I feel this is the case a lot of times.
People will moan and criticise a fighter many times for things that person is reported to have said, rather than on what we have actually seen and heard him say.
With Amir, people will tell you how arrogant he is and yet nobody can produce a video to really show his arrogance is any different than any other fighter who believes in his ability.
Kelly Pavlik has had some stick on here of late for comments he is supposed to have made regarding the Super Six Tournament but have we actually heard him ourselves?
And it happens a lot with many fighters. Somebody produced an article or news report of what they have said or done, and then they get judged and criticised for it, but we never actually see the interview ourselves, or know the context.
Anyway from now on I'm going to try and judge a fighter soley on the comments I hear him make rather than comments that somebody says he made, or some article quotes him as saying.
