Fighters with most resilient/ stubborn fan bases

[Master]

Not sure if he still has one but Amir Khans forum used to be comedy gold for unshakable mental Khan fans.

You could literally start Khan v Anyone or anything thread and you'd get some crazy taking it to heart.

For the record, Khan would be too fast for Hulk Hogan, Jaws (the shark or dude from Bond, it doesn't matter) and Steven Segal.

I would ask you why did you even go to the Khan forum.

I am sure Naz forum would have been the same.

It was a thing back in the day. Go to fighters forums and cause trouble, it passed some time.

Without the John Ruiz forum (I think) the immortal line "I had Ruiz ahead against Tua at the time of the stoppage" would never have been born. I think someone here coined it, maybe @Mark TKO or Meunouk.

The Naz forum was Saddo's parent site. You have some respect.

[Mark TKO]

Ha yes . And has been used many times since. I gave Fantana the line for his first article on Khan and how he was ahead prior to Prescott stoppage - it was someone here who used the line re Ruiz dominating the first 19 seconds of the Tua bout. In fact I thought it may be you ??

Fantana since used it re Audley v Haye, Wilder and someone else who kayoed him in first ?

Sigh. Great days

Lord it's been a while since we've seen him Fantana/Menuouk.....next year is always Audley Harrison's year!

Manny Pac has hardcore fans to be sure, but Manny himself has done little to shoo away his fans. Sure, he was annihilated by JMM, and he's been suspected of doping, simply by his refusal to get tested at times. But outside the ring he's pretty much a cool guy, hasn't been caught cheating outright, and he's got some memorable wins on his record. Some of these other guys, meanwhile, do things that would make one's skin crawl... and still they maintain their fans.

A pretty cool guy? He's a Christian fundamentalist saying gays are lower than animals and giving his backing to the death squad president. There are probably nicer people in the world.

The cuban hawk Kid Gavillan; 143 pro fights, never EVER went to the canvas. Now that's what you call resilience.

He has his controversial views.... who doesn't. Credit to him for being outspoken in his views. That being said, at least he doesn't embarrass himself out there like a Mayweather, like a Margarito, like any number of scummy people out there who happen to be professional boxers.

My point in this thread is there are certain fighters out there who could go out and commit mass murder... and their fan bases would STILL back them.
They're "bullet-proof".
