After just winning a meaningless fight, boxers who have to bring on little "johnny" or little "herbert" with their fancy hairdo's to the post fight interview.
It makes them and their offspring look like absolute thick morons.

What annoys you about this exactly then? The fact they have their kids at the post fight interviews or the fancy barnets?
I have to admit that I myself am green with envy at these little bastards with their hair. My hair is thinning and there isn't much I can do anymore style wise while these little pudenda are walking around with a different do every week! It's not fair and I shouldn't have to have my nose rubbed in it!

Agreed, I haven't shaved my head for a couple of months, I'm starting to look like roger de courcey by the day, it's really not a good luck

Sign me up as another jealous of youthful manes. Always secretly wanted to have an 80's metal hairdo, wasn't allowed when I could grow one, and if I tried it now I'd look like someone had made me a wig from Worzel Gummige's arse hair.

Khan,Hatton when they talk about themselves in a third person
![[icon_witsend.gif] :witzend:](./images/smilies/icon_witsend.gif)
or when fighters say we instead of I after a fight,for example, ' we stuck it out through the final 2 rounds'

The camera crew paying attention to the actual boxing related chat in the corner between rounds instead of the more visually pleasing spectacle with the card above their head.
Seriously guys I've watched these 2 ugly buggerz punch each other for 3 whole minutes, I don't need another 60 seconds of them spitting in a bucket and having water skooshed down their drawers. Let us have a little perv between rounds ffs.
By all means keep the microphone man in the corner.

The ring girls just get me semi'd up and frustrated

Hangers on that tend to be American who when their fighters getting introduced by the MC shout stuff like "yeah baby" and "that's right" whilst standing behind them

My biggest niggle is....... posters on here slagging off promoters for not making fights/boxers avoiding people. These people have no idea how hard it is to promote fights.
People banging on about Joshua making an easy defence. Just because there are other people rated above his opponent, it doesn't mean they are available or interested. It ain't as easy as, "yeah, let's get him"... phone call.... "it's a deal."
I can't believe some of the people on here can claim to be boxing fans.
My other big one is... people watching BoxNotion on illegal streams. Pay for it you tight basterds. It's an amazing thing to be able to watch Crawford, GGG, Alverez, Ward etc etc. Support the game by subscribing.

The phrase
'he's tough, he's game, he's here to win....'
I hear this and immediately think.
'Right, so he's getting knocked out then.'

Tickets advertised by some promoters as 'Row A' then when you get there, there's 12 rows of VIP in front of you behind a metal fence. So in reality it's 'Row M'.
Fight cards that fall apart and the promoter won't issue a refund when you complain the undercard fight being elevated to main event, is not what you shelled out for.
Forum posters who can't just say their opinion, but have to machine-gun threads with argumentative replies and one-word answers again and again until a 2-page thread becomes an 8-page thread like the recent Amir Khan one. Nobody cares, get a life.

People defending poor match ups, duckers and promoters who are blatantly protecting their assets when better fights ARE there to be made
People questioning whether people on a fornicating boxing forum are boxing fans
People thinking they can tell people how they should spend their money or how they should view boxing (which is often an out and out rip off!)
I assume you shouldn't stream box office either, even though they are selling a British title fight as PPV? Support the sport and that.

Some of the idiots in General using words like coward or chicken. No man who steps in a ring to fight another is either a coward or chicken. It really gets on my diddies.
