Re: Fighters I (you) didn't like for no apparent reason- Just didn't like the bastard
I was never never never a Ray Leonard fan. Didn't like the hype even before he went pro, didn't like the big paydays for fighting tomato cans, didn't like the all American, Smiley, golden child coverage of him, didn't like the way he managed stuff to get every advantage in every fight ever, didn't like himgetting gift decisions against Hagler and Hearns. Superb fighter, no doubt about it, but I never rooted for him.
I also never was De la Hoya fan. Again, didn't like all the hype, and the all around golden boy media coverage saying what a great guy he was. No disputing his quality in the ring, although he is a cunt now he is grown up.
Saul Alvarez - played games with weight all his career to the extent he really is a cheat, never mind the failed dope test. The A Side against Golovkin and got a draw he really didn't deserve (never mind against Trout). Rewarded for that cheating by a huge pay deal. Cheating bastard who has milked the system superbly. Another very very good fighter.
Amir Khan. Just a total tool really, enough said. Thick as shit, emotionally incontinent on social media, chasing imaginary huge paydays while not taking on real tests. Good hand speed and always exciting, but a deeply flawed fighter.
........ and just to be controversial:
I have really gone off Anthony Joshua.
Another one who had huge hype before he even went pro. A hugely manufactured 'personality', just polished by media consultants, never get anything interesting from the guy, a fake character invented for the press, just repeats cliched little phrases all the time, and doesn't seeem interested in fighting anybody who is a threat. Really gone off this guy!
