    Yep, that's frickin' annoying :yep

    The most annoying in boxing is seeing one guy clearly winning the fight, while the other fighter gets the nod for being better connected/home fighter/the bigger name/corrupt judging etc. History of boxing has been rife with this sh*t, and many wins in big fights have gone to the losing fighter.
    And to add insult to injury, many "boxfans" and press alike act like it was actually deserved because they just like the "winning" fighter more.

    Also ducking of the biggest challenges inside their own division. It has become so much worse with the multiple belts and the watering down of the importance of a single belt. Worse is when the orgs actually allow it from one fighter (same country/big name/powerful promoter) and strip another one for spraining his ankle in the buildup to a fight for instance.

    Golov****s making threads about his "shifting" prowess

    Nationalistic fans in general who only support fighters because of their race (which sums up most of the eastern-euro nuthuggers on here)

    African american fighters who go on about how **** their childhood was and how tough life used to be and how that somehow makes them a better fighter.

    Especially when they are sitting on million of dollars now when others had the same childhood and an even worse adulthood (if they even made it to adulthood)

    That's not restricted to Americans, Anthoney Joshua uses that as a selling point to get ghetto thugs on board, even though he was privately educated and lived in the suburbs.

    Some of the trash talking boxers do is worse than you get on wrestling. Always kills me.

    On this board however...where to starts? The below 3 phrases make me want to pull my eyes out

    "Pac****"
    "Duckweather"
    "Triple Duck"

    Despite not being remotely funny, they're not even clever...

    When fighters say they're not making any excuses and then immediately proceed to make excuses.

    Excessive clinching going unpunished, basically the cancer of the sport.

    80% of the official scorecards.

    Pacquiao fanatics.

    Bap the builder Arum.

    Seeing a fighter repeatedly lunging in and throwing a one-two-clinch combo while the ref does jack **** and just breaks them up 500 times over 12 rounds.

    Refs who don't do **** when half a fighter's thrown punches are low blows, kidney punches and rabbit punches.

    Shameless promotion of ****ty fights.

    "Super Diamond Special Emeritus of the Decade" belts.

    etc etc etc
