Fans that make you hate a boxer

[Mikkel_K]

When fans hype their fighter to the level beyond, what he has done in the ring, I have a tendency to wish for that fighter never really making it that level. Haye is a case in point - on the one hand, I'd love to see an exciting heavyweight, on the other hand I wouldnt mind seeing (certain) people proved wrong. I'm not entirely sure if this is just a wish for confirmation that my own way of seeing things are correct?

Sometimes the fans are right, and the one they back do actually earn the accolades (Pac, Calzaghe, Pavlik, Margarito, Mijares), I felt was given out prematurely. In that case - fair play, they are due for belated respect. Even if I wont admit me ever being wrong on the given subject, of course.

...I'm sure he'll be watching when they boo the National Anthem over there AGAIN.

90% of people in the T&M centre were welsh at the calzaghe/hopkins fight. nobody booed your Anthem.

don't confuse what the english did to what the welsh did.

FWIW they didnt boo the Danish anthem either. So not really any reason to expect booing now, is there?

What make Pacfans annoying were just the fans here on the INTERNET. Making silly things and over hyping Pac. But the normal fans (probably Filipino citizens) are cool fans. We also criticize Pac and e hate him for not focusing on his boxing career. For example, pursuing his celebrity career here on Phil, making him distracted and not focused on his fights. But man, Pac is still our hero, at the end of the day were still at his back cheering for him at any fight he would be.


What makes Pac haters are the internet-Pac-groupies...

i dont seem to hate a boxer just because he has crazy fans.what i hate the most are those fans that claim that they are boxing 'purists'.that compliment should come from others and not from their big mouths

Hate is a strong word. Why would someone hate a boxer because of his fans?


I guess it's because one is nursing a wounded bias. Let's take this case: Had Barrera pummeled Pacquaio the way Pacquaio dominated Barrera, I would surely be hating Barrera's fans if they keep on praising and starting threads about Barrera.

We are all fans of a certain boxer and we may show our admiration for a certain boxer in different ways. Others react rabidly, while others want to be kind of cool. Let's just respect how people show their admiration for their boxers and no one will be hating a boxer because of their fans.

I appreciate Mick and Fenster for the respect they give to fans. Not that I want to kiss their ass but I believe they are the embodiment of respect in this forum.

This is a boxing forum guys. Sometimes, we deserve to be crazy with our fighter especially if he is winning.

Now as a pacfan, i think Pacquaio will get KOed in this fight. To keep myself hoping, I will start a thread that says," Pacquaio is the greatest fighter of all time, he can KO the Klitschos with his left".

See, that's what differentiates some of us boxing fans from others. I don't NEED to think about DLH's fans to dislike him. I've done that for years with or without the fans.

But its not like that with ALL boxers. Like I said, I dislike Mayweather for his trash talking but not because of fans. But then I have other boxers that his fans make me just want to see him loose (Cotto and Pac). I like Cotto but I wanted to see him loose because of his fans and...DannyG . I was not surprised to see all the threads with all the excuses on why he lost. A bit pathetic really.

And for the record... I'm one of those Cotto fans who writes a lot about him. But do not include me among the fans that make excuses for his loss to Margarito. I've always come clean, and as objective as I can.

Yep. You are not one of those, I'll agree. And I don't remember you starting threads about how sexy and muscular Cotto is, about his sexy muscular back, about him walking in Las Vegas with style, etc.

Hey Hit2Win! Comusta ka!
Have you heard normal Phillipino fans doubt Pac winning against someone, having doubts about the decisions vs Marquez, acknowledging Pacs flaws, etc.?

Hate is a strong word. Why would someone hate a boxer because of his fans?

BruceLee,
You're right. I don't hate PAC or Cotto, I just like to see them loose to see their hardcore fans' reactions. Pac and Cotto are no trash talkers. Nice humble likeable guys. It's the hadrcore fans that makes me want to see them loose and then think "Ok, now what are you going to say about that?! Booya!"

I like ODLH and besides all his great admirable accomplishments I can tell you his flaws, certain decisions I disagree with, how I wish he faced other boxers and not guys that seem smaller, etc. as well. Something I would never ever see from hardcore fans.

I'm fine here dude. Yeah! "MANY" Filipino fans doubted about the Pac-JMM2 decision and wishes to have another fight, than having this so-called "circus show" between Pac and ODLH. And even this fight, many Filipinos doubt that Pac can win. But with all those doubts, I'm sure that all of them is still behind Manny.

You said it well hit2win. I am also doubting whether Pac will be able to survive this fight but you can be assured that I will be rooting for him come fight night.

Did you know that in Australia, "rooting" does not mean cheering like it does in the states?

[the_PRODIGY]

i dont hate a boxer just bcoz he has some crazy fans.what makes me hate a fighter is when he wastes his talent or doenst maximizes his potentials.i mean we all hate it when we know a guy is really talented but doesnt train as hard as he can.or when has great skills to box but chose to brawl or fight the way hes not supposed to.bein a dumbass.that makes me hate him the most.and when he disrespect his opponents abilities,that sucks.i mean,.im always like..he wont be fighting you if he dont deserve it.ryt? you fuwckin dumbass

Yes and when you say "bloody hell" in Australia, people in UK protest.

[holmcall]

Calzaghe or Pac fans

Plus Klit fans.

[southakron314]

Calzaghe / Hatton fans are disrespectful people. I laughed when Mayweather koed him. I will laugh even harder if Calzaghe can muster up the scrotum and take Pavlik on.

Cuz they booed your anthem ?

That is part of it. But there overall classlessness. Hell look at your soccer fans or grass fairies as I call soccer players. They are sick. But booing the anthem of a country that has freeded , liberated , and saved more human lives from slavery , dicatorship , genocide, from radical islam than any other counrty combined. I take that kind of thing to heart. I have lost an uncle in 1970 in Vietnam , on of my best freinds little brothers was killed by a IED in 05 in the Fallujia area. My grandfathers on both sides was in WW2. One was in the pacific island hoping and the other made it from France to Germany. I always try to respect other countries. I wish some people would try to understand how serious some people take their patriotism.

[Spicoli]

I think I can form a strong dislike for a fighter while over looking alot of the boisterous bullshit some kool aid drinking groupie fans shout.

The blind fandom might help form a resentment for the fighter but overall what kill's me is how easily some tear down the opponents of they're fav's with easy disregard to reality/respect in attempts to give that Fav. immortal status..Supporting and backing your favorites is what fan's do,but some act like obsessed stalkers.

[leftylee]

Some Pac groupies are annoying to say the least.
