why are boxing fans so negative?

[CommunistKevin]

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.

Ha I love 670. Mac and spiegel and boers and bernstein. Plus they play white sox games.

You may perceive them to be negative because they may be having a go at your particular fighter Eric44? But as has been said fans are negative about all fighters, even when it is not warranted. You can tell sometimes if a fighter will be a world class fighter from their first 5 fights, Lennox Lewis comes to mind, however you can never be sure they will become champion because things happen.

Its a sport thing in general,
If a footballer plays well hes the next pele, if he misses a pentally in the next game hes shit,
Same in most sports same in boxing......
People are quick to cruisfy boxers whi have a bad fight,
David haye did wonders as a cruiser, then won 4 or 5 hw bouts in good fashion, he then loses and is deemed a no-hoper?! ok he was dissapionting against wlad and there was no need 4the little toe excuse! but he still went 12 rounds with probley the best in the division and took a solid heavy jab all night without getting ko'd, no shame in that

the difference is even if a fighter performs well ... its often not a case of that performance being lauded as much as "well he hasnt though this name or that name yet" as fans we tend to never be content
