I have a feeling that this will devolve into a specific type of sh!t hurling spree.

I picked GGG, but think Krusher is a close second. You might be right about the hurling spree.

What does nut hugged mean?

GGG and Joshua from what I've seen, I get supporting someone, and I actually like GGG, but the fanboyism around those two is insane.

You put "Gingerhead" in the poll, so... this thread can't devolve. It's actually already at the lowest possible level.

He pretty much calls himself Gingerhead.

Fan is derived from fanatic.

Which active boxer has the most fanatical base of support?

Or

Which active boxer has the most fanboys supporting him?

Or?

Yeah, I don't know what it means either.

What is derogatory about nicknaming him GingerHead?

If it just means who has the most fans, I'd say its between GGG, "Gingerhead," or Wlad.

Can't really judge considering I live in the US. It sure as hell isn't an American.

See above.

Nut-hugger = fanboy = fanatical follower

Nut-huggery is a few steps beyond normal fan activity. Kind of like the difference between being religious and being a religious fanatic.

I probably should have included Fury.

So true

Generally speaking, the Brits are the best sporting fans. Joshua.......

Must be Manny Pacquiao?

The Philipines stops when he fights & they mourn when he loses.

I think it should be the fighter whose reality is furthest from his fans reality.

I think that fighter is currently Canelo.

or any British fighter ...

It's not necessarily the fighter's fault if his fans are "nut huggers." Wlad has always been respectful and some of his fans make the 3rd Reich look moderate.

GGG and "Gingerhead," as far as I know have been like Wlad. Tyson Fury is another story.

The question of the thread is very regional. It's almost asking: Who annoys you the most; Eastern European fans, Mexican fans, or British fans?

Among hardcore fans probably GGG, although he's a great fighter who deserves a lot of support. Canelo and Joshua are probably right up there considering casuals. Guys like Kovalev, Roman, Loma have their share of supporters, but not up there with the previously mentioned names.

Wilder gets loads of hate (I've been criticial of him, but even I think it's gone too far) and not too much support from what I've gleaned, as is the case with Danny since the turn in his matchmaking. Wlad has plenty of strong supporters, but probably about just as many detractors as well.

Wlad for sure.

Dammit! I completely forgot that he survived The Planquiao

I kind of disagree with the "or any British fighter," given the criticism I see nearly every British boxer endure on B & I.

I am mildly surprised by the votes Joshua is getting.

.

Golovkin fans are definitely very passionate about their fighter, for good reason. I'm a huge Golovkin fan, but even I'm sick of having to constantly explain how he's fought contenders and he does in fact have a solid resume. One star name on his record and all that sh*t goes away.

This thread is not meant to criticize the fighters. It is all about those who worship them.
