Shifting of opinions: Knowledgeable? or Fickle fans?

[Spicoli]

Fighters grow,evolve and Improve.....thus making new fans.Same with fans.Its really a natural occurrence for open minded fans.....of course "Open Minded" is the key Lol.When I saw Mosley coming up,I could not stand him at all,Too flashy,big cheesy smile,fleet of foot (I thought),allll the constant Hype and declarations of him being "The next this,the next that" ,etc.After the Rivera fight....That all changed and I was on board.

as for Margarito.I first saw him live Vs.Rodney Jones in a loss and that was all she wrote...even in a loss.Then he went in with on & off power hitter Ankamah who was being pushed hard in promotions and Margarito pulverized him.Been a solid fan ever sinse.Win, lose, or draw...no part timer here

After Mosley schooled ODLH, I became his loyal fan. I can still remember it though it happened 8 years ago.

Its a great thing,anytime you can do a 180 on a fighter.Better yet is seeing a fighters career from jump off and being able to say...."I saw it live" and followed him throughout.Sort of feels like a culmination.It gets more difficult as you go and the longer you follow the sport with the ones that have literally hung around too long from when You first started following them.I'm there right now with Holyfield and almost there with Hopkins You remember where you were when it was all gravy and what was going on with there careers.You can not live on yesterdays alone Lol. Now you think.....ahh come on man,call it a career already !!

yeah man. I thought Hopkins was unbeatable after beating Tito. Hopkins was the underdog in that fight and he handled Tito very well.
