    Well...its pretty easy to hate...there is always a reason to find... to stick to your boxer not only through the ups,but more importantly through the down... thats hard...I'm a Sturm fan and when he was knocked out by Castillejo I was devastated and I really didn't need what some of the members here posted afterwards...actually it was something what Starr(wherever she might be right now...)said that made me feel a bit better...So just remember when you put again hate on a fighter it should be reasonable...everything else is just disrespectful for the fans...

    It does a little especially when people say Kosta was shot, Castillo shot, Maussa bum etc.

    I just wanna say to everyone as well I'm a massive Hatton fan though I love boxing in general. I especially love British domestic fights involving Carl Johansson, Esham Pickering etc on Sky and do RBR's for them from time to time. I woke up at 3AM to watch Pavlik-Taylor 2, if I was just a Hatton fan why would I bother getting my ass up at 3AM ?? JT Rock stated "Lefty is a Hatton fan not a boxing fan". Thats bullshit. Thats like saying Danny G is only a Cotto fan or ds91 just a Hopkins fan just because we have our favourites. Why don't I have an account on the Hatton forum ?? I'm also a massive David Haye fan. I'm even a big Amir Khan fan (Though his opposition sometimes irritates me) and I'm a Michael Katsidis fan. Ask ICB me and him had a big debate over who has the better record, Khan or Froch. That comment from JT wound me up but I'm over it now. I know I dislike Mayweather but I admire his skill and respect his game, I've said that a couple of times before.

    So true lefty

    worst thing i ever did was signing up with this username as people now automatically assume im gay for hatton and will defend the guy at every corner.

    Id like to believe im subjective enough to criticise even someone like hatton who i travelled a good 100 miles and spent silly amounts of money just to see him fight saturday.

    Great fighters who you have an affiliation for will come and go over the years, the sport of boxing however will be here when we are all long gone and its natural to wanna savour every single great fight/fighter just as much as the next man.

    Tyson haters would throw me off my feed. More so the ones who didn't follow boxing and just hated him because it was fashionable to diss him at cocktail parties.

    I can't even bring myself to support a fighter who is well liked by people on this forum.

    I'm antagonistic by nature and so automatically gravitate to those fighters who other's despise, Floyd, Froch, Margarito, Mayorga etc.

    Fighters like Winky, Barrera, Mijares (especially fucking Mijares) and Fatton just bore me to tears. But I'm sure if Mijares got convicted for animal cruelty or wife battering and everyone started hating on him, he'd get one new fan at least

    Your Mijares obsession surprises me a bit for the simple fact that there are a lot of people on here who probably don't even know who he is, or at the least have never seen him fight.

    I try really, really hard not to disrespect any fighter too much. For example, I can't stand Mayweather - big surprise there - but I respect what he does, and what he's accomplished. I try really hard to respect anybody with the guts to step in the ring and compete - even if I can't stand the person, or the persona.

    I'm sick enough to watch two guys beat each other to a bloody pulp and call it entertainment...the least I can do is show a little respect.

    I don't get how anyone could be bored to tears by Barrera that just makes no sense to me.

    How could you not like Pac when he always puts on great fights?

    Barrera bored many spectators when he fought Pac for the 2nd time.

    That's really my view as well. At the end of the day no boxer who has achieved world class status should be disrespected by those who enjoy watching the sport, barring something inhumane thing they may do out of the ring or what not. I won't say it doesn't irritate me to hear irrational hate on a fighter by those who are basically nuthuggers, but I think to really get worked up enough about it you'd have to be just as deluded with lust for your favourite as they are.

    It bothers me when people say 'this fighter is ducking so and so' and this guy's scared of that guy'

    They're professional boxers. They fight for a living. I find it really hard to believe that they fear any particular fighter.

    I hate how some disrespect fighters for not taking a certain fight at a certain time. Who are we to tell them who to fight. It's their career.
