    All except Khan. This guy (still) has people believing he's meant for greatness.

      Boxing fans are fickle always going for the flavor of the month. Like the old saying says "You're only as good as your last fight" so true.

        I like Bradley, but his hype train will stop as soon as he gets loses. We saw what happened to Martinez, Canelo, and Matthyse. Know-nothing fans put you on a pedestal and, just as quickly, drop you like a rock.

            Fans are very fickle.

            I like the "He's a HOF'er", "Better resume than Mayweather".

            How about Matthysse? I remember reading Matthysse knocks out Pacquiao and Mayweather, after he knocked out Mike Dallas Jr.

              as soon as a loss happens, the fighter is automatically garbage and he got exposed. Unless he has a massive fan base like Pacquiao then he lost out of robberies or lucky punches. I honestly hope Mayweather loses just so we can see how his fans break down. I want to hear the excuses and how overrated he is. Boxing has some of the worst fans... well not all, i'd say most of the garbage comes from Mayweather fans.. some Pacquiao and Bradley fans are pretty bad too.

                I'm a Khan fan, I don't think he's "meant for greatness" I just like the courage he displays in the ring. What's wrong with that?

                  Its odd how Bradley was one of the most hated fighters and Marquez was one of the most loved before the fight and now they switched spots!

                    It's partly because of Marquez's terrible sportsmanship and attitude after the fight. It's also partly because the Bradley hype train has just begun.
