    Is like loving a fighter just because of his fans..stupid and doesnt make sense. Choose the fighters you stand behind because of the fighters own person. Not nimwit fans.

    nah sorry , i was a massive groves fan but after seeing the t w a t s that support him i aint being linked in anyway shape or form to them none , groves needs to rematch degale or reitre , where did all them fans go ?


    and well to be a khan fan you have to tell lies , make up facts ,rewrite history , sh it talk about other fighters and take enjoyment in not wanting fellow fighters to earn decent money and did i forget to mention just being a cu nt in general

    I pick my fighters based on their style. I don't "hate" a boxer because of their fans but I will not really support them because of their fans. If I feel someone receives too much love or too much hate, I'll back them up a little. Take Broner for example, I don't like Broner, he's an idiot, but I'll defend him at times. Not because I'm a fan, but because I don't believe he's a bum like people claim. I like Pacquiao, but his fans talk a lot of **** and over-praise him, so I don't bother to praise him because he gets enough of it already.

    Make sense?

    The fan base won't make me "hate" someone.

    Agree 100%. It's really just an excuse for hating the fighter - usually for some butthurt reason - and not being honest enough to admit it. It's completely lame.

    never hated a guy for his fans...but def stopped rooting for them all the time...and turned me off from them....and you know who it is....and its not really his fault...more the people around him...and if his fans didnt go out of their way to discredit another fighter i wouldnt have even cared

    After traveling to wembley for the Froch groves fight i 100% this opinion

    Some of groves's fans were close to ruining the event for me

    my issue with Pacquiao is his fans. I root for him in some fights and against him in others but my main issue is with his fans. They are insane.

    Sadly, fans in general represent a fighter. When you see fans of GGG fainting in awe as he demolished one tomato can after another, you know something is seriously wrong.

    Pac****s turned me off of Pac. I rooted for Pac back in the day against MAB EM in their first fight and against Oscar. Pac****s made it hard to be a fan of Pac because they don't know **** about boxing, never give any fighter an ounce of credit for anything, have nothing but excuses, never address points and make troll threads daily.

    Not really. For a while, Pac fans urked me.

    Before the Marquez KO, everywhere you went(that had to do with boxing) his legion of fans would bombard the place with their broken English and limited boxing knowledge. If they weren't praising Pac, then they were making racist comments towards Floyd and Mexican fighters. It got so bad that I couldn't even watch a Hajime no ippo video on youtube without the random Pac fan slobbering on Pac's nuts saying Pac would kill Ippo in a boxing match if he were real.(seriously, this really happened)

    After that glorious KO, their numbers dropped DRASTICALLY. Ironically, Floyd fans took over and are almost equally bad.

    This is why May 2nd is gonna be judgement day. Either way, the amount of salt will be a thing to behold. I can't wait. :)))

    My issue with Floyd's fans...They support a criminal. I don't know what kind of upbringing they had. Maybe they are used to seeing their father constantly beating up their mother that is why beating up women is just normal for them.
