The Hater Thread: you can "come clean" here!

[Beanz]

I noticed a trend, the pure boxers generally get a lot of flack and the brawlers are usually well loved.

I think because unless you have boxed people can more easily identify with brawlers. They watch and think, I may not know what I was doing but if push came to shove and I ended up in a ring then at least I could do that and give it my all.
