Why do you even watch boxing if all you do is talk ****??

I thought one of the main reasons to follow something closely is so that you can be critical~

I mean for real these forums are ridiculous. Probably 75% or more of the threads are nothing but bashing fights and fighters. Bradley-Alexander was the #1 and #3 fighters in the division fighting each other and it was a good fight until Devon pulled that shit at the end. Now people are on here saying they were both bums and the fight was shit. After every fight which ever fighter loses automatically becomes a bum fighter who is shot according to lots of people on here. Do I even really need to mention the Pacuqiao-Mayweather situation? No,because there have been nothing but shit talking threads about both them since their names were mentioned in the same sentence in 2009. How can you say you love the sport if you do nothing but talk shit about it? If all you want to do is bash on it then don't watch it, simple as that.

I can only speak for myself. I know that I am a fan of certain fighters and its no crime in that. I have learned to reply to the one's who prefer to talk boxing. Sure its ok to joke but the constant bashing is tiresome just to have to scroll through it. I just rather a person say I hate a fighter just because so I know not to respond to you. Rather than drum up some silly reason. I never refer to a fighter by anything other than their name except maybe Cintron. Just because he jumped man.

As far as Alexander/Bradley, I liked Bradley since FNF days. The times I saw Alexander I just didnt see what everybody else saw and he proved me right. No the fight wasnt great but necessary to move on. To try and make it a super fight was a pretty hard job so no ill will.

Never heard that but if that's why you want to follow something then go right ahead.

People just wanna admire divas that don't want to put it all on the line like Juan Ma Lopez, Yuriorkis Gamboa, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Calzaghe, Khan (he had to be forced to fight Maidana and watch him duck Bradley), and down talk fighters who are actually interested in fighting the most dangerous challengers in their own weight class.

Bout time homey,U back to the old self.Thought it was gone forever.

truth. ive had debates with a number of posters on here, including u. among all the fandoms, there are ppl who kno there **** and there are ppl who just feel the need to hate or bring down any fighter that is in opposition to their fighters/isnt their nationality or from their continent, etc. its laughable that the forum is polluted by these types but thats how it is nowadays.

when all a person can say is "khan kills bradley!!" without a decent argument to back that claim up or without any analysis, then they arent worth a response.

thats how it is though man, a tough sport with tough fans...just gotta realize when coming into these forums, where anyone can say anything, just dont let it get to you...it's nothing but words really...love the sport for what it is and what you believe it to be.

Great post,
but that's how it is on these forums.
Anyone that loses is automatically a bum, shot or exp0sed.

Who cares. Ignore them, give your opinion, and be knowledgable and other good posters will recognize that.

No need to get mad about a bunch of guys coming on hear to get some laughs and entertainment. You realize you fall right into that with threads like this right? It pretty much means they won. If people just ignored them, and only communicated with sensible posters then it would be fine. Let the clowns argue with clowns.

Obviously not everyone agrees either.

We are hardcore fans so I think its natural to be a bit overcritical at times when you spend so much time watching fighters from all around the world and like I do personally 90% of world title fights that happen yearly.

How can you be a true critic if you don't follow something close as hell.


Positive or critical doesn't matter as long as there is knowledge behind the view and if everyone valued everything equally there would be nothing to to talk about or discuss. To me that is worse for the sport because people would even need to think about it.
