    ***** / ******* logic: If you don't insult Pacquiao (for *****s) or Mayweather (for *******s) then you're automatically considered a ******* by *****s, or a ***** by *******s.


    For example, I told some ******ed **** on YouTube that he DKSAB (the **** said Canelo outboxes and stops Pac) and I was automatically listed as a *******. Upon checking his profile, I saw that he had watched over 200 videos pertaining to FMJ :patsch

    People who don't understand that styles make fights

    This guy beat this guy easily so he must beat that guy logic


    Pacquiao fans who don't agree that Marquez won the third fight.

    Fans who always go on about 43 have tried 43 have failed. 1 name Castillo.

    People who lazily categorize the southpaw stance as a style. It's not a style just because they majority of them happen to be left hand happy fighter! There are still differential styles among southpaws: counterpunchers, boxers, boxer-punchers, punchers, etc.

    Not enough good fights being made, poop undercards, the abused PPV platform, so called promoters who under promote their fighters and the sport as a whole, etc, etc..

    People who get so attached to a fighter that they will stop at nothing to defend/boost him, eschewing logic, common sense and reality in the process.

    Boxing commentators and writers who write with a slant and fail to be objective.

    I simply hate people that talk heaps of **** without knowing anything about the way boxing works. They generalize fighters based on physical attributes, ignore the subtitles and differences in styles, call one fighter the "best" at something while claiming the other has "0" or "no" ability to do it, and worst of all, is shitting on top fighters who worked hard to be where they at and implicitly insulting everyone ranked below them.

    This for me is the worst.

    I wish boxing had an MMA approach to a loss.


    MMA Fans: You lost, but you will try and come back stronger and i still respect you

    Boxing fans: He is a glass jawed hype job who got exposed and i knew it all along!

    Strength and conditioning coaches. I'll be the guy who tells my fighters when to do sit ups, and when to eat a Bannana.

    As mentioned, the effect a loss has on a record. As a sport we should be marketing our most exciting fighters, rather than those who may play it safe.

    Amatuer Boxing. It needs serious changes.

    People who label a fighter shot after 1 or 2 losses, especially a knockout loss, and call for them to retire.

    Holyfield, Jones, Toney, etc should really retire.

    Williams, Cotto, etc are still strong and still top boxers.
    Analyse interviews and type bull**** about Oh he's slurring his words now, must be punch drunk.

    After the recent discoveries of Berto(e) and Peterson, I will have to mention my peeve of fighters who refuse advanced drug tests.
