Hating fighters, why do some people do this?

. . . . because of insecurities. It's either the other fighter is much more known and hyped than their or the other fighter is a threat to their idols.

. . . . these are not the true fans of the sports but merely a nuthugger of some particular fighters.:yep

 

It almost seems as if some people only watch boxing PURELY just to hate a particular fighter... The amount of effort that goes into bringing them down :-(

 

I have serious contempt for Floyd because while he insults the sport and it's history by claiming to be THE GOAT, he has cherry picked and avoided fighters at every weight class. On top of that? He's a loud mouthed jerk, who portray's his background and persona much differently than it really is.

The path he walks? Is EVERYTHING THAT'S WRONG ABOUT BOXING THESE DAYS!!! It's a shame too because he undoubtedly has great skill and perhaps could deserve mention with true ATG's, if he stopped the bull**** and took the tests that could prove him a real and great Champion.

I hope it's not too late. I would rather congratulate and appreciate him as a fighter, than criticize a P4P myth based on hype and specualtion, INSTEAD OF RESULTS.

 

Because the idiots think that they are fighters themselves. "The Type Writer Warriors* If I dislike a fighter it would only be because of their personality but never because of their talent or what they do in the ring..Tell me 1 **** talker in here would would go 3 minutes with a professional boxer...please its sad..boxing is 100% blood and guts it doesn't matter HOW you fight its nasty no matter what..You get brain damage in this sport..there ain't nothing pretty about it...He who hits and runs away lives to fight another day - willy pep..he moved round the ring and ran a whole lot....241 fights...the man had more balls than anyone in this forum put together!!!!

 

He definitely had issues and you might cringe if your daughter was dating him, but on the positive side, for half a decade , he WAS boxing to the casual fan and was the most exciting fighter to any fan. Even well past his prime, he still generated much excitement.

 

i get mad at most ppl tht post on ESB i mean yea i dislike some fighters but not hate... but i hate how these ppl on here talk big sht about fighters tht they couldnt last 1 minute with in the ring.... i have the utmost respect for all pro boxers because its the toughest sport on the planet... but some ppl dont see it tht way they like to talk the sht.... its stupid

 

We are all free to express here in ESB what our thoughts about these fighters, but the only problem is because there's a lot of nuts and crazy fans here than lover of this sport.

 

Well said. The amount of name-calling, vile comments, and malice ("I hope ______ gets KTFO'd and has brain damage") towards boxers on this and other boards amazes me.

 

I think just about everyone is a role model to someone, whether you are aware of it or not. I know my young nephews watch me and take note of the things I do and say, so I try to watch my behavior and language around them. I don't think someone should look at a person as a role model just because they are famous, but lots of people do. It's not right, but it happens.

 

Its down to the Internet allowing idiots anominty when they post. They don't feel the need to censor themselves as there is no comebacks anyway.

 

I wouldnt describe it has hating, but more for the very same reasons you mentioned above. Just some people are more ignorant than others when describing their dislikes about a fighter, and the actual meaning of hate.

 

Hate is a good healthy natural emotion.

People will always hate things.

Why not boxers?
