Why are some fighters who actually fought legit comp criticized..but others

[-Kev-]

People love fighters who haven't proved themselves but look good vs lesser competition. They will also throw the same fighter they were protecting, under the bus when a new up and comer shows up.

A good example is Sergio Martinez, when he was being "ducked", and had no actual good wins, he seemed to be a Boxingscene hero. Other proven fighters around the weight class were being criticized. Then guess what, Martinez had proved himself with Williams, Pavlik, Dzinzuruk, Chavez Jr and the fans threw him under the bus when GGG showed up

Mikey slightly being thrown under the bus as well, in favor of Lomachenko.

I know what you're saying Larry, these posters acting like they don't know but i'm sure they know and are probably guilty of this behavior.

What are you talking about here Larry? Be specific. I know Floyd is involved somehow, but who else?

Before I even opened the thread I knew it was about Floyd lol

Larry's panties get soaked when it comes to floyd.

Why is Vitali held in such high regards? who has he ever defeated worth a damn? all i hear is " head to head" with him

Vitali was a mean sob, he was tough as iron and fun to watch. He wasnt the most skilled fighter ever but his fights were entertaining. His competition isnt his fault, it was a shit era for HWs. Ive said it before there is room in boxing for every style you can imagine. I get the feeling you get irritated that Floyd doesnt get the respect or recognition you think he deserves. A lot of that was a business decision he made probably knowing full well when he made he wasnt going to be loved by the masses. He made himself the heel and it made him the richest boxer in history.

Do you know what 'Chocolatito' accomplished in the sport and who he fought? and before you answer please know your lower weights.

So you're saying if you accomplished a lot in your career you should receive less criticism for stepping up even if you lost? How about no criticism. All boxers should be rewarded boxers for taking chances even if they come up short.

I don't understand how can you be upset that some people have an opinion that is different than yours..
People make threads about people holding different opinion... Smdh..
