Those comments tend to be about fighters who deserve it imo. Although there is a tonne of bias against Brit fighters. But I think you grocely overrate British fighters, even if I do applaud your patriotism!

Generally, if you suck or green stop bigging yourself up in to something you're not, before you've earned it then we'll stop tearing you a new one.

I think thats it. Fans who have stuck around for any length of time know when they are being fed a pile of crap. History repeats itself.

Being a boxing fan is a true acid test of the stomach.

Most fans can't even comprehend that it actually hurts when you get punched. That it's actually nerve-wracking when someone wants to beat the fuck out of you.

Every other sport you can bottle it and lose numerous times and still come away looking great. Have one bad night in boxing and nobody will ever let you forget.

Thats huge in it. The individuality of it as opposed to a team focus, surrounding players etc. There is but one participant for cause and effect, or the ref, to praise or fault. Many shit plays occur in other team sports daily but are not always the determining factor in its outcome. If you get ko'd there is no one to take your position while your broken arse is carried back to the locker room.

I don't find boxing fans to be any more or less critical that hardcore fans of other sports.

I also post on a hockey forum and people are pretty much the same over there.

It's mostly just the Internet/ forum mindset.

Why do nearly every YouTube clip comments section end up filled with people telling each other they suck or racist stuff. It's the joy of keyboard warriors.

People seem to be much happier slagging stuff off instead of praising it.

Because Wolak-Rodriques is on Friday Night Fights and Alexander/Bradley, Khan/Judah, Klitschko/Haye, Pacquiao/Mosley are on the big stage. Because Pacquiao and Mayweather won't fight. Because when you put in the name of a hard punching southpaw as an opponent you don't get the courtesy of the a return phone call from the promoter. Because nobody knows who is champ of what and a lot of divisions don't have champions (what is a super champion anyway).

That's why.

I live in the Chicagoland area and I listen to 670AM sports talk radio everyday. 90% of what is said is negative and degrading to a team or particular individual. Thats just how us humans percieve things i guess. We're just a bunch of negative assholes.

Haters Gonna hate... But how many would get in the ring with them?

Its easy to hate on a fighter, if they're well established you can say they don't deserve it, if they are new you can say they are unproven, If they are bigging themselves up you can call them cocky, if they lose you can say they are punching beyond their division,

or just respect fighters as the fighters they are, and if you think someone is shit, call the out, get in the ring and prove you're better...

Don't be so silly.

I don't buy all this 'go easy on them, you wouldn't have the balls' shit - Yeh, but I am not earning millions of quid in my chosen profession. The fans pay their wages and deserve to be entertained and have their say.

[erics44]

one of the things that makes me giggle the most is some fighter turns pro and has 5 fights and then all the comments on here are

he won the fight BUT he isnt world class

flippin ek people, I wonder if manny pac was world class after 5 fights
