Your Boxing Pet Peeves

Why don't you just answer with the word Floyd!:dead

 

I agree and the misinformation and lying they spew, Hes not a WW yet hes not a LWW, what the **** is he? create a new division

 

hmm says... good ones..

~fans that try to find excuses to discredit a fighter's win

~fans that assume immediately fighters are scared and ducking when the issue is with numbers/money

~apparently it's who's scared, cherrypicking, and ducking week

 

Fans who write fighters off after one loss with no real reason to.

 

I would say fans discussing that a fighter shouldnt fight another fighter b/c they are not big enough PPV draws. That is annoying b/c in what way does that help us as fans.

It's also annoying when fans say someone has no chin b/c they have been stunned in their career, but never KO'd

 

-Modern day obsession with "0" in the L column.

 

THIS, when slightly past their best 'legends' keep fighting each other in 'superfights' that nobody actually cares about, but they get more attention than the rest of the sport combined anyway

 

Who are you? Larry ****ing Merchant himself?:think

 

You mean like Pin-Head Rico does?

:rasta

 

Fighters who wear skirts.

 

Excuses for a loss.

Mismatches.

People who think Teddy Atlas was Mike Tyson's trainer.

Fighters being called all time great after only a title defense or two.

 

biggest one EVER

TV fights when both fighters wear the same color trunks....for the most part they are the same size...color....trunks too? makes for BAD TV!!

 

The fact that somehow, within the fairly (to me anyway) recent past, referees started indicating an area where low-blows occur. When I boxed (and well after that), low blows were BELOW the belt - the belt-line was legal (to hit).

 

hmm says... the word "pet peeves" instead of "shiet that annoys you"

 

Boxing not being a Federalized sport.
Which all the following could be contained in that one sentence:

10 Point must system - anyone ever seen a 5 point round?
Judges and refs having no official training on how to EXACTLY what they are supposed to do.
Commentators biging up whom ever their employer has on contract.
Lack of instant replay calls.
Lack of tie bouts. Go back to 10 Point must system.
Lack of winner takes majority of the $. 65/35.

The racism that is promoted in boxing.
IE that includes Nationalism.

Every boxer thinking he has to have a cool nick name like WWE.

plus others ...
