Why is it ok to hate on one boxer, but not another

[Weebler I]

so him being a nice guy outside of the ring means if you want to see him lose then youre "not a real fan of boxing"? lol news flash most boxers arent model citizens.. broner and GGG are both good for the sport, but youre allowed to hate one and not the other around here for some reason

Golovkin
Exciting fighter - check
Good guy persona - check
Willing to fight anyone - check

Broner only ticks one of those boxes, Mayweather none.

It's the reason for the hate. Broner is hated for acting like a piece of ****. Golovkin is hated because his haters hate on every power puncher, same way that defensive fighters have fans who hate them for no reason other than being a defensive fighter. There isn't any real reason to not like GGG. If Golovkin acted like Broner, then hate away.

Why do people hate on guys like Ward, Quillin, Sergio, Bradley, Danny Garcia, Pacquiao, Floyd, or Bhop? Probably because they can beat just about anyone but still..

Ward- No reason. Just haters of defensive fighters.

Quillin- Not even bothering with you on this one.

Sergio- Not much a reason, if he doesn't get in the ring with Golovkin this year there will be.

Bradley- Not much a reason. Holding the Pac fight against him is ******.

Garcia- His father. Angel brings that on his son, doesn't seem to bother them.

Pacquiao- His career the last few years.

Floyd- His seeming reluctance to fight certain fighters in his career and his behavior outside the ring.

Hopkins- Says some ****** stuff throughout his career, ugly style, but if you're still hating on that old man the way he's winning fights at near 50, you need to stop.

These are not my views, but:

Ward - boring
Quillin - ducking
Martinez - ducking
Bradley - boring
Garcia - his Dad
Pacquiao - flomos
Floyd - boring, ducking
B-Hop - boring

Lol boxing fans can be ridiculous

its not just about broner, i just used him as an example, you can substitute him for whoever youd like

they know what you mean.....they said the same ish about bradley, alexander and khan. these guys fight everybody and still get **** on.

[ladiesman217]

If you're a Yankee fan, you hate the Red Sox...

[Citizen Koba]

Example, i see lots of people saying stuff like "i hope maidana knocks broner the *** out11!" then people start a circle jerk. But if you say "I hope GGG gets knocked out" then people say "how could you want that, youre not a real fan"

explain this garbage to me

Nah, there's plenty of hate to go round. There's always just as many guys ready to hate on GGG or Broner (or whoever) as praise either and always just as many to say anyone who wants either KOed ain't no boxing fan. It's more that you notice it more when it goes against your personal feelings.

In the main I think it's partly a kind of proxy way of getting at other posters you dislike (ie. by wanting to see 'their' fighter stopped to bring them down a peg or two) - although their are some fighters whose out of ring antics do seem to invite more criticism and distain than others.

Whole thing's pretty silly IMO but it can be hard to give any opinion on boxing forums without provoking a reaction from someone.

Who cares? Everyone gets hated on on here. Everyone is overhyped, everyone who is being talked about has to be "the next big thing," everyone being talked about is the "new Mattysee," every black fighter has to be "slick," if he's not he sucks.... Every white fighter has to be a mindless, crude face first brawler, if he's not he sucks, every Mexican has to fight like Salido, if he doesn't, he either sucks or he's not really Mexican. Rematches against clearly-outclassed opponents ate OKAY as long as said fighter fits your agenda/is your favorite fighter; every guy with power is a brawler and can't box, every foreign fighter is overhyped or a bum because they don't look or speak like me, every Briyish fighter has a glass chin, every Puerto Rican is a quitter, etc.....


Just weed out the people like that, it's not hard... Although annoying

[FrankieBruno]

Because fanboys take everything personal

I'm no fan of Broner, I actually don't rate him at all and he's very ****y, but I don't want him to be knocked out, however if he gets knocked out then that's that, I want him to prove me wrong

I love when a boxer proves me wrong Danny Garcia is prime example, I rather be a fan of the boxer than a hater.

If every boxer were to get knocked out because I don't like them, then I'd have less boxing to watch, I want to see more boxers be successful so I have more fights to watch

I love watching a boxers journey
