If Message Boards Were Around 20 Yrs Ago, Who Would Have the Most Annoying Fans?
I got a feeling the Tommy Hearns fans would be like the Judah fans, always making excuses why their favorite fighter just got his @ss whipped!

Re: If Message Boards Were Around 20 Yrs Ago, Who Would Have the Most Annoying Fans?
I'd say Leonard fans. He is an all-time great, but he was the crowd favorite that got all the calls and none of the penalties. He did his thing and noone can take that away from him. His fans however were so annoying then, I rooted against Ray. Great fighter that attracted alot of fans that don't know the sport.

Bullshit, that F****** Gerry Cooney would fill the board with stories about his stupid a** comebacks. At least Hearns and Leonard had talent.
There's a reason he's at the bottom of the list.

Yea, the great white hype did have alot of stubborn fans. But, Cooney did put together a nice run. He was never gonna beat Holmes, with his fans in the ring.

No way imo. When Hearns was beat it wasn't because he didn't show up, it was because he legitimitely lost the fight being a warrior. Judah, no way you can say the same about him and there excuses are just borderline insane sometimes.

Oh Please......Ray Leonard is one of the best boxers of all time.

Re: If Message Boards Were Around 20 Yrs Ago, Who Would Have the Most Annoying Fans?
Mike Tyson, because of his dominance fans would have elevated him to god-like status and would not have listened to a bad word against him.
Also when he got caught doing something wrong you would get the Michael Jackson effect of people who would be unable to admit thatbtheir idol was fallible as Mike turned out to be. (Although not in the ring at first!)

When he did fight Hagler he begged for the fight to be 12 rounds not 15. He than runs the whole fight and gets a gift win. He than begs the WBC to have Donny Lalonde put his Light Heavyweight title on the line for there Super Middleweight fight. All so he can win two titles and say he won 6 titles in 6 divisions.

He's not overrated. And Hearns moved up in weight didn't he and how did he duck a Hearns rematch when he retired twice? And he fought one and then retired again, then he came back and first fight back fought Hagler. I did a whole long post about why these fights didn't happen till 10 years apart but I don't feel like looking for it :(

Leonard is a great, period. We have had a poll before on this site and Leonard was cleary seen as a great by the majority of members on this website.

Ever thought that Leonard was on the decline against Hagler?....
a) he moved up in weight to face the bigger man
b) he hadn't fought in 5 years
c) Hagler wasn't that much in decline, he was active and just had 2 of the biggest wins of his career
He is a great, end off.

Re: If Message Boards Were Around 20 Yrs Ago, Who Would Have the Most Annoying Fans?
It was only a 3 year lay off and Leonard continued to train throughout the duration. Hagler said before the fight that if he won he would have retired so he had made up his mind he was at the end of his career.

Re: If Message Boards Were Around 20 Yrs Ago, Who Would Have the Most Annoying Fans?
Leonard was great, even though I never rooted for him. The reason I say his fans were the most annoying is this, alot of people that thought Leonard beat Hagler, think that Floyd lost to Castillo the first fight. IMO, Floyd's win was clearer than Leonards. Leonard was great, but IMO, him being loved by the public, and Hagler never getting recognition had alot to do with that decision. If the fight was now, I don't think that pity-pat shat would get him a W. Leonard was great, yes. But, his fans were the most annoying.

PBF fans are quicky becoming the most annoying.

Even though I'm a Floyd fan, I agree. Leonard was a good guy who the public adored, that was bad. Now, Floyd is a bad boy, and with todays general public, everyone loves the badboy. And it makes it worse that Floyd has to use that image to help promote. The only good thing about it is that alot of people watch him fight, hoping he will lose. Sells tickets.

Re: If Message Boards Were Around 20 Yrs Ago, Who Would Have the Most Annoying Fans?
You can't compare Hagler Leonard to Castillo Floyd.
Put in the fact how long Leonard was off coming against the number 1 guy and pulling off that upset. Floyd was as active and Castillo was active and Floyd moved up to fight him and won a close fight but everyone expected Floyd to win that fight. NOBODY expected Leonard to win ;)

I agree, but the Floyd done more in the ring against Castillo, than Ray did against Marvin. Just because Ray kept it close, doesn't mean he deserves a win. And, just because Floyd didn't destroy Castillo, doesn't mean he deserves a loss.

Re: If Message Boards Were Around 20 Yrs Ago, Who Would Have the Most Annoying Fans?
What I'm saying is that its easier to notice who's winning or not because everyone expected Floyd to beat Castillo. Nobody expected Ray to beat Hagler they thought it would be a blowout so whatever Ray did offensive or win a round ro anything he did was more then he was expected to do so it was more noticable. Floyd may have done more against Castillo but it was expected so not as noticable. Nobody expected it from Ray. And it was Hagler's own fault for giving away the first 3 rounds of that fight.

true but thats always easy to say in hindsight. Everyone expected Roy Jones to dominate Antonio Tarver the first time, but Tarver put up such an unexpected performance that you have some people who actually think he won the first fight ;D
