    Boxing fans that don't like underdog stories or comebacks from losses

    If you notice Floyd fanboys they don't get inspired by comeback stories or fighters who had to overcome adversity or took a beating than turned the tide in a fight, if a fighter loses its enough for them to no longer like them or to already consider them a bum. The majority of Boxing fans in general respect fighters who can comeback from a tough KO loss or have losses but rise to the top when counted out.

    You can see it already when they leave comments saying how they are surprised Pacquiao fans are still around after he got knocked out, so basically for them if a fighter loses they move along to the next fighter?

    A lot of other boxing fans get inspired by these stories of guys who never were perfect but showed enough heart and grit to win and shock the world. Its why Rocky was so popular, Floyd fanatics that hate those type of stories or call them bums.

    Those are my favorite type of fights and fighters. When a guy is fueled by his desire and heart. They love pot shotting and running.

      This is actually pretty accurate. Look at how they treated Trout before the Canelo fight, and after. It's like he doesn't even exist anymore. And the only reason they still cling on to Bradley is because he was given gifts against Pacquiao and Provodnikov and still has dat "oh" doe

            I see more of these types when a comebacking fighter is put in against a Floyd, Broner, Pac, or any other star. 1or 2 losses and all I see is bum talk

              wow so everything is a HATE thread now.

              Its more like an observation thread.

                I actually think if Floyd lost, not even a brutal lost, the people that cling to Pacquiao like Floyd fans does to Floyd, will be even worse about the fact Floyd lost.

                Imagine if Canelo gets a UD, it will be surprising how fast Mayweather will not be considered elite or on the P4P list.

                  In my opinion being a Floyd fan is pretty much being a fan of an underdog..

                  I never seen Pacquiao considered inferior to him until he got K.Oed
