We Need More Real Boxing Fans, Less Hatred and Unappreciation for Fighters!!
This is basically a rant, but one I feel is more than warranted.
Everyone has a favorite fighter, someone they love to watch, or just support for nationalistic, or hometown reasons. Got it. That aside, fans need to step back and look at the bigger picture, and not be so ****** and narrow-minded when discussing the sport as a whole, divisions, and rivals. I am sick and tired of reading ridiculous, ignorant hatred and unfair criticism when it comes to fighters who EVERYONE should love to watch fight!
New flash people!! Just because you are a Pac fan doesn't mean you can't appreciate and recognize who JMM or Floyd is!
Just because you are a Wlad fan, doesn't mean you can't give Tyson Fury his due respect!
Just because you hate Floyd, doesn't mean you have to embrace Berto if you didn't really like him to begin with!
Just because you are a Cotto fan, doesn't mean you have to trash Canelo at every turn and vica versa!
But my biggest gripe? There are fighters who EVERYONE should want to see fight, fighters like Maidana, Golovkin, Wilder, Fury, Lomachenko, Kovalev, and Thurman.
Get rid of your lame agendas and hate, and stop grasping at straws such as "oh, but he hasn't fought anybody, who has he beaten?" "Why is he ducking this fighter and that fighter?". JUST STOP! Fighters are very rarely in control of matchmaking and the parameters of a contract, THE HATE IS MISDIRECTED!
Why do we watch boxing? To take sides in senseless drama wih promotion companies? To hate every fighter who isn't "our fighter" even if there is no real reason to? I don't. I watch boxing because I love the sport, I love the intricacies, the history, the drama in the ring, the finess, the violence, and the intangibles it brings out in a man. I love the competition, the heart, the excitement. I don't care what flag you fight under, just come enter the ring and give it all you've got against whoever you fight and both will earn respect from me until they do otherwise.
If you can't put your childish agendas and hate aside for certain fighters who are flat out IDEAL and personify what it is to be a fighter and what boxing is all about, then GTF AWAY from my sport! We don't need or want you running your mouth and bringing boxing fans a bad name!
LET GO OF YOUR ****** AGENDAS AND JUST ENJOY BOXING!!!!!
