The "sweet science" hipsters are hypocrites

You spent enough time, thought, and care to make a freaking thread whining about people being inconsistent in their rooting interests. They like who they like. They like what they like. Why in the world would you care so much?

^ I think is what he's saying.

 

You don't seem to recognise the oxymoronic aspect to your post. If they are 'rattling off' the names of clinchers and foulers clearly they are not as hung up on the purity aspect as you suggest. Otherwise they wouldn't like them, because their style is not 'pure'. Ergo, fans of such fighters cannot be boxing purists. It really is very simple. Do you really think fans of, say, Andre Ward don't know that he employs the dark arts of fighting? What this boils down to is, you don't like certain fighters and drafted a post to say this by proxy...

 

I actually thought it was also a good description of Floyd's style too

 

Nobody calls them slick or crafty for head butting or clinching. You guys are mistaken.

 

Terrible generalization! To say everyone that likes the sweet science condones cheating is just plain, flat out stupid! And please stop acting like boxing has never had dirty fighters in it! Let me guess... you wanted Kovalev to win over Ward! I bet you predicted a Kovalev knockout didn't you? LOL you guys never let me down! Still crying about a situation you cannot control! I find that so damned funny! Man you guys really cry a lot and over nothing! But I do enjoy all the cry baby antics!

 

Well I see it like this, if I'm with a group of people talking about boxing and one guy says anyone who likes offensive fighters is a simple minded snob who doesn't understand what he's looking at I would think he was a *** and tune him out. Same applies here

 

This. Soooo this. This describes every single Flo.mo. Not floyd fans but the flo.mos.

 

Who cares about boxing purists? Be a boxing completist instead.

 

You're a genius!!! The first post I wrote after the fight was that Kovalev won! I did predict a Ward victory but, felt Kov did enough throughout the entire fight and landed the harder shots as well, add into the mix, the knock down and I got Kov winning in a tough, scrappy fight! As I mentioned before, I don't think the fight was a robbery but, a close fight! The Kovalev fans should, at the very least admit as much and give Ward a little credit! The fact that the Kovalev fans don't do this and cry and whine about it is what makes me laugh at you guys! The excuses and rage is good stuff. It's like the punkass bully in a Christmas story that Ralphy had enough of and went hog wild on! That feeling of retribution! The fact that many of the Kovalev fans don't know how to cope with his loss is amazing! LOL

As far as Mayweather is concerned, Just bringing up his name automatically polarizes the fans. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing but , he did what he did and fought decent opposition and remained unbeaten. That has to mean something in the boxing world but, there is a contingent of fans that will never give FM his just dues for one reason or another. Anyway, keep making interesting threads!

 

Clinching?
