why do rigo and lara get so much hate but ward and floyd are beloved?

[midnight_magic]

I watched Rigo and Lara's last two fights. Total tactical domination all fight. Yet hbo and pundits say they're boring.

I would argue they basically do the same thing Floyd and Ward do. In fact, Floyd and Ward fights are usually far more boring and ugly because of all the holding and fouling they do, especially ward.

So why are Lara/ Rigo boring and not worthy of being on hbo, but Floyd and Ward are? They all fit the same mold. Counter punchers who fight off the back foot. Floyd and Ward never even get knockdowns or knockouts. The Dawson fight doesn't count cuz' Dawson is a glass jaw with no heart. Aside from that, its always 12 horrid rounds.

Lara and Rigo get knockdowns and put out good beatings all the time.

I wonder if its bias against latino fighters. Maybe if they had more swag or yolo, hbo and showtime would push them more. I mean look at Broner, he posts ratchet **** and vids of himself pooping in public toilets and the networks love pushing him on us.

Rigo/Lara need more yolo swag. That's what I think.

Wat do you guys think?

floyd and ward arent beloved, especially ward

Better question is "why are you lying"?

Floyd and Ward get a lot of love? All 4 of them have the same fanbase. Stop with your race bating.

Also, they are 4 different fighters with 4 different styles.

i'm not, they always say how lara and rigo are boring and shouldn't be on hbo. Arum says hbo throws up when he brings up rigo.

what's so different about how rigo and floyd fight? decision points wins are decision point wins.

they're all counterpunchers who go 12 rounds most of the time and fight for decisions. Lara is the most exciting.

Floyd and Ward get a lot of love from the networks for doing a worse version of what Rigo/Lara do. Why is that?

Why doesn't Rigo have a 24/7?

[AntonTheMeh]

beloved? it isn't a public forum unless people relegate themselves to extremes. sheesh.

All four are very talented in the ring, but both Rigo and Lara lack character outside of the 4 corners. It's not "swag" or bigotry/hidden HBO agenda as some fans tend to fantasize, the truth of the matter is that they are stale. They also don't speak English, so that further lessens their ability to connect with the average casual boxing fan.

it's really simple if you deduct their in ring abilities and skin the reality of their persona's down to the bone.
