I have to admit, on occasion I think I have forgotten why I am a boxing fan.
You know, it's like with me being a fan of David Haye, I have to be honest, sometimes i find myself frustrated, or annoyed at things that David Haye does, but even so I still support him, in the process I sometimes get drawn into flame wars, or other things like that.
But when I sit back, i can honestly say to myself, David has his flaws, and he may or may not end up being a huge success at heavyweight, but I have had fun following him, and if he loses, well I will still have fun supporting and following him, If Wladamir, Vitali, or even Ruiz beats him, then it's because they deserved to win, and because David didn't do enough. I won't hate him or flame him or anything like that, that's life and that's boxing.
Sometimes we get overly personal, and forget that this is a business as well as a sport, and that any slip up or loss is picked apart and talked about for years and years, it makes people frightened to take risks, I think occasionally we need to sit back and just take a simpler look at things from time to time. In the age of the internet, Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao can't even go for a piss without it being posted on here, that they peed on the seat.
Just this week, we have Edwin Valero, and Thomasz Adamek fighting.
I am not a huge fan of either, but I think i'm just going to sit back, and enjoy a couple of boxing matches for a change, without being overly critical of everything.
sorry to drone on, i just felt like getting some stuff off my chest.
