    Have you ever found you have a really random supporting of a fighter?

    I apologize for the vagueness of the topic title, the limit on topic title length makes it hard to ask the question I was trying to. Basically, have you ever found that you end up supporting/liking a random fighter, say on an undercard or something like that, an opponent of one of the fighters you've always supported? I'll give some examples.

    1.) Daniel Ponce de Leon - This guy has so many flaws it's unreal, but I can't help being a fan.

    2.) Steven Luevano - Random one, but I'd class myself a fan.

    3.) Jesus Chavez - The one who was involved in the Levander Johnson tragedy. I saw a documentary about how he was having to fight to not be deported, etc, kinda made me a fan. Didn't last long though as he lost every fight I saw him in.

    4.) Leonardo Zappavigna - Liked the look of this fighter on the Cotto-Mayorga undercard, and the Zappa alias, just a shame he had a bad 2011, I didn't last long as a fan...

      Carl Froch. At first I dislike him because he was too arrogant, but he's willing to fight the best and he's going to continue doing that by fighting Bute. Even though Froch is not the best in the world he always aims for the top, something that boxing is lacking right now.

          Chavez jr currently. Not because I like him, but because he gets so much flak while Canelo gets passes for the same ****. I still believe at least Chavez fights people, he goes to the body well & has far better stamina than carrot top. Cintron? Really?

          Almost identical to Floyd getting ****ted one for cherrypicking while Manny strolls in on his high horse & does it far worse, usually at mannyweight.

            Do you have any idea how ignorant you sound? You stopped being a fan because they happened to lose a fight or two.

            I bet your favourite boxers are: Floyd Mayweather, Andre Ward, Tim Bradley and Yuri Gamboa. Am I right?

              Jr has been growing on me lately. Despite his blatant Maravilla duckery

                Mikey garcia. Has to be the quietest and most humble member of his stable and goes under the radar but always impresses me while continually stepping up competition.

                  Well, Daniel Ponce de Leon and Steven Luevano both have losses and I'm still a fan.

                  My favourite boxers are actually: Roy Jones Jr., Andre Ward and erm... Miguel Cotto. Marco Antonio Barrera too. Lamont Peterson is kinda a flavor of the month fighter for me.
