    Why do fanboys exist? Not reasonable fans of a fighter, but fans that defend everything about a fighter no matter how ridiculous the argument is, and seem to take it personally when a fighter is criticized, as if they themselves are the ones being criticized.

    I can understand little kids idolizing an athlete, but aren't you supposed to grow out of it when you get older?

    I'm sure a lot of people just do this on the net to get a rise out of people, but I think some people are actually serious.

    It's quite strange, and a little disturbing as well.

    I find it just as strange when grown adults hate and despise certain boxers who will never shape or have any meaningful impact on their lives at all.

    Sad, disturbed weirdos.

    Not just boxers, but pro athletes in general.

    Mitch Williams had his house vandalized for giving up a homerun that lost the World Series.

    There was the soccer player who got killed in Colombia, it was said it might've been for kicking the ball into his own goal, but it may have been something else.

    But I suppose you can say at least those people have actually done something about how they feel. Haters on here just wind themselves up into a frenzy tapping away on their keyboards....;)

    I don't think theres anything wrong with keeping your childhood heroes as something special but I'd question the sanity of a 35 year old man who decides that a 25 year athlete is now going to be his hero, then argues and gets upset with people on the internet because they don't agree with his opinion on how great his hero is.

    It is only acceptable if said fighter has been fighting long enough to be ones child hood idol into adult hood..

    becoming a nuthugging fan of a fighter once one is an adult is well.....absurd

    Theres no comparision whatsoever, I wouldn't get upset if you called her a skank. Its just an avatar, a bit of fun, not hero worship.

    I take it you have some embarrassing man-crush you need to validate?:roll:

    :lol: Are you not aware of who Jack is? Start a thread about Oscar or anyone connected to GBP and he'll be there within seconds!! This stud can be Mid B-J, mouth full of c*ck and if somebody starts a thread about Oscar his client has to wait 15 minutes to finish while Jack pollutes the thread with his man love for the golden hero :lol:
