One of the reasons why boxing is down.

[boxer2k5]

Is it so called fans spend 90% of their time discrediting boxers left and right. Either they are highly biased about their favorite fighter and feel they could do no wrong then they discredit and tear down every other fighter. They all part of the same sport and make each other period. all fighters need eachother whether they fight or not win or lose. making negative threads trolling isnt doing my fav sport any good its only keeping negative news circulating and making the sport look bad. Putting down fighters who train hard and do what they do to take care of their families.

99% of this site has never boxed managed train coached competed at a top level pro or amateur yet there are so many experts that seem to know what to do when to do it how to do it and why. I bust my ass in the gym and compete and know how hard it is to fight period let alone a top level. and to come here and see a bunch of lazy ass nerd wanna be bert sugars putting down almost every boxer instead of praising the sport being happy about the fights thats happening instead of crying about fantasy fights is sad.

And you wonder why most fighters go for the money and not the fan favorite fights. Because they can see you guys really dont give a ****.
guys like iran barkley homeless and others punch drunk yal dont care. so why not go for the money go for the names? yall critisize fighters who fight the best thats available to them like vic darchinyan sergio martinez for example. yall critisize guys who been fighting since 7 8 years old always in big fights doing what they do like floyd oscar mosley. yall critisize guys who also been fighting for msot their lives putting on big fights bringing the fight to fans all over the world like manny wlad hatton.

its ok to not be a fan of a fighter and fan of another fighter. but whats the point trying to tear a fighter down and wanting to prove yourself right to someones fan? they are a fan o a fighter you re a fan of another leave it at that. when they fight may the best man win.


WHY IS THERE NO RESPECT FOR THE FIGHTERS AND THE SPORT. WHY DO YALL WASTE YOUR TIME IF YOU DONT RESPECT THE FIGHTERS AND THE SPORT? i mean i dont go on nfl boards dissing fat athletes or even talk about boxers i dont like. I dont comment on UFC boards dissing guys who i feel have no skills or whatever. I respect everyone who made it and do whatever they do to survive. im 100% sure this will fall on deaf hears because haters are going to be haters but id love to see you guys who critisize so much go out there lace the gloves up and do better. time for my run i will talk to you guys later. peace and BOXING IS LIFE

To some, overrating fighters is bad for the sport. I.E. Martinez is overrated as P4P number 1?

Donaire is just as good P4P.

thats your opinion and i respect that. but p4p list is merely someone or group of others opinion as well and dont really mean much except to those who it mean something too. if you have donaire higher than martinez thats great. if not also great. but my point is the disrespect for these boxers and their careers is disgusting from so called fans

[Vasyl’s dad]

Its been said since the 50s, "boxing is dying".


60 years later, its still here.

[P.K]

I am not disrespecting Martinez. I actually think he is good, but not that good.

In terms of skills, he is no where near Manny and Floyd. His name is onlt mentioned because he is bigger than them and has a chance to beat them. If they were all at 147, he wouldn't beat William's IMO. He has stamina issues which is why he was nto given the decision VS William's.

I am just sick of people thinking Martinez is all that. I agree that he doesn't have many guys to face, but he still boxed for years and 154 had names like Forrest.

He has been boxing since 1997.

never said its dying i said its down.

If a MMA fan asked a floyd fan, why should i like boxing and tune into boxing?
The gentlemanly thing to do would be boxing is wonderful, look at Pac for instance a great fighter and ambassador for the sport.

But that would never happen would it? The sad thing is they would find it hard to use Floyd as a reason to love boxing. He dont fight.

never said you was. this thread was directed at the general public who disrespect boxers managers trainers promoters and the sport.against those who feel they are experts yet the only thing they know of this sport is form watching tv and reading articles online. dont be so conceited to think it was soley about you.

[P.K]

As for the sport dying, there will always be fans.

Boxing has been associated with poor, and as more people have slightly better lives in western countries, less people box and obviously less fans.

In every country there are only 2 or 3 sports that get most of sports fans.

Boxing isn;t dying because of our disrespect, even it in some ways flourishes because we here are on a boxin site and pay for fights, abut sometimes we get streams.

Still, we are here. It is the people who don't talk boxing that kill it.

[Vasyl’s dad]

never said its dying i said its down.

Yea, its so down, that its selling more than ever.

Its so down, that fights are being hosted in stadiums again.
