Comments Thread For: Ray Leonard Feels Today's Boxers Too Fixated on Being Unbeaten

He's right and a lot of that is on the fans. As soon as someone loses they are bums and overrated and have been exposed. It's ridiculous.

Happened with Mayweather/Hatton << ESPECIALLY this one
Happened with Mayweather/Canelo
Happened with Mayweather/Maidana 2
Happened with Mayweather/Pacquiao
Happened with Mayweather/Marquez

They see their fighter getting absolutely embarrassed and then get up and leave early. No loyalty at all.

I know it happened when Steve Robinson fought Naseem Hamed because I was there. And it had only gone seven completed rounds. Bad way to treat a national hero.

AGREE!

I don't know if Leonard is on Social Media but their fans are EVEN WORSE!

Two of my favorite young fighters in your sig gifs, love watching Lipinets and KingRy on those Fight Club cards!

You are so right...Just read any thread on NSB and you'll find multiple examples of what you just said.

That's because Floyd got it in every-bodies heads that having that 0 is the most important thing, and your a bum without it.

Exactly. It's embarrassing, to be honest.

goes for the fans as well once u lose ur a bum

Yes and that is because of the public. Once you lose people turn their back on you. You loose fans and popularity and when you lose that you lose endorsements and money. Once you lose you suck. Period. You are washed up, over the heel, exposed, or you were just never really any good to begin with. Of course, they are scared to death of losing. And it's bull **** that we treat them like that

blame it on the fl0mos/tmt "fans".they are the ones who have that ****** mentality.

[GMAN SUPREME]

It's a huge double standard. People have been trashing Garcia none stop and he only Lost once. But say Marcos Midania can come and clean out the WW division and he has 5 loses. But fans effect the bottom line for sure. You make a great point about the matchups. But that's hard to get out of today's fighters. And that's why Thurman Garcia get respect

lol he would have 3 losses if we actually had fair judges. that's why people hate him that and his ******ed father.

It's not boxers who are fixated on undefeated records but TV networks , promoters and managers who brainwash with that 0 the uneducated in 'sweet science' public .

[deathofaclown]

Absolutely.

I wrote in a thread the other day about this. The boxing fans are so unforgiving if a fighter loses or has a hard fight. That fighter then becomes a bum, a hypejob, exposed etc..

That filters back to the fighters so then they go through their fights and career with a mentality of trying not to lose rather than trying to win.
