From Doug Fischer's Monday Mailbag:

Hello Dougie,
What's up? I got a new interesting top 5 for you: Top five boxers with the worst fans. Ciao! -- Alex

LOL. This is a good one. Top 5 fighters with worst fans that I have experienced during my tenure as an internet boxing scribe:

1. Oscar De La Hoya (“My boss” had a legion of hyper-sensitive fans, aptly nicknamed “Golden Girls,” who would claim that anyone who criticized their golden boy was either jealous or racist).

2. Mike Tyson (the S.O.B.’s that Tyson attracted were certifiable; I’ve never been threatened with violence and **** via email as much as I was when I would criticize their beloved anti-hero near the end of the former heavyweight champ’s wild career).

3. Roy Jones Jr. (“Superman’s” followers -- nicknamed “Jonestown” by Steve Kim because they happily guzzled HBO’s Kool-aide hype -- were as obnoxious and ignorant of boxing history as Floyd Mayweather’s drones, only there were A LOT more of them).

4. Floyd Mayweather Jr. (What they lack in numbers the “Money-grubbers” -- I just made that nickname up, you like it? -- make up with sheer ******ity; confidently parroting their undefeated king’s claims that he is the best fighter anyone has ever seen with zero hope or intent of backing those words up).

5. Felix Trinidad (oh man, at the apex of Tito’s career, late 1999-through-mid-2001, his fans, called “Trinidiots” by some message boarders, were almost insufferable; they believed their hero could do no wrong and they’d damn anyone to hell who thought otherwise).

Honorable mention: fans of the Klitschko brothers during the early part of the last decade, and Pacquiao’s internet/boxing forum maniacs. I’ve been hit by hundreds of the latter after I had the “audacity” to state that Pacquaio would have lost to hall of famers Wilfredo Gomez (at 122 pounds), Sal Sanchez (at featherweight), Roberto Duran (at lightweight) and Aaron Pryor (at 140) in a column before the Ricky Hatton fight. They would have made my top five if I hadn’t been able to quiet most of them just by asking if they’ve actually seen those four greats fight. Most admitted that they hadn’t and backed off, which was a pleasant surprise. I wouldn’t have received that kind of response from Jones’ and Mayweather’s fans. I don’t even want to think about what Tyson’s fans would have said. http://www.ringtv.com/blog/2289/doug...onday_mailbag/

at Tyson fans

its between tyson fans & floyd fans.

[SirTomJones]

its between tyson fans & floyd fans.

Floyd and Tyson probably are the top 2 worst.

Roy Jones Jr was superman to some. absolute terminator.

[Mighty_Windir]

Puerto Ricans are the worst fans period

You must have a crush on us to be mentioned so much

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

Floyd and Tyson probably are the top 2 worst.

Roy Jones Jr was superman to some. absolute terminator.

i know exactly what dougie was talking about when he says certifiable. when tyson was in his prime, the way he would win, just by sheer terror & knockouts you could somewhat understand the hype & delusion his fans were saying. heck i was a big tyson fan. i thought there was no way he was gonna lose to evander.

with floyd fans, its something else. these shameless scumbags defend every little word, thought, idea floyd says. no matter how ******, ignorant, vile, & racist it is, they defend him.

from the martin luther king malcolm x comment to the pacquiao racist rant, these fools go full johnny cochran mode.

i never heard tyson fans talk about ppv numbers & how much money tyson makes & how little everybody else makes. that's what puts it over the top for me. floyd fans pretend to be financial money experts.

at least tyson fought everybody. nobody ever accused tyson of ducking.

[Tyson.]

Hatton fans are by far the worst.

Pissed up skinheads who only follow Hatton and know nothing else.

[n0b0dy]

Every great fighter has his own share of delusional fans. But Mike has the shortest prime years according to his fan and NO fan today threaten others with **** as Mike's fan would.

[Mr. Fantastic]

From my experience, the Tyson fans have been pretty cool and know the limitations that Tyson had.

[SirTomJones]

Hatton fans are by far the worst.

Pissed up skinheads who only follow Hatton and know nothing else.

you are a worse then anyone of them.

Your sig blows.
