  • Too many fans want to be right.

    Do you feel that is an issue with the sport.

    When you think of the big fights that or on the table, or have occurred in recent years, you just know/knew a fighter's reputation was on the line.

    People keep talking about what needs to happen in order to save boxing, but I think the fans are just as complicity in its waning popularity. I feel that protected and well nurtured products exist, but I think people are also too quick to label a fighter a hypejob the moment he collects a loss.

    When the best fight the best, some fighters will inevitably accumulate Ls along the way. The current approach of throwing losers to the wayside cripples the acknowledges talent in division as good fighters get looked over.

    I think that people are too obsessed with being able to say ''See, I was right!" to tip their hat when the time is right.

      Truth. How many people have said "see! I told you I know boxing!" after they picked 1 fight correctly

      It's hilarious.

        I'm amazed how 72,689 posters picked Fury to win last night.

            What's funny is that most of the people saying "I told you so" actually picked Fury to win by KO, so they were wrong.

            I said he would win a UD against Klitschko after he won the Hammer fight 8 months ago, and there were a lot of other fans on this forum who had been saying it for years. It's nothing special really.

              Woah. Someone actually came into the thread, and did exactly what the thread starter was talking about.

                I didn't think Fury had much of a chance but i'm very happy to be proven wrong.

                  The next one will be when Wilder beats Fury and the same people who called him "chicken legs" will jump on the Bronze Bomber Bandwagon.

                    Didn't know how many fans Fury had until after he won and I started seeing the avis and sigs.
