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

[Ghost]

Excuses for fighters and opions are like assholes, everyone has one and uses them all the time.

Bilbo, if you find the people in the hidden boards more to your liking, then why come on to the main board at all? Rep points is why. You can take on a new poster and get reps for doing it.

The current happenings on the main boards are nothing new. They all learn after awhile if they stick around.

To me, the main boards are where all the chest thumping, back slapping, outlandish statements are made. the Hidden forums are where the real people hang out and really get to know each other better.

It doesn't bother me too much. I find people annoying for all sorts of reasons. If I know a poster makes threads, and they typically are all the same, as in grovelling over one particular boxer...I just don't open them any more.

Recently I became a fan of a fighter, as in, decided he was my guy and I was gonna jump on the bandwagon so to speak, as I liked what he was about. My first time doing so. That was just recently, and it was Kelly Pavlik. ha Look how that turned out...

But anyway, I still like him, because it wasn't just about boxing for me...I like his personality as well and won't throw him under the bus because of his first loss. I hope he will learn and improve.

Also though, I won't open threads from people, even Pavlik fans, if they are a one trick pony. It's really that simple, IMO.

The last Bastion of huggery died when Pavlik lost.

Irrtational and un substantiated hate is on the rise!

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.

You know me and you should get on more booze. I'm a whiny, melancholy, grumpy, sullen sod on this board and so are you. We both view others with irritation and disdain, we both grumble about our wretched lives.

The only difference is I at least get laid now and again whilst you get laid never.

But you shouldn't take that out on me. We are kindred spirits booze and you know it.

I understand your point,but if it was'nt for the debates on these fight threads then this world and site would just be too "HAPPY"..."I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME!"
I dont like people who talk shite on here,but if everybody had the same view on the noble art game then it would be too boring!!

Call it a EQUAL BALENCE!!!

and here is me

I didn't read it all but I wouldn't think Bilbo would be qualified to make a judgement on the boxing board. People are fans, Winky is my favorite fighter. I can debate with Northside on woho won Winky's fight with Taylor and I'm sure it would be charged with fanboyism from both but doesn't mean it can't be a good thread. In summation, shut up Bilbo.

everyother single proper sport in the world there are fans, die hard fans way way more than boxing, fuck me people get they shit beat out of them, or beat the shit out of others weekly in footy. people even kill...

yet when someone who has grown up a huge fan of a fighter still talks about him, they get stick because its boxing? they are a "fan boy"

Isn't the whole idea of the Baggins clan to recruit Pac nuthuggers that will rep you every day in exchange for your protection from well deserved criticism? All in all I think you probably take this place way to seriously. If you deem somebody to be a fanboy incapable of putting forth anything reasonable or intelligent, why bother to respond? Kinda sad isn't it?

Believe me I don't take this place seriously.

I just find it annoying that every time a fighter wins or loses you'll get a bunch of people telling us why the win didn't mean anything, why the guy who lost was clearly overatted, and why one fighter is great whilst another sucks.

It's gay fanboy shit, and if it's ok to be a fanboy on this site and be anti one fighter whilst sucking the cum out of another fighters japs eye then its ok for me to be an anti fanboy.

As for the Baggins clan recruiting Pacman nuthuggers this is no longer the case.

The Baggins clan recruits the forums best 'character's' i.e plopeater eats his own shit so he's in, Clubber kills frogs, punches walls and has never spoken to a girl before, he's in, Kid Thunder is possibly the worst boxer of all time and a youtube star, obviously he's in.

We are an assortment of unlikely hero's but hero's nonetheless

Guess it just doesn't seem like anything new to me? There's always been some morons on this board, and generally the fanboys are going to fall under that category. Don't know why I'm arguing the point though, I really don't contribute anything myself and don't go on the other boards as they aren't really to do with boxing. I've always just skimmed around this forum to get a bit of perspective on the sport because it's the best venue I've found to keep up to date on it. Of course only the odd post is actually of any interest but so what? There's no reason to respond to every little flame war some goof tries to start, much less start one of your own as if you have some sort of cross to bear.

If I want to start a flame war I will damn well start one
