Boxing topics that bring out the bias

[erics44]

i think one topic that seems hardest for people to be objective about is the haye klit saga, even more so than pac/mayweather, take a recent thread "Is haye a compulsive liar?", obviously designed by a haye hater to sway opinion against haye

Possibly because i have been involved in most of the Froch threads recently, there seems to be a lot of bias that afect the judgements of fans both for and against froch

are there any other issues/fights/results that people seem to find it hard to express an objective opinion when discussing?

People will always display bias in favour or against the fighters that interest them. I am quite guilty of it too, but in quieter moments will admit that Amir Khan is quite good and that Mayweather is likely not a homosexual. I guess some people can take things too far. In tems of Haye and Wlad Klit, I don't really care for either fighter. But I think Haye is the cause.

Indeed.

Sometimes it's the posters that are the most pathetic, delusional and ignorant that make for the best threads though. I quite miss the days of constantly destroying Calzaghe haters. Fact.

Manny Pacquiao. Some of the fans that came in here around after the Hatton fight were just ridiculous. In their eyes, the man could do no wrong. Not only did their bias make you sway on the other side of their opinion, it had you wanting him to lose badly just to see their reaction. Thankfully most if not all of those idiots have disappeared.

Their was also alot of bias about Ricky Hatton. Alot for him, alot against. I'm a massive Hatton fan but I try not to be too bias in favour of him. Of course, he was well ahead on the scorecards against Mayweather until Cortez cost him the fight, and that slip in the second round against Pacquiao wasn't enough to stop the fight IMO.

It is difficult there are alot of class posters on here unlike other boxing forums but there is the odd bias person I try and be as impartial as possible.

I think we all can be bias at one stage or another, I use to be a little bit took in by the Hatton hype when I first joined here but as I have got older and gathered more knowledge I would say I am anything but bias.

I said Daxx was being bias in the Froch thread for the fact he has slated Froch in the past at some press conference he attended and he didnt like his attitude or something along those lines, and I thought his post was pretty pathetic trying to break down Frochs resume with every negative possible even though it is probably one of of not the best resume in the last two years in the whole game.

Eric if I am honest I think you are bias towards British fighters but overall your not a bad poster and you do try and fight your corner well when challenged with your opinions.

thanks dude thats the nicest thing you have said to me

i admit i can lean towards the british fighter a bit, but im good at fighting my corner because im usually right

im not sure i agree with the fact that you as you seem to be suggesting that there isnt that much biast on this forum. I think that there is a lot, and it seems like a lot of peoples posts are heavily influenced by their dislike for certain boxers, haye is a prime example

AHH the hell with it I was going to blast you but if you are still that worked up because I don't think Froch is the greatest thing since sliced bread and flatscreen TVs in a post in a whole different thread I don't want you to have a breakdown

[generalbulldog]

I think we are all bias. We have certain fighters we like or dislike for various reasons. But I am willing to give a fighter his due if he proves his mettle, Khan is an example. I was a harsh critic on him, but the guy proved me wrong in the Maidana fight. I'm not 1 of those guys that comes up with lame excuses if a fighter I was biased against does something good. First and foremost I am a boxing fan first. Hell even VD gave Khan his due. And no matter how much I dislike a boxer for various reasons, I will never state that 1 is a coward/pussy/chicken, probably 1 of my biggest pet peeves.

I made that thread, and although I'm not a Haye fan (I'm sick of his talk first and work...one day, attitude) those sorts of topics are to get people talking. No point if all threads were all people saying "I agree" and "yep sounds right. Would make the forum very dull and boring, kind of why I stay away from actual boxers forums where the people are all fans of one person and their is no critical discussion.

Any fighter that splits fans will be a good talking point. Would you rather have a forum of "Audley Harrison is a joke" threads?

Haye is clearly a liar though and all the evidence points towards him being a total fraud at HW.

There is no bias in suggesting that.
