The Anti-Hater thread

[DET. IRONSIDE]

I don't hate fighters. I hate the puppeteers.

Some fighters are their own puppeteers and some don't use the leverage they have over their puppeteers.

Fights that are important for boxing need to happen. Fights shouldn't be turned down because a fighter isn't a draw.

Fights should be fixed on ability to make good fights happen.

I hate Joe Calzaghe with all my heart and there is nothing anybody can do anything about it.

Why?.................................

• dull fighting style
  
• dull personality
  
• didn't have a conqueror's heart to go to the US in his prime. Only went there for his last fights so that he could say: "hey, Ive fought all over the world. Ive been to Vegas and MSG."
  
• His annoying dad.

I could go on and on.

Now, I hate the word hater.

But this is a thread for all of us fans who geniunely don't dislike any fighters that we talk about on this forum. For me, 'Nard is the closest to a well-known Boxer that I dislike - even then the sport is far richer for his presence.

The main reason why I find it hard to 'hate' on fighters is because we only talk about good fighters here and that should sound like an obvious point but it gets misconscrewed all the time. We talk about the cream of the crop of world boxing, guys that are competing at a very good level. Even British domestic level for example is good-level. These are talented, dedicated athletes that have pledged lifetimes to the sport and have gotten somewhere. They all deserve respect.

And then there's Audley Harrison. He is where my moralising falls short.

Thanks for the good positive post. But bear in mind you are just in a good mood and that has a cure - time online.

I don't really hate anyone. Though I disliked Hopkins for a looong time. I've come to appreciate him years later. I've had my gripes, but I would NEVER constantly make threads about a fighter I didn't like. That's when you become an obsessive, shitty poster.

Why make thread after thread about someone you're not even a fan of?

I don't boxers I hate personalities and hypocrital talk. However I understand this is also a business and that people got to make a living a big one.

I hate when posts are X did 5mil PPV but Y did 4.5mil therefore X is better at boxing.

Posts that are repeated on a weekly basis on same subject but different wording.

WTF seriously I haven't seen a post hey did you see FNF or whatever weekly boxing show you watch. Or someone saying this guy looks like a good prospect check out his fight.

Granted I havn't done that either but then again I get mostly local Aus boxers and nothing that special on the horizon.
