I have a bias against obviously manufactured products even if they seem to have justification for the hype. Joshua springs to mind here. I have a bias towards guys whom no one seems to like or give any respect to yet who are obviously not nearly as bad as they seem, eg Fury and Bellew.
I'm Asian and I think I have no bias towards any fighters with any race, nationality or style. At least what I know of lol. I might root for fighters I like based on those, but generally it doesn't affect my scoring. I have Gonzales and floyd clearly outpointing my Asian brothers. I have kovalev and GGG squeak by ward and Jacobs. My fav is morales and I have Barrera best him 2-1. I have ward p4p above GGG and kovalev in current and all time sense. May be I have bias against bitc*es, but I have just taken ward off that list since he agree for the rematch. But wilder is still in there for failing to test himself and in a smaller scale, GGG and canelo for stalling the negotiation for their fight.
I genuinely believe I'm the only poster in this site with no bias. I was once a fan of Pascal, Froch, Valero and Haye but that was years back and i doubt anyone still posting was around back then. For the last 5 years or so I've been a fan of underdogs and upsets more than any individual fighters. I see many posters arguing black is white to defend their fighter. I've seen many criticise moves by others but defend when their fighter does the same. I've not seen any posters in ages who share my lack of bias. Tonight I want Crolla to win as he's the underdog. But if he has a defence against Matthews I'd want dirty Derry to turn the trick. I like a good upset. No more, no less.
Biased against roid cheats and those who make out that they are campaigners against roid use. They will do interviews telling the world how there is no place for cheats, yet when finished are injecting all kinds of hardcore anabolic substances into their bodies. Examples being Floyd Mayweather, Joshua, Wilder, Errol Spence, Jacobs, Shane Mosley, Evander Holyfield and Roy Jones Jr.
Biased against fighters that try to fool the fans that they are the best, but always take the easier route. I understand this is prizefighting, you gotta take the bigger paychecks, but at some point, you have to face the best. Waiting for the potential rival to get older, slower, weaker, and then you still want credit? You might fool casual fans, but eventually even they'll find out.
True,I appreciate guys like Floyd,Rigo and other defensive minded fighters but give me GGG,Kova,Walters like fighters anyday. Loma is the perfect blend of both.
I like all styles from the defensive wizardry of Mayweather to the body attack of Pacquiao, don't forget the savage power of Kovalev to the lay on the ropes and do nothing style of Kevin Johnson...!!!
The more popular a fighter becomes, especially ones where their accomplishment doesn't merit the praise and ranking of a large group of followers, the more likely I am to find myself rooting against him. Sure, one could say that is exclusively opinion and based on what I myself happen to see/hear/read. And they'd be right. I find myself not rooting for and heavily doubting the young boxers packing big power on the way up. Too often they are "exposed." And generally I find smooth less powerful boxers more relatable (apparently not a word; seems like such a good one too).
