Is it against the law to like Ward and GGG?

I've always been a fan of both. I do think both of them should have lost close in their last fights though.

2) You don't notice because you really aren't looking for it. You're looking for posts about Golovkin that you can attack. If you want me to tag your name every time I criticize Ward (like his social media approach to the Kov rematch, which I've criticized multiple times) I'll do that for you.
Truthfully, I rarely even criticize Golovkin. I criticize the unreasonable things many of his extreme fans say, but I actually view him pretty favorably right now and think it's an exciting time to be a Golovkin fan because he just fought a decent fighter and it looks like there's some more good fights on the horizon.

As far as who I like, it's a combination of who they beat and how they fight. Style, resume. That's it.
Everybody is different, if you like both GGG and Ward, great. It's not against the rules of boxing to like two rivals with two completely different styles and resumes. Just like it's not against the rules to dislike one fighter and like the other one.
Another thing is when a fighter is hyped up by a large group/consensus in the boxing community, is it warranted? Who did they beat? I look for that. For example the current P4P list excuse for some fighters there is "the eye test", "Do they look good" regardless of their resume. I don't agree with that, so i'm gonna argue against a lot of fighters being there without having to prove it. I don't like free passes cause you got some KO's against low class contenders.
If a fighter clearly ducks, he is not allowing the other fighter to have a chance to beat him, which is a detriment to the sport. The boxing community can only go on the eye test, and you don't respect that, thus the cycle continues.

Yes it is very easy to appreciate both of their god given talents, without all of the crappy rhetorical comments.

I always say this no matter what (even with Keith Thurman's mando): **** mando's.
Of course I don't go by the eye test. It's really backwards to penalize fighters for fighting the best and KO'ing them, while hyping up fighters who are fighting mediocre fighters and KO'ing them.
The more you fight good fighters, the more 12 round fights you're gonna get, and you're gonna look more average, and the less mythical a hyped up fighter will get.
