why are boxing fans so negative?

[Chet Ripley]

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.

Let's be honest, the majority of fighters, and especially the British ones, aren't going to turn into a Manny Pac. Pretty poor example.

so are you saying manny pac was world class after 5 fights or he wasnt?

and who mentioned british fighters and why are they different than any other part of the world?

Manny after 5 fights didnt look like he could turn into the type of fighter he is today

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.
