      Next time you have an axe to grind with me, take your own advice and go to the Thunderdome or some ****. Don't use one of Earl's threads as your own personal maxi pad

      Take it easy

        Just like you use the entire forum as your maxipad on a daily basis... Talk about irony.

          I was a fan before he came out. I'm not gonna stop rooting for him just because he's gay.

            the man is more dominant than anybody in boxing, has been for yrs
            it's not his fault his division doesn't have any threats
            as a HW, he can't go up, so he's stuck
            but he unified, fought and beat all the top contenders
            he's a champ who has contenders ducking him
            don't understand all the shit he gets

              Grown men having fanboy wars over the internet

              Can't you just accept that both Bradley and Khan are wrongly disrepected without having to go down the fanboy route?

              Bradley ducked Khan....but rightly so. It worked out for him in the end. He didn't duck him because he was scared of him, he ducked him because he was scared of missing out on a much bigger payday. The right move for his career. And it worked out for him. Khan chose to go down the more risky route, and look where he is today. Love it or hate it, thats Boxing for ya.

              Put it this way, if it was Khan who turned down the Bradley fight because he was scared of losing out on the Mayweather payday he would have got slaughtered on here. None of those who are now so quick to jump to Bradley's defence would have been mentioning how he made the right career move, win or lose as it would have been by far his biggest pay day. That would have considered a straight up duck, unanimously on this forum bar a couple of Khan's fanboys.

              A great point was made by Earl when he mentioned a similiar situation in which Kell Brook got a lot of hate for when he turned down the Bradley fight. Was that not the right career move? We shall see if he can beat Alexander but many were quick to say he ducked him.

              Either way, both Khan and Bradley are very much wrongly disrespected on here.

                  Timothy Bradley.

                  I am even more convinced about it after reading this thread.
                  I don't see why he should be hated for winning a controversial fight. I actually re-watched the bout recently, it was a rather close fight imo, I wouldn't call it such a huge robbery.

                  Besides, why hate a fighter who attended the post-fight news conference in a wheelchair!?.His left foot snapped in the second round. In the fifth, he injured his right foot, yet he went on.

                  At least praise his heart.

                    I don't hate him for that. I actually felt sorry for him. He looked so hopelessly out of his depth in the entire Pacquaio situation.

                      If Amir toned down the **** talking and got a bit more humble I think people would like him a hell of a lot more.
                      khan has shut up a bit in light of his recent losses, especially the stoppage to garcia. if he were never a sh#t talker i think he would have been much more well liked.

                      khan does enough in the ring for me to give him a pass. the guy is in great fights.
