Since when did being a fan of a certain fighter mean

[VolumePuncher]

Yeah, I don't really get it either. Maybe I'm a rare breed, but I like Floyd and Manny, so what does that make me? A flotard? Honestly the whole thing is ******. Watch the guys you want to watch, root for the guys you want to root for, and just have fun and enjoy the sweet science.

[Pullcounter]

you have to **** on anyone mentioned in the same sentance, or as a possible opponent, or just considered to have a better resume.

Simple question, I honestly just don't get it. A fighter can be great, but does that mean he has to be the greatest of all time, with the greatest resume of all time and no one could ever compete against them in any way.

it started with *****s. blame them

Definitely sucks to see this happen so much. That Manny-SRL thread was brutal to read.

[Boxing Scene]

Most threads now just turn into complete wars with everyone calling each other **** or whatever.

If you dare predict a fighter will win a fight you're automatically a fanboy of that fighter, regardless if you're actually a fan, and also you hate the other fighter automatically.

Not only that,but u get responses saying well this guy would smash that 1,so why bother fight.Then the guy that would smash the other 1 fights a granpa or some shot 1 dimensional feller instead.

Heaven forbid that an underdog fighter does anything remotely similar to what an atg did.U get,well how come he got away with it.Maybe,just maybe it's a little different for an underdog fighter who's recently been ko'd,moving up in weight to fight a champion to be a little cautious.As opposed to the greatest of the current fighters looking for every advantage imaginable to fight.

The automatically ur a fan of his arch rival.Even when U can't stand either.I'm the Punisher's biggest fan,but guess what,Martinez ko'd him.Do I hate Martinez,nope not a bit.He's had an amazing 2010 & started off this year on the right track baby!!

I wasn't ****ting on Bradley !! He is a great fighter.

I was just saying that his resume ain't all that much better than Amir's.

Sorry pal but i wasn't talking about just you. A lot of guys have been giving less then due respect to some of the best fighters in history only because they are compared with a fighters they happen to love unconditionally.

Boxing is great because of all the great warriors who have given their all to be just that. When a fighter is mentioned as GOAT material remember that it's an honor because of all the fighters who came before them and earned such titles as well.

[The Gambler1981]

I try to give respect is due, in general unless I have money on a fight what I want to see is a fight the raises the stock of both men.

I hate the hypocrisy though, what dudes cry about one day they all of a sudden they make excuses for the next. That is my main beef in regards to most posters here the lack of consistency people have, hold people to the same standards.

I do remember when *****s around here were hard to take, but nothing compared to the **** that goes on now and it's not floyd fans doing most of it. To talk down the achievements of fighter like SRL, SRR, Duran, Hagler, & Hearns is just laughable to most true boxing fans.

Really i don't even blame the boxing fans, i know a lot of rational fans of all fighters. It's the fanboys who are only in it until the next fad comes along. back then it was May, now it's Pac. soon it will be Khan & Ortiz.

They can't be a boxing fan imo,if you can't give one fighter or another credit then your just a nutthugger not a boxing fan..
