Why do people who say the heavyweight division is awful post about it so much?

[Hitman932]

People love to hate. It's really as simple as that. People do the same thing with Floyd Mayweather and most other popular boxers. It's like, if you hate the guy so much, why are 90% of your posts about him? Makes no sense.

At least hating another person is a fairly normal thing for a human being to do.

Hating an inanimate object such as a weight class implies a much deeper mental imbalance.

Yup, I know exactly what you're talking about TS. If they hate it or are bothered so much by it, why do they continuously make threads about it? It's like when people make threads about fighters they don't even like, or in some cases have a disturbing infatuation with that fighter, but keep making threads about them. It's kinda freaky.

Of course true boxing fans respect the current champion Wladimir Klitschko.

However, some very nationalistic people who are not true boxing fans constantly complain and whine about how bad the division is.

Name his top 3 wins. That is why people don't care about the HW division. It is more shallow than any division I could ever think of.

Hating another person, especially a person the hater has likely never met, that happens to be very successful in a sport they are presumably passionate about, is normal?! Not to mention the target of the hate has no idea the hater exists, yet the hater devotes precious and valuable time of their life hating on said person. That's normal? That is the problem with the world. Instead of people going out in the real world and utilizing all their blessings from God they live vicariously and negatively through others. It is very, very sad. That is why this forum has gone to complete crap. Rarely do people intelligently discuss boxing. No. It is thread after thread of racism, phony nationalistic pride, hating, PPV buys, b.s. business stuff. I swear more people on here care about the business of boxing (Which they know nothing of truly and make no money from) than they do the actual fights themselves.

Simple answer: Cuz they're insecure nerds. They feel threatened that Wladimir or Vitali will surpass they're fav fighter from way back.

And it brings out the worst in them considering it's already happening.

Im a fanatic American who loves America and loves Boxing!!! Wlad is the world champion and my favorite fighter!! Im a proud Mike Tyson and Jack Johnson fan and love the Klitschkos! Wlad reminds me of the old tme fighters like Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey. Wlad is a 7 year champ with 5 belts, how can you not respect the man?????? He's one of the best athletes on the planet........and he doesent even brag about it. He's on a Tyson/Ali level....one the best ever.

Maybe because of the history of the division? Some of boxing's greatest fighters and biggest fights have resided in the heavyweight division. Wouldn't it be a shame for people to just forget about it completely? I think people will always be intrigued by the division Klitschko brothers or not. People long for the days of steady competition and a loaded division. I really don't think true boxing fans have this animosity towards the division just because the two best fighters in the division aren't from their home country, that's just a little ridiculous.

yup. switch that Ukrainian flag for the stars and stripes and you got yourself two top 10 of all time

There hasn't been a Heavyweight as big and popular since Mike Tyson.
