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

[Tay Roc]

As a fan (short for fanatic), you're allowed to have subjective dispositions on fighters (i.e. who you root for and who you don't root for). The basis for who root for does not have to (and should not have to) be based on objective criteria. Being a fan is a personal experience and expression. It doesn't have to have underlying purpose or meaning; it's just an individual choice you get to make with or without justification.

I give a lot of **** to floyd and pac fans, but we're all the same in a way. We get to choose who we root for and for whatever underlying purpose. That purpose does not need a justification. Of course there are underlying prejudices and racial issues (which impact the analysis), but if you just like or don't like a boxer for any particular reason (outside of racism or prejudice), I think it's fine and you don't need to justify it whatsoever.

TS is right.. ppl are hypocrites.

its okey to like or even respect some fighters more than others, but all world class fighters deserve a certain amount of respect. ALL OF THEM. yet ppl dissrespect one guy then complain when someone they like gets dissrespected.

just like TS' example of them wishing one guy gets brutally knocked out then complaining when someone says they wish someone else gets the same.

Nobody likes arrogant, loud mouth guys who talk a big game but walk an inch to prove it.

Feel better now?


Lots of people didn't like Hamed for the same reason. Or Camacho.

They're annoying and have grating personalities. The only people who appear to find them funny in any way, are other annoying and grating personalities.

You're a ****** dude. It's called charisma. Broner is the man. He just likes to have fun.
