I disagree.
There are many of both Conor haters and Conor fan haters.
I've been accused of being a Conor hater on hundreds, maybe thousands of occasions.
From what I've heard, saying things as simple as "Conor didn't dominate the first round against Nate" qualifies me as a hater.
Now that is so dumb I don't know how to respond to it. And saying that he didn't dominate is not only true, I can see no way that there can be a hateful syllable in the sentence.
I've even had people tell me straight up that if I "can't see that Conor is a better boxer than Nate then (I'm) just a hater."
Again, sheer stupidity.
By those idiotic standards, then any sane person who has a rational assessment of the fight qualifies as a hater.
I don't know where you stand on it, but that's mostly what I've seen.
And I hate the idiots who say things like that.
I really haven't seen a ton of people hating on Conor, the man. I've seen them bitching about his actions, which are often fair criticisms:
Shit talking gets tons of criticism here, no matter who it comes from. Not defending one's belt gets tons of criticism on here, no matter who it comes from (look at the hate directed at Woodley!! And he's
PLANNING TO DEFEND AGAINST A BONAFIDE GOAT!!)
Talking shit and then losing has always brought out critics in every form of competition, in every context, since the beginning of time...Conor's been on the receiving end of that, but that's of his own doing--and it's definitely not a product of hate.
