People assume that. I guess they are quick to judge

Liking one boxer is automatically synonymous with hating another to some people. Like if you give Floyd props on something then you're viewed as a ***** and a pac hater, and vica versa. Or if you give a boxer like Floyd critisism then you're a hater and automatically a pac fan by some peoples logic.

And it's not just Floyd/Pac. If you say something bad about a Klitschko then you're automatically a Brittard. It's ridiculous. I'm a boxing fan, I don't have a favorite fighter, most of the time I don't care who wins and usually go for the boxer I think is better. There will be the odd occasion I'll root for a fighter like Froch or Rigondeaux.

My point is that all this *******/*****/Brittard/Hater/fanboy **** is annoying and bad for the sport. Are there any real boxing fans out there?

You're preachin to the choir bro.. It's funny, I've been called a ***** and a ******* just for speaking my mind, in reality I used to really like both fighters a lot until the whole "*******" vs "*****" jack ass movement took off, now I find myself wishing the worst on both guys. IMO REAL Boxing fans don't go around hating other fighters.. especially boxing fans that actually go to the gym and put in work because we understand and respect what they go through both in the ring and outside of it while they're in training.. Real fans keep it objective and unbias as possible even if it means admitting flaws or losses to their favorite fighters.

deal

Froch isn't very skilled and Rigondeaux has a suspect chin.

I ain't scared.

i made a thread like this in another forum years ago. i pointed out that there are fight fans and fighter fans. i am a fight fan....but i guess i started out a fighter fan. i was learning the sport before i actually watched it. ali and roberto duran were the two fighters that brought me to the sport...once their careers passed....i searched out the next star....then over time, i learned to love boxing through watching and participating.

there are some fighters that i appreciate more than others....but i respect them all. i also see through their bull****. i would not categorize myself as a ******* or a *****. i've pointed out what i believe to be bull**** by both. i was rooting against both in their last fights because i believe the fight between them is/was made out to be something that i don't believe it ever was....the greatest fight in all of boxing. both are guilty of strategically picking opponents. both are good. i'm just ready to move to the next wave of talent.
