    what kind of fan are you in the upcoming fights. i'ma give you an example using Cotto vs Marg in some of these since it was a recent fight describing each fan.

    Bandwagon fan: your a fan of the figther because he's the next big thing until he lose. fight night came Cotto had more fans in his bandwagon than Marg. after the fight it was like Cotto bandwagon got caught on fire and fans abondon that ***** and jump in Marg bandwagon.

    Loyal fan: scenario, you think your fighter going up against this fighter, he's gonna get destroyed. but you ride with him thru the good times and the bad times until he done boxing. you will always cheer for him to win even when winning not logical

    Neutral fan: either fighter can win it ,it dont matter to you or you like both fighter you can't choose

    fan:i like him going into this fight he's cool i'm go with him to win.

    Sidenote

    Me watching that Cotto Vs Marg fight made me a fan of both because of how hard they tried to win. so i'm fan of theirs now not just because of i'm fan of the sport

    I like Cotto because he's a good boxer & he's a humble guy. I think he's good for the sport, but I bet on Margo in their fight. I still feel the same about Cotto but I'm actually a Clottey fan. I would like to see B-Hop win & I picked him but I don't think he can beat Pavlik at 60 years old. Now 20 years ago. . . I like Roy in the Calzaghe fight. I like Peter. I don't know why I'm picking in the WWE match with DLH/Pac but if Oscar doesn't stop him . . . use your own judgement. I could care less about Tarver/Dawson.

    neutral fan-anything can happen esp in boxing. sometimes u see something special in a fighter that he can use to beat another fighter, like pieces to a puzzle. like in rocky when apollo's trainer saw rock hitting those ribs and he was trying to get apollo to watch but apollo just underestimated him. ex: when i saw manny the underdog take apart lehlo ledwaba who was the fav i knew he was gonna give mab trouble and possibly upset. i also didn't feel tito could beat b-hops cuz i had seen b-hops dismantle and even harder puncher in antwun echols in his prime with just one hand! i just let the fighters fists do the talking

    Neutral. I root for upsets a lot.

    I still have favorites and will root for Hopkins but him getting put away is a nightmare but has been happening for a while

    Loyal fan look most people see Shane losing to Margarito and Roy losing to Calzaghe in my head I dont even see it being possible. Id find a way to pick Shane to beat Wlad thats how much I love my guys I stick by them no matter what. Barrera to im not thrilled about him signing with King but ill always support the man.

    Loyal fan who can also be Neutral. But I can also be a bandwagon fan at times I must admit. I didn't know or care much about Margo but he instantly became one of my favorite fighters after he beat Cotto.

    yea alot of people gave Mosley a good chance to beat Marg until he fought Mayorga. now people counting him out and saying he shot and gone get knock out.and that might be true but i guess that what seperate the fan from loyal fans. the loyal fan say shane all the way. me neutral i like both

    i'll have to say I'm loyal fan of Mayweather rather he decide to come back or not. through all of what some people say he cherry picks, the safety first style, boring fight. mayweather some how still exciting to me,thats my opinion

    I consider myself a boxing fan 99% of the times ..... sometimes I might jump and cheer for a boxer that I have never seen fighting before, but that doesn't mean that I am jumping on the Bandwagon.... I might not cheer for him the next time.... I don't consider myself a "Loyal Fan".

    There is nothing wrong with being "Loyal", the problem is that some posters become obsessed, and therefore they can't accept the facts when their favourites boxers lose..... and they end up being FANATICS.

    LOYALIST is a nice word, It could mean good, but is also very close (border line) to FANATIC, in the sense that both might end up behaving the same way..... and that is denying the facts even if they are crystal clear.....

    I just try to be as neutral as I can....
