Re: which boxers have the weirdest or most annoying fans
A lot of them were completely distraught after. Complete shock. I got the impression a lot of them had never seen a boxing match before.

i think the phrase i used at the time was 'the last time there were that many shellshocked Pakistanis was over Partition'
bit of a historical gag for you all, there. i found it funny anyway.

Remember when Willie Limond put him down never seen anything like it , it was like it was a tragedy had occurred that couldn’t possibly be allowed to happen, always found his fans to very arrogant when Khan was on his way up.

Oddly I would say the same about Brook fans pre Spence. You know, 'the special one' and all that.Bleak wrote: ↑09 Sep 2021, 01:46Remember when Willie Limond put him down never seen anything like it , it was like it was a tragedy had occurred that couldn’t possibly be allowed to happen, always found his fans to very arrogant when Khan was on his way up.

Did Pakistani-British fans follow boxing before Khan ? If not they probably had no idea for the inevitable disappointment that being a boxing fan brings !Bleak wrote: ↑09 Sep 2021, 01:46Remember when Willie Limond put him down never seen anything like it , it was like it was a tragedy had occurred that couldn’t possibly be allowed to happen, always found his fans to very arrogant when Khan was on his way up.

The only time I've seen a wholesale reaction like that was when my mate's dad died after getting hit in the chest by a cricket ball. Just complete shellshock. People crying, people with their head in their hands, people looking like they just watched the Twin Towers get hit by airplanes.

'Fans' that are there just to shove coke up their beaks, drink piss weak lager and 'sing' football songs...then start a fight with a bloke and his missus who are there to watch the boxing.

Haven’t started fights. But have been guilty of spending the entire night at the bar getting hammered and missing / not remembering all the fights
Re: which boxers have the weirdest or most annoying fans
Yeah, same. I was so drunk at a Hatton fight I fell down the stairs right at the top but in my defence I'd been out all afternoon and it was wet and I was wearing Red Wings which have zero grip.
