Hey, that's true. I loved James Toney until Roy beat him and Lacey until he got mangled by Calzaghe.

Personally, I think it has to do with how often they fight. They only fight 4 times a year at most for most fighters whereas with a professional sports team they play at least 16 times in a season. You get to see them more often and they're able to 'recover' after a loss in a few days, if not the very next day. Unless you're a Lions fan.
