Why do people HATE boxers ?

with a lot of the younger esb posters it seems to be based on what there nationality and skin colour is.

 

for the same reasons as people hate each other. boxing is no exception to the rule

 

They are mad because they are fat..and will nevere box...unless its on fight night xbox 360..so they criticize people who put they life on the line.

Jealousy..thats all.

 

good answer.

 

When I Watch Boxing I Dont See Color Or Nationality I'm Watching Skill Level If You Can Bring It I Dont Care Where You From I Just Love The Sweet Science

 

Personalities and prejudices. Some people find Mayweather obnoxious, so they hate him. Some people find America obnoxious, so they hate American fighters. Some people find Calzaghe/Hatton worship obnoxious, so they hate the worshippers. Some people just hate other people of different ethnic backgrounds and so hate fighters that are of that ethnic background. You could go on and on. No shortage of reasons to hate out there.

 

I think Hating and Nuthugging amongst fans is part of a boxing tradition.

 

I think most of us come there because our people get tired of hearing us talk about a Sport that they aren't into as much as we are.

In here I get to vent about something I don't like about the Sport or even a Boxer themselves.

I dislike that SOB Tarver - but if I was to tell a Co-worker - or Family Member - they wouldn't understand.

Most of us have a Boxer that we would love to see KTFO - but at the same time - that Boxer has Fan. So when you express your feeling in here - you're usually going to get someone that comes to their aid/defense.

 

i think it has to do with positive or negative identification.

I don't hate any boxer. I hate some of their fanboys though.

 

Because people by their very nature are assholes. Man will talk about peace love and understanding but will gladly step over anyone and sell them down the river to achieve his own goals. Politicians will talk about the evils of regime X and the benefits of democracy yet are no more than puppets to greater financial instituations with agendas all the while spoon feeding you the belief that you have a choice or are under threat and finally sportmen of every religeon, colour and continental background will knowingly and gladly accept million dollar sponsorships from trainer companies that employ phillipano child slave labour who are paid one bowl of rice a day - welcome to the human race.

 

I definitely dont hate the two glamor boys that I always harp on but I do hate how they rob the sport of its integrity and short change other boxers

 

Exactly! I've been called a nuthugger and hater of the same boxer several times...

 

Point in question stated perfectly, well said sir!
