Not a boxer but PBC fans. Absolute ****ing idiots with their fake news and double standards. Bell ends.

Wilder fans and Floyd fans.
The former are so delusional that anything Wilder says is truth to them even if he says that he likes to get pregnant.
The other has a fanbase that vicariously lives through Floyd and would defend anything negative about Floyd like a mother would defend its own child.Comment

There's nothing delusional in what I said.
It's prizefighting and when you come from nothing in a council estate and you're making the kind of money the guy makes in 36mins - you're winning regardless of the outcome.
The guy lost to Ruiz but ended up tripling his money. Fu..cking scumbag, Eddie Hearn, is going to make $14million as a promoter from the rematch FFS. AJ's cleaning house with the rest of the money (over $100million). That's a win even if he takes a L in the ring.
Truth is just bitter.Comment

Your equation of financial success to winning in boxing is what I find delusional. The logic defies the scoring system of boxing entirely. By your logic, someone like Don King, who swindles boxers out of their money is the real winner. As you said, "Fu..cking scumbag, Eddie Hearn, is going to make $14million as a promoter". He sounds like the real winner according to your (delusional) logic, since he doesn't even have to train or get battered in the ring, bloodied, and knocked down 4 timesThere's nothing delusional in what I said.

Boxing is primarily prizefighting and an occupation to eke out a living. And the "prize" is defined by what you make. Everything you alluded to is legacy, which is completely separate from the essence of professional boxing. If it's solely about legacy - trust me, most boxers wouldn't be turning pro once they see money. They'll strive to achieve greatness in the amateur ranks before turning pro and in the pro ranks we won't have boxers ducking other boxers and waiting for fights to marinate - before maximising their earnings.Your equation of financial success to winning in boxing is what I find delusional.

Professional boxing is entertainment and that's what most of you don't seem to grasp.
Don King isn't a boxer...is he? The scumbag, Eddie Hearn, also isn't a boxer. Stick to boxers.
He got dropped 4x and tripled his money. LMAO. He's winning.Comment

My honest thoughts:
Fury: Literally who has he beat other than Wlad? I suppose Chisora twice and a draw with Wilder?
AJ: Meh, his fans are mostly annoying because UK nationalist fans are just insufferable - he gets a pass because he clearly has the best resume at HW despite the Ruiz loss (Fury lost to Mcdermott #neverforget)
Loma: Very talented boxer, arguably p4p#1 - but a PORTION of his mega fans think he is some reincarnation of Manny/Mayweather and will conquer 140/147. Plus, his fight with Campbell was much closer than they will admit and the judges scores were a pisstake.
Mikey Garcia: Eh, it has died down a lot - again a portion of his fans were claiming he is some ATG before accomplishing anything close to earning that status.
Spence: How the fucc are you going to dismiss multi-weight champions and other boxers who have unified divisions when this guy hasn't even cleared out his own division? Me thinks it's the typical American fans that want so desperately to have a 'star'. Good fighter though, too early to call him p4p though.
Usyk: Big Usyk fan, was a fan before he became 'popular'. Again, he has earned his p4p spot because of his CW domination, but I hate these new fans telling me how he is some CW/HW Loma when in fact if you watched his career he had some very, very close and hard-fought fights. Usyk is the man though, some of the new fans have to calm down though because they will be the first to jump off the bandwagon when he loses at HW. "I never knew him..."
Crawford: Like Loma, only a SMALL PORTION of his fans that think he is undisputedly p4p#1. Both he and Loma are the two best, no need in arguing to the death over who is better than the other and how the other guy is chit. Crawford himself is a good humble guy though, and deserving of p4p#1 like Loma.
Canelo: Respect to him doing what he has done, but I hate the victim complex of a lot of his fans. "Why you hating on Canelo?" Like for real, imagine if GGG was the one who tested positive? He gets more hate than Canelo so you'd think GGG was the one who tested positive and Canelo who got robbed of a rightful W in the first fight.
GGG: Good fighter, but again...why talk about him beating fighters above 160 when you know those fights will never happen, and then when it's suggested he move up you say he doesn't need to move up, despite saying he COULD go up and win?
Off the top of my head....Comment

Canelo fans are out of the fkn minds right now. I've seen nothing like it
It's like he didn't dope and can do no wrong.Comment

He didn't win. He was financially successful, but he didn't win the boxing contest, the fight part of prizefight. You seem to want to leave that part out.

A winner in boxing is determined by knockout or judges cards. Judges score based on punches landed moreso than dollars earned. Income does not determine a winner in boxing.
When you get in the ring, your job is to hit the opponent and not let them hit you. If you get in the ring just thinking about collecting a check, you end up looking like AJ did...
