Irrational Hate

[OumaFan]

I can't stand the Klitchko's. Either of them. Can't stand them.

No real good reason either. Could not stand them long before Wlad started hugging and pawing more than punching and long before Vitali postponed the Rahman fight like 8 times. So there's really no good reason, Wlad's god awful boringness just increased the hate.

There are some other guys but I'll stick with the Klitchko's.

So let it out, give me your examples. And before anybody (inevitably) says "Hate's too strong a word but...", there's no reason for that, I'm not talking about wanting to do harm to somebody hate, just simple sports hate.

David Haye.....but it's not irrational, he's an arrogant prick who hasn't done anything in the heavyweight division


Paulie Malinaggi is one that I have an extreme dislike of....Luis Collazo....graveyard teeth and all....Nicolay Valuev, John Ruiz, Shane Mosley...I don't HATE Shane but I don't like him either...

Hope that helps

I like the really out there ones, like Bilbo hating David Haye cause he's better looking than him.

I mean its not all irrational, some is based on rational reasons and irrational ones, and there are totally rational reasons to dislike, say for example, Oscar.

Andre Berto...I just dislike him with a passion

Shane is a good one, no real good reason to hate him. I guess Collazo too.

But Valuev, Ruiz, Malignaggi, there all totally reasonable reasons to dislike them, Malignaggi's loud and kind of boring, and obviously Valuev and Ruiz are mind numbingly boring.

Would disliking somebody because of the obnoxiousness of their fan base be considered reasonable or rational?

The Klitchko's fans were incredibly annoying on here when I first joined, that might have contributed to it but it didn't start it. Does anybody remember SevenDeuce? Obnoxious is not a strong enough word, people who think Pac fans are annoying have no idea.

I tend to dislike fighters because of their fans, which is idiotic. I can't stand Pac because of some of his fans, I'm hoping Hopkins literally decapitates Pavlik in the ring because of some of his fans, etc.

I guess it's not really the fans I dislike, it's the fanboys, but nonetheless they drive me nuts and make me cheer against the fighter, even if I once enjoyed watching the fighter (like Pavlik and Pac).

I know it's kind of stupid, but I can't help it.

Boringly.. i honestly don't hate anyone BUT certain fighters get on my nerves..Hopkins because ive had to watch the boring bastard at like 4am in the morning for the past 7-8 years.. and he NEVER fails to bore.

I used to like Pavlik before his loony lovers turned me against him. I now hope boring old Hopkins KO's him.

Hatton for being the "man of the people"

haha, so its not just me.

I don't know why, but the Pac fans don't annoy me that badly, for the most part. Saddoboxer's ability to bring Pacquaio into almost any conversation is amazing but he doesn't bother me really, its kind of funny. It would be funny if he was like that in real life, people at work whispering, desperate to keep him out of the conversation

Saddoboxer isn't too bad at all really, I don't mind him. He can be a bit annoying at times (who isn't?), but I wasn't referring to him specifically. I was thinking of the "fans" who flood this place after every Pac victory or after every fight with 3 divisions of Pac and start threads about how he would beat whoever just won the fight.

I also tend to cheer for fighters that everyone else dislikes, I guess I like to be contrary.

Pac fans don't bother me

1. Pac is a proven great fighter and great to watch

2. How many great fighters do Filipinos get to root for.. Pac is a once in a lifetime hero

Wladimir "Dr Slap" Klitchsko - Total discrage to boxing. Enough said.

Yeah, fair enough. Most (the vast majority) of them don't bother me at all, but some of them drive me nuts. He's undeniably a great fighter though, only a fool would argue against that.
