Things boxers have done that made you a fan or hate them

Lol don't hold back tell us how you really feel.

No fighter is free from criticism but you seem to have taken that a little too far.

 

the problem with this idiot was not his arrogance, but that he had nothing to back this arrogance. And when he could have shown that his arrogance was not only the acts and words of an idiot, he got beaten by marco antonio and retired as the ***** he has always been.

One of the most disgusting personas in boxing.

 

Bellew, was a bit unsure on him at first, winning his fight against Makabu, smashing Haye and seeing him on ALOTO he’s just a bloke who managed to better his family through boxing.

 

I was somewhat rooting for Khan during his comeback in 2013 and 2014. He signed a new deal with SHO to rebuild(I was a big SHO fan), changed trainers and moved up in weight. I rooted for Collazo to beat him but I was super hyped for that fight.
Khan then beautifully schooled Devon and I was basically a fan(despite enjoying Peterson and Garcia beat him up).

But then his ego once again shined and he went on some cancerous PR run. Flat out lied that the Floyd fight had been signed.
I swear Khan had the Floyd fight on the table but he could not just keep his mouth shut. For my money, Floyd "ducked" Khan just to get back at him for all of the BS that was said.

Office Hancho did a nice recap on this as well(just found it):

Also a really really nice guy. Always comes across as an absolute gent and a kindly spirit. I can't help but like him.

 

I didn't mind Canelo for a while ...

Then he asked Khan to fight for the MW title / ducked and aged GGG.
There was that whole ''Canelo weight'' for a while.
Finally fighting GGG, he clearly lost, then acted hard done by with the scores despite being gifted a draw. At this point he clearly has no integrity.
Then ducking GGG/ageing some more.
Hydration clause on Fielding which messed him up.
Then the PEDs bust for the GGG rematch.
Then rematch obvious PED performance where he never tired for 12 rounds of action despite being a known gasser due to his bulk/height ratio.
Then acting like the series was decided off of a narrow card win in the second fight.
Then acting like Golovkin needed to earn a trilogy fight and/or didn't deserve it.
Hydration clause on Jacobs.
Then putting a short recovery/camp after the Yarde fight and a hydration clause on Kovalev.
Then fleeing 175lb, proving he'd been picking on a vulnerable champ after draining him further.
Then trying to put a short camp on Plant (failed).
Then Smith having to find out he got the fight by going on Twitter at the time of the announcement (messing with Smith's prep), another short camp, trying to hydration clause Smith (failed).

And finally, breaking Saunders' orbital socket and cheekbone with one punch, ridiculous roid power for a guy who couldn't hurt Cotto not too long ago. Now, on the small chance it turns out the Saunder's injury was inflated as some claim, this one can be modified. But the rest of the list still demonstrates Canelo's character very clearly.

 

Spence, drink driving

 

Probably no boxer specifically.
However, it's a bit annoying when fighters claim to be in their best shape ever pre-fight, then come up with lame excuses after they lose. 'Training camp wasn't ideal'.
'I had a head cold a week ago'.
I had a shoulder problem a month ago'. Etc etc

 

This I think was most shameful thing. His fans had bought it with a glance.
Bulked up WW who wasn't considered as physically powerful even at WW for title fight at MW, damn.

Yeah, this was predictable as hell outcome fight.
I think if Kov then had not Canelo fight but fight No2 vs Yarde, Yarde too had finished Kovalev, most likely earlier.

. Yeah.

 

Manny "Mah Sholda Wasah Haat" Pacroids Career Review:

Built an entire Career off of fighting Floyd's leftovers:
Manny's "Amazing Win" Over Oscar "FishnetStockings" De La Hoya:

Pacroids, fought Oscar AFTER Floyd beat him, when Oscar was a totally washed up 35 years old, not satisfied Manny even drained the Floyd leftover De La Hoya to 147. Floyd beat Oscar at 154, un drained, on the back of wins and When Oscar was 34, "the Golden Boy of Boxing" all on Oscars terms, Manny beat a washed up drained and beaten version AFTER Floyd, yet they say Floyd cherry picked Oscar and Manny beat a legend ?

Manny's "Amazing Win" Over Ricky "The Deadly British Bulldog" Hatton:

After Floyd beat an Undefeated (45-0, 32 KO) Champion in Ricky Hatton, *******s said Hatton was flat footed, cherry picked, too slow and Floyd was ducking other tougher fights. Floyd destroyed him, pretty much ended his career and hype. Years later, Manny as always scoops up yet another Floyd Leftover in Hatton, now a beaten man, low on confidence, wins and people say "WOW Pacman KO'd a British Legend so easily ! Amazing win ! Pacman always fights the best !" But when Floyd beat him before this and he was undefeated ??? IF THIS WASNT ENOUGH MANNY DRAINED HATTON TO A CATCHWEIGHT 140lbs lmfao , but Floyd beating Hatton at his normal weight when undefeated was a cherrypick ?

Manny's "Amazing Win" Against the Legendary Shane "Prime at 39" Mosley:

After Floyd beat the dangerous 38 YEAR OLD Mosley, despite being wobbled by him twice, people said Mosley was a cherry pick, he was over the hill, way past his prime and that it was an obvious and easy win for Floyd because Mosley was soooo Old at 38. A Year later Manny Beats a 39 YEAR OLD MOSLEY !? and fans say "Wowwww Pacman beat a legend ! Mosley is still fast and powerful but the brilliant Pacman beat him, Pac always fights the best guys in their primes, unlike Mayweather (Who ironically beat the same Mosley a Year Earlier ?)

Manny's "Epic Trilogy and Brave KTFO Loss" To Manuel "the pee drinker" Marquez

Pacroids vs Marquez 1 + 2

In 2004 Manny faced of against the talented Mexican Marquez, he couldn't control him, got tagged a few and drew. Rematch 2008, once again gets dominated by Marquez, won the 10th round at best but of course like many of Pacroids Robberies he was given the W (He lost and we all know it). Pacman was done with Marquez, he had robbed him and didn't want any more parts of the dangerous Marquez.

Floyd vs Marquez

Fast Forward to September 2011, Floyd comes out of retirement, and decides to face the dangerous Marquez, Floyd absolutely dominates him, a decisive win, an easy win, never looked in any doubt, no robbery just beat him fair and square, easy work. Fans say Marquez was flat footed an easy choice and another cherry pick.....

Pacroids vs Marquez 3

Manny once again struggles with the guy Floyd made look simple, Pacquiao escaped with ANOTHER controversial majority decision, and much of the crowd booed the final decision.
Thus, we prepare for a fourth fight between these two future Hall of Famers.

Pacroids vs Marquez 4

Manny gets knocked out by the Floyd leftover, in one of the most devastating KO's ever seen in boxing history, his silly wife and half of the Phillipines are in shock and tears and think Pacroids is dead, due to his stiff motionless body, nose pressed firmly into the canvas and not even the usual groggy attempt to stand up we normally see from KO'd fighters, Manny is literally fast asleep. All this by a guy Floyd schooled with ease a year earlier lol. Fans say "Wow Manny is so brave ! he robbed a guy twice then got KO'd by him , that what boxing is all about, Manny always fights the best, all the greats get KO'd stiff into the mat in their primes, it's part Of BEinG aN aLl TiME LeGenDD".

All of these mutual opponents is 99% of what got people wanting Manny vs May, Arum and his team conveniently did not point out the catchweights, drained fighters, cherry picks, and fact that 99% of Pacs big wins were just hollow beaten old fighters that Floyd had taken the souls out of years before, the narrative was simply PAc iS BeAtINg ThEm aSwell aNd Worrseerr hE caN DeSTroy FloYD ! But somehow they also pushed the narrative that Floyd was cherry picking, in that case if he was ... WHAT WAS PAC PICKING !? the chewed up seeds of the cherries after Floyd had finished them off ?

Manny Pacman "Excuse's and Lies" The complete compilation:
The Excuses for the times he has been KO'd Stiff, Lost, Dominated or Outclassed:

1. In the lead up to the Floyd fight, Pacroids was on numerous Youtube channels, destroying heavy bags with both hands, destroying sparring partners, ripping RIGHT HOOKS into a heavy bag, doing that bull**** "pup pup pup" nonsense he does to show off his "blistering speed", doing multiple pushups, lifting weights, waving his arms around, smiling and waving with both arms during every press conference, showed fast feet, power in both hands, not a single grimace of pain, constantly stating "ah am redy foh da fyte and ah am in eh gret shayype, I neva fell soo good, ahaha he want tuu fight mee !?", 90 minutes before the fight there was a document brought through asking him if he had ANY INJURY'S TO STATE, he stated he was 100% fit.
2. Then on the way to the ring, he was again smiling, waving and taking damn selfies. He looked fine in the ring, from the 1st round he was swinging and missing just fine, like all of Floyds opponents, he routinely dived in with looping right handers and combinations, he had Floyd on the ropes several times and was ripping into his gloves and elbows with ZERO signs of pain or hesitation, in between rounds NOT ONCE did Freddie cocroach or any of his team ask him how his shoulder felt, cutman never massaged it, he never complained, he came out every round, guns blazing, chasing thin air and getting nailed with check hooks and counter right hands, he looked fine for 12 whole rounds, in his post right interview, there was no sign of pain nor any mention of his "bad shuldahh" he just hilariously stated "I thot I wahn di fytee" much to Kellermans amusement, nobody came over medically to comfort his apparently "severely torn right rotator cuff" which after miraculously throwing over 420 punches with for 12 rounds, you would imagine would be sore as hell atleast ? I mean by that point your arm would feel like it was falling off lol, an hour or so passes, he meets with that scum bag arum and suddenly re-emerges with some bull**** sling thing on his shoulder, massaging it and looking sad , then timidly states some rehearsed line about "I hatt it 3 yr ago , i mean 3 weeks ago maybe in dah 3rd round and ah took 3 day off dah trening and bla bla bla bla bla" YOU LOST, DEAL WITH IT LIKE A MAN.
3. When he lost to Erik Morales in their first fight, he said he lost because he wasn’t focused, because he had to wear winning gloves instead of Ceto-Reyes gloves, and because they took blood from him a few days from the fight making his arm weak and his head dizzy. Taking small amounts of blood doesn’t make you weak look at the Floyd Mayweather vs Sugar Shane Mosley fight HBO 24/7 captured the random blood testing on film and both fighters never showed any sign of being weakened from it.
   
   
4. When Pacquiao fought Juan Manuel Marquez in their first fight he was given a DRAW, and his excuses for not finishing Marquez in the fight after knocking him down 3 times were; he bought cheap thin socks from the 99 cent store and they caused blisters on his feet and broke his hand early in the fight. if that were really true why didn’t Manny acknowledge to Freddie Roach that his hand was hurt? The only time I saw Pacquiao grimace in pain was when Juan Manuel Marquez kept landing straight right hands on his face. The real reason he looked horrible was because Juan Manuel Marquez is a better boxer than him and was beating him badly.
   
   
5. When Marquez Knocked him out cold, he later stated that he may have "lost his hunger due to religion and hurting people is not Christian." Then it was, "Politics is very stressful in da Fillipines"

 

I think he heard about Pac's legendary generosity, wrote Pac a sob sorry letter asking for financial assistance, but Pac just ignored him.

 

Wilder vs fury 2 gained a huge amount of respect for wilder

Then he lost it with the excuses

 

Props for this, whilst Spence obviously paid for his folly with his own injuries, he should count his blessings every night that he did not hit a pedestrian or another vehicle. I've seen horror stories of generally decent people who make an ill-advised decision to drink under the influence (usually due to convenience) and have killed a child or something that they, and all the famillies involved never recover from.

Absolute madness, and far worse than PEDS or other crap that we routinely give boxers crap for - IMO.

 

wow

firstly, I don't give a shlt about things that fighters do outside the ring... e.g. Kovalev's drinking/molesting/etc
some of the worst scumbags imaginable plied their trade inside the squared circle

Kovalev... was a monster, a excellent fighter...
... but I told everyone that Ward would beat him

Margacheato... was a dirty piece-of-shlt... glove-loading is the very worst offense that a boxer can commit...
... there is no coming back from that, and no redemption... he is a piece-of-shlt for life

Mayweather... the consummate professional...
... if you love boxing, but do not like Mayweather... then you caught feelings, and your feelings over-ruled your love for the sport

Mickey Ward
I like boxers, boxer/punchers... Erik Morales for example... I respect all fighters, but mainly respect skills...
... Mickey Ward was scary tough... the dude had a HUGE heart and a iron will... he did not need to say a single thing to gain me as a fan

 

same

I used to be a big pacfan... but there was so much bullshlt with Manny I went right off him... killing a super-fight by refusing random blood tests was absolutely ridiculous, and all that weight manipulation disrespected the sport and his opponents

a few things... Pac did not roid to beat Morales, those issues started immediately prior to the Diaz fight... he beat Morales clean, and he beat Barrera clean... Morales/Pacquiao I, is one of my favorite fights... that was an amazing performance by Morales... and Pac did not duck Mosley until he looked shot vs Mayweather, because he would not fight Mosley then either... they waited until after the Mora fight before they would fight Mosley... fcuk Margarito, I don't care what Pac did to him... there were MANY problems with that fight, but using 8oz gloves is by far the worst... no idea how that happened

I like Donaire... outstanding fighter, and super-classy guy... he has balls of steel for going after Inoue at this point in his career
