    I agree with the words of Hatman: 'no fighter is above criticism and no fighter is below praise'. The amount of fan boys running around this forum is crazy, we got guys who are fighter's unofficial accountants (worried about their purse), network representatives (worried about how much ratings and fans their opponent has) and promoter (worried if it sells out or not).

    A side/B side, he should get to walk out to the ring first, he should sit to the right on the press conference table.
    Don't know about some of you guys but I couldn't care less about **** like that, my job as a fan is tune in and support the good fights. Some guys are doing to much, so worried about protecting their guys 0 so much they diminish other fighters achievement and basically diminish good match ups.

    I wanna see the best fight the best period, I don't want mismatches. Tbh any fan who thinks otherwise is not a fan they are just fan boys.
    I don't wanna see Golovkin vs welterweights, Canelo vs a chinny guys, Jacobs vs Mora XII.

    I Want fight like Usyk v Glowacki, Ward vs Kovalev, Lomanchenko v Garcia, Spence v Thurman, Gonzalez vs Inoue.

    I think most here are real fans, that want the real fights and don't care about purses, networks, pension plans, nationalities, if they use a-side or b-side meth, left or right side on the poster and all that cr_p.
    But the ones that are about that usually are a very vocal group, because they're either trolls trying to rile up the actual fans, or are apologists for their favorite fighter's actions outside the ring.

    Well if you think that then your a real fan in my eyes. However not sure I agree with you that there all just trolls or tryna excuse their fighters actions some are actually fair and reasonable when discussing other fighters they just lose the plot when someone is a threat to the guy they believe is the best. Hence the GGG, Ward, Kovalev, Mayweather, Pacquaio fan boys.

    You forgot straight up haters. The guys that will criticize a fighter no matter what he does or who he fights. Any decent opponent he has beaten is now a bum or whatever! Pathetic really!

    Those haters are usually fan boys of someone else who that fighter is a threat too, more often than not.

    number wise most ppl here are fans but post way less then the haters/trolls.
    the sad truth is the haters/trolls keep this place alive, without them this place would be a cemetery...

    Lol what your saying is you think there necessary. The problem is I think real fans can be fans of fighters, I can be a fan of ward and say to GGG fans that your guys gunna get washed but no need to say GGG doesn't deserve to fight ward his a bum with no name on his record, all that other stuff just isn't true or is missing key aspects of it.

    This place is just a microcosm of the world around us.

    Its full of straight out full blown ******s, with only a small minority of people with views worth reading or listening to.

    You're a real boxing fan when you find yourself defending boxers that you're
    highly critical of. I find myself doing that on here a lot.

    I do too it's the point I'm defending guys like Canelo coz people think Brook will stop him and I think Canelo is a crazy ducker. The problem is fan boys honestly make wanna root against fighters you actually like, I find myself wish Ward beats Kovalev even though I like krusher just coz guys talk like ward ain't ****,

    Agreed no one is invincible, every boogeyman eventually gets beaten but you have to admit his been dominant thus far it's just a shame we don't get to see him fight the guys that could test him.

    Most of the manic GGG fans haven't been watching boxing very long. However, you have the entire boxing world focused on GGG. We all want to know just how good he is.
