Re: Are boxing fans the most fickle out there?
99% of the time if I like a fighter I follow them through thick and thin.
I think it's easy to have fighters as your hero's but the problem is we forget they are human at times and when they make human errors we come down harder on them than we should.
The only fighter I ever went 'off' was Naseem Hamed - went to most of his fights (paying money that was scarce at the time) - met him one day and he snubbed a hand shake and looked at me like I was dirt. A smile - a wave anything would have made my day. What a tw*t.
My friends son is 8 years old and he asked me the other day if boxing was pretend like wrestling... I have since sat him down to watch more than 20 fights in an attempt to begin his education
