Why do fighters hype up unproven fighters,yet criticize proven fighters?

[The Big Dunn]

Like Canelo?

hey russian, whats poppin. what happened to Matthysse?

[VatoMulatto]

People like to root for the underdogs. When a fighter show potentional but isn't one of the major stars and is unproven he's an underdog. Maybe it's just human nature...

[The Gambler1981]

Because proven guys are also proven usually to have some weakness and a boxing head will bring it up an talk about it in context. Impressionable people will take those points and run with them to high heaven taking them far out of context.

These impressionable fans will then take positives from an unknown guy and do the same thing because even the boxing heads don't know the weaknesses with great certainty yet.

It is all past of being a young boxing fan really, you need to let them learn from their mistakes and hope they learn to sharpen their eyes. It cna take a long time though~

[Ratchet]

They're held to a different standard...That's the only argument I can think of. Eventually, all these hyped up fighters will either crossover where they actually begin to receive a lot of criticism or they'll lose one fight and be labeled bums. That's the pattern on here.

Well you can, but it would probably be funny and clever. Most dudes who do it are young rookies in the fight watching game, which you are not thus almost anything you say would come in context.

I disagree the guy above you is an ******* who knows nothing about this sport! Probably one of the idiots who think the Garcia-Matthysse fight was close.
The type to call Floyd a runner and in the same breath praise Manny.P performance over a shot to pieces Margarito.

[LeG00N]

same reason, you called Morales and Barrera bums but said Berto was a beast going into the Guerrero fight.
