what are some of the biggest double standards in boxing?

[S.I.M.P]

In your opinion?

[Redd Foxx]

The primary hypocrisy/double standard I see lately comes from the guys that have parasited themselves onto Golovkin.
-Floyd goes up to fight Canelo. Gets no credit, must go further, fight GGG.
-Ward is "ducking" Golovkin, yet goes up to fight the much bigger challenge in Kovalev and the only thing they can do is pretend it won't happen.
-Genady Golovkin's career choices.

I'm not even criticizing Golovkin himself, just the dim witted fans that try to make him out to be benevolent and create ****** excuses for him.

Loma and Rigo both supremely talented fighters both pure boxers one is praised as the best boxer since ALI the other despised called boring and hated on by both HBO and top rank

I don't think anyone is falling head over heels over Golovkibs resume. Its his performances against the guys he has faced so far that has made a lot of noise. Who exactly has Golovkin avoided at 160 that isn't ducking him or long retired?

Well this is another one, they slammed Floyd for not fighting certain fighters when he clearly called them out and wanted to fight them...but GGG doesnt even really call anyone out yet gets a pass because they say those fighters are ducking him which may well be true..but thats another double standard

Yea because Quillin, Jacobs, drunko Pavlik, Sergio, paraplegic Williams, Canelo, psychotic Jermain, Cotto, and Chavez all wanted and still want a fight with Golovkin. Floyd "called out" Mosley and Oscar when he they were the hit new thing. Mosley vaulted to welterweight status while Floyd stayed away at the 130's. Fighting a drained Diego and getting his first "loss" with mighty Jose Luis Castillo.
Golovkin has landed the best fights possible at 160. It's interesting Quillin is thinking of a move to 168. Mosley called out Floyd, Pacquiao called out Floyd, Oscar called out Floyd for a rematch, but oh wait...wouldn't a career featherweight in Marquez pushing 36 and a natural counter puncher be a impressive win. Even better, why not drag him up to Welterweight and then pull a fast one and not even make the agreed upon weight. What's even more ridiculous is Marquez actually had to chase Floyd and fight on the offensive! A old tiny lightweight who is a counter puncher is too risky for Floyd to back him up and stop him! Sad!

that GGG must abandon his shot at the Cotto-Canelo winner and move up & fight Ward tomorrow afternoon, or its a duck, but its perfectly fine for Ward to spend the next year or so on his "Tune up Tour 2015-2016" before he supposedly faces Kovalev........

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

all the mayweather ward fanbase are only supporting him cause they are the same color but when other fans root for the same people as them they play the race card.

[Chrismart]

I find catchweights come into that category. Some people hate them until a favourite fighter of theirs use them, then it's not such a bad a thing.
