EXCUSEs just provide it...
wow, i never knew you guys would lie just so you can win a argument..

NO MORE EXCUSES POST IT.. !

LOL

LOL I know but boxing keeps me young and as long as you keep current with things that go on then you can add value to any discussion IMO. Working for Bscene and Everlast helps a ton as well

The secret is to pretend you started watching boxing the last two years.

Who cares if you saw Hagler-Hearns live? That fight was overrated you know.

I would think years of experience make it easier for you to engage in a discussion without consulting boxrec or youtube.

The more experience the better.

I appreciate posters who've been part of the game a long time.
They are always relevant in any discussion and can look at fights and current situations through the lens of history, which is a great thing.

WAR OLD PEOPLE!
