You just have to look at Hagler and Hearns and you know they were warriors, they were MEN. Looking at Quillin and Lee is like looking at kids by comparison.

Boxing fans ruining boxing

Go back to the months after KTFO6. You will find page after page of civilized discussion in just about every thread even the Pac or May related threads. You think it's a coincidence that when Pacquiao fanboys went into hiding for six months the quality of discussion on here went way up? I don't.

Compare the Lee - Quillin fight from last Saturday with two fighters afraid to engage each other with one of the greatest MW championship fights of all time and it is easy to see what is ruining boxing today. We have gone from warriors who were afraid of nothing, afraid of no other fighter, not afraid of having a loss on their record, not worrying about how much money they were getting paid... to fighters afraid to mix it up, who won't throw a punch because they are afraid of getting hit back and worrying more about their bank account than being in a great fight for everyone to appreciate and that may go down in history.
We have gone from warriors to wusses.
There's no sound on earth like the one you hear at a big fight when two men just come out and go to war like that.

Pacquiao has a lot of fans that know nothing about the sport and follow him just because of nationalism. This site seems to ban the ones that start bringing up race quick but i'm guessing it's hard to keep up. Youtube comments are always full of racist crap, you can watch a video of a giraffe eating leaves and find racist arguments in the comments.

i hate going to SHO or HBO's boxing page and seeing Floyd getting ripped to shreds. If you're rooting for Pac that's okay but you don't have to start calling him a ***** or phaggot and other colorful language.
it makes me root against Pac even more. I want to see what all these people will say after Pac loses.
