Does anybody else hate the fanboyism that dominates the boxing talk board?

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

I totally agree mate, since i have come back here, it has changed alot and is more and more reminding me of that pathetic excuse of a boxing forum Eastside, thats why i spend less time here then when i use to when i was about previously.

Dont get me wrong the majoirty of people here are great posters like yourself and hundereds of others but there are to many idiots for my liking these days.

You'll find that most of the veteran posters are still here we just post more and more in the hidden boards now. I'd rather swap True Blood theories with Boxing Gorilla and Diane than compare boxrec searches with an internet warrior these days

Sam's def a warewolf, Bilbs... Running throught the field naked in the morning?... Yeah.

WTF was with the gloves and roling around in the dead chicks bed?.

Yeah he's definitely got some dark secret

Yah, this stuff makes it all kinda boring.

I find that issues regarding weight get tossed around as excuses for losing far too often...

"My guy should stay at junior welterweight, he's just not that good at welterweight" Never mind the fact that welterweight division is heavily populated with better fighters. Or how about "if they'd fought at junior welterweight, my hero would have won".

"The weight drop from Heavyweight to Lightheavy obviously was affecting him" ... more than two years after the fact.

So and So was a natural welterweight, so you can't say the guy who beat him at middleweight is better.

The list goes on. If your favorite fighter is all that great, he should be able to deal with weight changes. Most of the great ones have.

Bilbo what do you expect, everybody has a fighter theyre a fan of, thats why people follow the sport.
It wether or not you can be objective about it.Everybody knows Im a fan of Bernard
And I can objectively say, I hope he finally does retire,and even with his debatable recent losses,its really his own fault for trying to coast through the late rounds. You can make a case that overall he won,but if he'd kept working in there,it wouldnt have been close enough for him to lose the decisions.
I kind of like Kessler,but if he knew his hand was hurt,he should have postponed the fight. And Mikkels managment are idiots for letting Warren rake them over the coals like that.
Ali is god to me,but the Holmes and Berbick fights were abortions
Holmes is a big fave,and it was depressing to watch him beat up on Esche while begging to fight Foreman.
And your complaint thread is a loosly vieled attempt to justify Joes career. And wether you like it or not,nobody can say he conclusively beat Bernard,Kessler was hurt,Lacy wasnt ready and probably wasnt as good as some people thought,and Eubank was washed up.
There isnt any great triumph on Joe's record,and people are allways going to resent that there isnt.
Though him fighting Jones in their primes not happening is not Joe's fault, its Roys,Joe wanted him bad,so did B-hop
Roy is only fighting him now because he's desperate for one last good payday

I really don't think that in the good three years that I'm a member of this site anything changed(much)...there will always be "fanboyism" and there will always be members coming and going...some are idiots and some are pretty cool...

Bilbo! Nice post. I enjoy listening to rants. Fanboyism can get annoying but it is what it is.

I learn to take it with the territory. Every celeb or athlete has die-hard fans. If someone didn't disagree with me, there would be harmony and a forum is no place for harmony. It's supposed to be about people with different views and opinions and if people can open their minds and accept another's opinion, that great, but it usually doesn't happen.

very true i dont post over the week before or after a big fight, just due to there being pages and pages of nuthuggin going on, and you cant make a personal opinion without the newbs swarming you, something must be done!!!

After the Pacquiao vs Marquez rematch this forum went crazy!! I was utterly disgusted by the "Pac dominated Marquez" or "Marquez schooled Pac" comments that I wanted to throw up, when in fact, the fight was one of the best fights of this year. I ended up writing a rant about it and I was given good advice about how this forum can get "big fight syndrome."

So now-a-days I give it a couple of days after a big fight before I come back on. Considering the dominating performance Hopkins gave this weekend, I waited until Monday before I posted anything.

I hate your whiny ass threads you have been starting......dating back like SINCE YOU BECAME A MEMBER. What a fag.

What is worse......you want to be a mod and then you have this big ass wimpy thread in the boxing talk board.


In conclusion:

a. You whine too often.
b. You whine in inapporiate places.
c. Your whining is unoriginal and stagnant.
