Fans Vs Haters

[cmartez]

I'll keep this simple and start by saying im a FAN of BOXING and respect all who step inside that squared circle. My favorie fighter happens to be Floyd Mayweather Jr. but that does'nt stop me from enjoying the scintillating performances of other fighters. There is a distinct difference between a Fan & a Hater. As a Fan of boxing i can appreciate the skill and hard work of special fighters such as Shane Mosely and Manny Pacquiao. If i were a Hater i would disregard there obvious skills & exciting performances and call them immature names like "Shane Steriods Mosely" or "Manny Pacroid". I'm ofcourse far too mature to make silly comments like that. I will use this post to highlight some of the attributes of 2 of the world's great fighters Shane and Pac. Floyd is MY pick to win either fight but i can still acknowledge the great talents of these fighters: That's the difference between a Fan & a Hater.

Shane Mosley:
Humble.
Respectful.
Takes on all comers.
Possesses knock out power in both hands.
Fast hands and reflexes.
Very experienced.
An excellent finisher.
Takes risks.
Has fough everyone.

Manny Pacquiao:
P4P #1.
Fighter of the decade.
Most exciting fighter in the game.
Excellent speed in both hands.
Superb power carried up through the moves in weight.
Greatly improved over the past 3 years.
Humble.
Great personality.

Fortunately I can recongnize elite talent without the need for hating and silly name calling. Hopefully theTRUE BOXING FANS will keep this LOVE of the sport alive despite the challenge of having to contending with millions of ignorant Haters.

You have a lot of young fans in these threads and when you don't agree with their opinion they resort to name calling or insults. But all in all usually new fans a brought by particular fighters and eventually they will open up to other fighters. I might like a particular fighter in one fight and the other fighter wins and I can appreciate the peformance even if I wasn't rooting for the guy.

Boxing has a lot of up and downs with the fighters so most of the time it is a rollercoaster. I am a fan of the sport first before I am a fan of any particular boxer and believe that everybody is entitled to their opinion either I agree or not.
