    Disliking a fighter because he.........likes to dance??

    I've been reading the comments on a lot of Wilder threads and I noticed quite a few people saying that they didn't like him because "he dances a lot." To hate a fighter because he "dances" when he's excited or happy... Is that a logical point of view?

    Here's a few examples below:

That and his ****** gangsta thug shtick, yes they make him an unlikeable goofball. It's not the type of goofing I can appriciate, others like you do.

    There are a lot more but I'm too tired to go back to those threads right now.

    Have there been any other fighters that were disliked because they loved to dance? I'm curious.

    Two posters say something and that makes it thread worthy? Who cares

      A lot more than two, if you had read the rest you would have figured such.

      I care because I don't recall of another boxer being disliked because dancing was a hobby he enjoyed.

        To be honest it makes me cringe when I see it too. Also hated when RJJ would do it while showing off in the ring. Maybe its a generational thing.....

          I'm just curious, do you also hate when baseball pitchers wear their hat to the side?

            Totally agree, I bet if he was country line dancing everyone would love it.

              No, not really a fan of baseball. Most of the NFL touchdown dance routines irritate me though. Showboating is not my thing, I'm from the Barry Sanders school of thought.

              For clarification I'm not saying I think less of Wilder for his display of emotion. It just not something I can appreciate. That being said, he's entitled to do whatever he wants after a hard earned victory regardless of what fans think.

                This lol.

                He's just trolling as always.

                Wilder is an entertaining fighter, hardley anyone dislikes him, he isn't Broner lol.

                    sure if they hate a fighter for personals reasons thats okay. I mean wtf are we supposed to look at boxrec and only like the successful fighters?

                    GTFOH, hate who you hate, like who you like.
