    The majority of the people on ESB are PBF fans.....they love to gloat on their heros wins....

    What you need to do is look back & see how many of the ones gloating actually made the correct prediction. If you insist on fighting these people be smart about it. They were quick enough to drag up your old threads.

    Alternatively don't worry too much about it unless you have a real personal affiliation with the opposing fighter. I am a boxing fan first & generally watch for the spectacle. I dont like the way there seems to be a football style, tribal following of fighters coming into the sport.

    I am as huge of a bxoing fan as you will find...I talk about with my boxers I trained, my kids...I love boxing...and ESB eventhough it has it flaws, there's a good % that honestly know the game and make it fun debating them on pure boxing issues...

    You have guys like EZE and others that , as I mentioned, get great exitment when PBF wins..as crazy nas this may sound, I know that PBF is good for boxing, since it brings more attention to the sport, but when you hear the fans talking about him as an TOP 10 ATG, well that;s when I think that the integrity of the game is in jeoperdy...half of these ass holes don;t know nor respect the rich history of boxing and when they make cmments like that it infuriat me..since we need to keep the historic integrity of theis great sport of boxing...

    Okay, so use that fury to try & educate them in a smart way. I've noticed too many discussions on this forum deteriorate into childish slanging matches. You obviously feel passionately about the sport which is good. When someone makes an outlandish, unfounded comment try ro resist the temptation to simply abuse them. Instead calmly inform them of how they are wrong & where possible quote citation that way they have no comeback besides childish abuse which will instantaneously give you the moral high ground.

    I have many times, but this bozos don;t want to know boxing , they just want everyone to give praise to their boy....I am not one of those so they love to discredit even history....

    I ahve started a number of threads for top 50 ATG or 25 ATG, to see how manym of these so call fans have PBF out of location, specially top 25 ATG, and once they start bitchin because you don;t ahve them on the list the start with the name calling...in similar fashion to RJJ fans..which I don;t have on my top 100 ATG....

    I understand your frustration but, unfortunately, it is unlikely you will change these peoples attitudes. We have a term in England you may be familiar with "glory hunter". You get football/soccer fans who suddenly start supporting a succesful team whilst claiming to have always been a follower. I think a lot of PBF fans are the same. Don't get me wrong I think Floyd is a fine boxer & a superb athlete but I am not a fan particularly.

    Some people like to be associated with success, no matter how remote, because they feel it gives them something in the way of reflected glory. It's a bit sad really but when you consider most of these people even can't converse on a remotely intellectual level I prefer to laugh at them rather than allow them to frustrate me.

    Yes, I hear the term many times in England during the Soccer season....you do ahve a point....

    I love the sport, so I fill I have to police it...anyhow....I been a member since 2002 or so....a lot of the good posters left for similar reasons we have addressed, now it is all about popularity rather than content...flash over substance....even the people that we debatge regularly on the oppositte side of the arguments, made it fun becuase it was about boxing....
