I've noticed there has been a wave of NEW boxing fans recently...

[IsaL]

You can tell their new fans because they know nothing of boxing pre-2007.

A lot of thes new fans also do not appreciate the older fighters.

Did DLH have anything to do with this with 24/7?

[bxrfan]

Do you mean posters? Or people in general?

[dan-b]

Yeah they are mainly Calzaghe fanbois.

[Pimp C]

I've noticed that as well, this place used to be a lot better. Now you have a bunch of fools who don't have a true appreciation for the sport and its history. They often refer to fighters as cowards or runners and think any fighters who happens to be defensive are boring. Learn to respect all styles of this great sport.

Good post.:good

[Relentless]

ever since floyd mayweather went on mtv cribs this place has been getting packed with new posters.

[MasterCalzaghe]

I know!

Some people think Joe Calzaghe never existed before 2006-03-04; those guys make me laugh!

Exactly, most people that criticize have never been in a fight, let alone a ring. You can usually tell by the post if its some young kid. I'm all for new fans of the sport, and most won't know about the sports history, but its the constant arguments between posters that gets old.

[Larson]

And most of them are fanboys

Every since you came out of the closet this place has gone to shit.

[sthomas]

The reality shows do a lot to bring in the new fans. Hopefully, if they get on this site enough, they'll learn a lot about the sport, including it's colorful history. Let's face it though, there are plenty of old fans who talk crap about boxers being cowards etc., especially those "remember the good old days" guys. IMO every era, new and old, has had greats that would be great regardless of era.

[MasterCalzaghe]

You can always tell the newbs from the pros by looking at their post numbers in comparison to their vcash and working out a ratio.

[Relentless]

the thread about sensitive fanboys have been proven right again, why are you getting butt hurt?

did i diss you?

or did i diss floyd?

[ThePlugInBabies]

Yeah they are mainly Calzaghe fanbois.

ahhhhh watford, explains everything.

I usually respect you MasterCalzaghe, but some of us have our vCash tied up in bets

Cashflow problems :twisted:

Elaborate...

[Pimp C]

No but it's just so fun fucking with you chav.

i know, in terms of v-cash, you're like the bernard "janitor" hopkins to my richard schaefer.

[Thread Stealer]

I dunno, but I heard there was an increase in sales at Victoria's Secret.

that is because of oscar and his hotel room phots.

[MacManJr.]

ever since floyd mayweather went on mtv cribs this place has been getting packed with new posters.:rofl

[MattMattMatt]

I can appreciate how an influx of new people can be annoying, especially if the majority appear to have very limited knowledge but not all of us will be ignorant of boxings history - I'm new here and have only been a boxing fan for about 10 years but I take as much interest in boxers from the past as I do with those boxing now. I try my best to see as many old and current fights as possible and regularly read about the history of the sport.

You are the Charles Schwab of ESB good sir, I salute you!

only problem is that some of us don't give a fuck about vCash.

[kirk]

i dont care too much that they are idiots.... im just glad boxing is getting some new fans


SPREAD THE LOVE!!! lol...

In the last year i have made almost everyone at my work boxing fans, to the point of pretty soon they will be buying their own ppv's and shit... if every fan brought in 4 new fans... boxing would be back on top again ;)

Cheers:good, I'll try to check out as many out as I can. A couple of them are on Youtube, gonna watch Chavez - Randall (link) ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) edit: this is the rematch, doesn't look like all of the first fight is on there), I've seen a bit of Chavez but nothing of Frankie yet. That's the best thing about boxing history, I could probably watch a couple of brilliant fights every week for the rest of my life and I still wouldn't have seen everything worth seeing.:cool:

[kirk]

[Zhaakal]

They came with the 2 mega fights.

[tri-pod]

So i guess because i just joined and i dont have many posts im a new wave boxing fan right? even though i would prefer to watch the boxers of old actually utilize the "sweet science" with quick feet and rythem. And because i would rather watch people like Ali dance around the ring with foot movement and trash talk his opponents with a poem instead of acting like a whinny little kid (mayweather) that makes me a new fan who only started liking boxing because i saw that whinny little kid on cribs right?

so of course i MUST be a new wave boxing fan :deal

[Boom_Boom]

now that’s the spirit!

True :deal

[LeadLeftHook]

Theres a starting point for everyone. Some of you old timers act like you were born with boxing knowledge.
The more boxing fans the better.

[Caliboxing]

It is not just newbies, there are a lot of vets that like only a fighter or two and can't see anything else.

[RafaelGonzal]

I know!

Some people think Joe Calzaghe never existed before 2006-03-04; those guys make me laugh!

he doesnt exist now either and wont until he beats BHOP.

[saul_ir34]

They might actually be like me.
I have only been posting for a few months now but i used to go on this site every day for a very long time and read all the articles and forums. I have been a boxing fan since i was a little kid. My cousins were all boxers and some still are. I love the sport and im glad i found this page.
This wave of new guys is ok with me except that there is alot of them that you can tell just dont know what the hell they are talking about and need to get facts before they post.

[Bomber]

he doesnt exist now either and wont until he beats BHOP.

Spoken like a true fanboy.

[RafaelGonzal]

Spoken like a true fanboy.

never been a Bhop fan. Just know he is the real deal thats all, because he has proven it. The jury is still out on Slappy Joe

[Blacc Jesus]

Probably some MMA fans. :lol:

[Welsh Dragon]

never been a Bhop fan. Just know he is the real deal thats all, because he has proven it. The jury is still out on Slappy Joe

So he`s proven he`s the real deal and your still not a fan? Who`s fanclub do you belong to then? f**kin superman`s?
Same shit just different day.

[Bomber]

Why exactly, playing devils advocate, is the Jury out?

Because you havent seen enough of him to make a judgement?

because of a natural knee jerk reaction to something you know little about and is different?

Or because it suits your mentality and fits nicely into your thinking?

[Mikey]

It was more Hatton fans personally, ****** got all the drunken football boys on the wagon, which is why you heal all that chanting in his fights.

****** don`t promote Fatton.
He has been known to attend the army barracks to dish out tickets tho, jus cant see him doing that for Vegas, although he has got the dollar if he wanted rich b`stard:P

I find his style boring thats all. I respect the quality but dont enjoy watching his particular style. There is nothing wrong with that.

To be fair, hes just giving Bhop his respect. His resume demands respect after all.
As for his comments about Calzaghe? Well Calzaghe feels he needs to fight in America to prove himself an elite level fighter, so theres nothing much wrong with the guys post.

Oh & if you dont mind me asking, are you a welsh Newcastle fan? It seems every welsh person I talk to likes to attach themselves to England in some way, the welsh certainly love England going by the members on ESB!

[Vantage_West]

Every since you came out of the closet this place has gone to shit.:lol: coming form c

[Vantage_West]

It was more Hatton fans personally, ****** got all the drunken football boys on the wagon, which is why you heal all that chanting in his fights.even though fwank is not his promoter anymore. you have hit a nail on a certified head that he was promted towards football fans who dont know alot about boxing who will believe in the undefeated record and a wbu championship belt. he had tough good fights almost all the time then would have a pint and a chat after the fight. this is very loutish almost footy hooligan.


goign back to th enbeaten record:patsch i hate it i dispiss it. it makes them look a million dollars doesnt matter what happend as lon gas you keep your 0 then your safe. terrible this whole fight game is just prospects and vetrans no inbetweens

[Vantage_West]

It is not just newbies, there are a lot of vets that like only a fighter or two and can't see anything else.aaaa...aaa...aorishman. excuse me

[MancMexican]

It's more of a case that they don't have the same huge inferiority complex that some of you Scots have towards the English

[Bummy Davis]

They read a few boxing magazines and think they become experts, Hey is Max Kellerman posting on this site
