"Why do Floyd fans hate GGG so much?" Where does this logic come from?

[jdp28tx]

Most of them are race baiters. They were the same with Kovalev before he beat Hopkins. They're the same way now with Lomachenko. Golovkin, Kovalev, and Lomachenko don't fight like each other at all and yet the same posters slate them at every opportunity.

R u saying the Floyd fans are race baiters or GGG fan's are race baiters? If u r saying the Floyd fans are race baiters then they are surely not too bright because Eastern Europeans have historically been looked down on by the west with incredible amounts of hatred towards them by the West. The West always thought themselves, to this day, superior to Russians, Ukrainians, the Slavs, on and on. The Germans saw them, especially the Russians nothing more than animals, same with the British. Just look at the history of invasion by the West into Eastern Europe, especially Russia. Whether it be by the French, Germans, or Swedish. Even to this day the West tries to take all the credit and for winning WW2 and try and marginalize Russia's contribution to the war and minimize Russia's losses during the war. Just like the US likes to think it single-handedly won WW2,when the facts show it is Russia who that deserves most of the credit for victory in Europe. So if it is the Floyd fans u accuse of race baiting and if it is true then they need a history lesson because Western Europe and white America are vastly different from those of Eastern Europe.

This is something I see posted all the time now in any thread related to Triple G. What is the logic in this and where does it come from?

Firstly, there's no set of rules of who you can or can't be a fan of in the sport of boxing. It's a sport with numerous styles, weight classes, and nationalities, there's something for everyone. So if you like one guy and not another guy, there should be NO problem with this.

But for some reason, it apparently becomes a problem when "Floyd fans" don't like someone like GGG. They claim it's unwarranted hate and don't seem to comprehend the reasoning behind (some) Floyd fans not liking him. They automatically assume it's a personal thing and not something directly related to boxing. I'll gladly tell you why I don't like him, but my opinion may differ from someone else's reasoning and that's totally fine.

I don't like Triple G very much for a few simple reasons. Firstly, he has an obsessively annoying fanbase. Yes, that makes it much harder to appreciate what he does in the ring. His obsessive fans are quick to overrate him and make him out to be something he is not. I see many flaws, and fans of his shouldn't be offended just because I point them out. The fact that he stays camped out in the worst division in boxing says a lot about his level of confidence. Not only does he hide out at 160, but he is actively calling out WELTERWEIGHTS! That's just pathetic! Why doesn't he move up in weight and CHALLENGE himself like many prior greats and CHAMPIONS have done before? Why does he keep calling out Ward only to duck his head in shame when Ward acknowledges his challenge?

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that people need to stop relating everything to make it seem like it's attached to Floyd somehow. I mean think about it, one could EASILY ask, "Well, why is every Pacquiao fan so critical of guys like Rigo, Ward, Hopkins, Crawford and so on..?" But doing so wouldn't mean anything because everyone is different and it wouldn't prove anything because you can and WILL always find that one guy who is a fan of those guys.

GGG is a fraud and hypocrite. He is fed bums day in day out pretending to keep busy the guy is 33 so when will he fight a genuine fighter. All boxer's had to move up to face genuine competition eh Pacquiao, Mayweather Sugar Ray, Judah, Mosley etc. Dirrell, Ward etc are ready to face GGG but he will sign up to fight another bump after this one. ALL HE ever does is call out smaller boys whom he knows don't belong to 16lbs? Why won't he move up?

You're still hurting because I pulled your ho card, pocahontas. Try not to shoot any unarmed black people today in Sacramento, cop.

Your post history speaks for itself.

I own it al sharpton. You and your ilk don't scare me. You think because you're black that you should somehow be feared and more respected at the same time. Not gonna happen. Also, I could've told you months ago I drive a taxi in Omaha or sell insurance in Seattle and you would've ran with that as well. Let me clue you in on something Tyrone; you being black doesn't make your point more valid. Stop with the ****.

My thing is, Floyd was destroying GGG calibur opponents early on his career as well. The Brussels, N'Dou's, and Mitchell's of the world and even destroyed some good fighters like Corrales, and Manfredy. If he fought nothing, but B-Cish level dudes in his 1st weight class he would be nice to look at as well. There's not even a remote comparison in their competition levels recently.

I'm also a fan of GGG and I don't mind dude waiting it out at 160. Just don't complain if fighters especially from smaller weight classes don't want to meet you on your terms.

LOL -- GGG continues to offer 154 to Floyd. But Floyd doesn't want it.

That would be like Ward offering to come down to 160 to fight GGG. Which of course he never offered.

It's Pac fans dude.And Floyd haters. Since Floyd beat Pac they want to create a new rivalry that doesn't exist. Their whole existence is based on trolling Floyd and people that enjoy watching him fight and now that Floyd beat Pac, they have no reason to exist.

So now they are attempting to link Floyd fans to GGG, and pull race cards to reinvent themselves. Even though they are separated by 2 divisions, are at different stages in their careers and will never fight.

The problem is, they don't realize that many Floyd fans, appreciate skills which GGG has. So unfortunately for them, this trolling and race baiting won't work because fans who appreciate superb boxing skills support both Floyd and GGG.

This and it includes the poster's who love using code words like the "slick crew." They know who they are.

Ward is there at 168lbs but what did GGG want instead? He was willing to go to 168lbs for Chavez but not Ward and Dirrell. You know Dirrell fought GGG in the amateurs and said the guy had no power. GGG fully knows he's a fraud and he will continue harvesting tomato cans.
