Nobody Disgraces the Sport More Than........

[- Ram Raid -]

Boxing's a hyper-masculine sport in the face of which many 'fans' feel a sense of shrinking inadequacy. How else are they going to claw back a sense of manhood if not by spewing out self delusional derision? . . . By actually coming up to scratch? That would take courage and action. It's easier to prop up a fragile sense of worth by tearing into others.

This place is an equal blessing and curse for fans that care about the sport. There are good posters on here but there are many more who no longer post because of the negativity and outright hatred that's all too common, and that's a real shame.

This place isn't indicative of boxing fans though, it's indicative of how people act behind the anonymity of a keyboard. I've never met boxing fans in the real world who are so derisive of the sport.

boxing is about trash talk? I thought that it was about letting your fists do the talking.

only people who don't know any better will think other wise.

True. I think most people are just having fun and talking trash.

Fans do it in every sport. They aren't professional baseball or basketball players either and they talk mad trash about anyone on opposing teams. Everyone knows that aren't as good and can't do what the best do.

I think just about every poster respects fighters but it's human nature to jab at people- keeps life interesting.
