Who win this ? Usually most of the hate is towards Floyd but it's not if he's a PED cheat or uses illegal hand warps etc. I don't think I've ever hated another boxer and felt the need to really put them down.

Probably more favour of the month like, but that Resto guy probably has had far greater hatred than adoration.
Him and James Butler

Original & Best: The Sugar Man
Jack Johnson comes to mind...he wasn't as horrible as the rest of these guys but he was plenty hated.
Edwin Valero, Carlos Monzon, Ike Ibeabuchi, James Butler
Good group of bad seed.
Nice grab on Johnson and it was not just from the establishment. He turned his back on his own past and sold out to those in the game with the same colour skin pigment. I bet Mcvey, Jeanette, Langford and countless more hated his guts. I'd bet Robinson had his fair share also.
"Hate" is such an odd word
Here in Canada although most where I live have never heard of him, Matthew Hilton fits the bill especially in Quebec, specifically Montreal. That entire Hilton family was a train wreck.
Overall I'd say the colour barrier days had to be the worst vs any given person. Things like Moore having to fight 160 fights to get a title shot in his mid/late 30's and the rest of Murderers Row getting boned up the ass. Burley took that to his grave. That system pretty much defines the term.
Jack Johnson was vilified and chased out of his own country.
Muhammid Ali was hated by right wingers, army types and conservatives.
Mundine for his comment about 9/11
I hate Floyd
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Off the top of my head , Margarito.
I think Khan, Froch and Bellew are twats, but I couldn't say I hate them.
Jack johnson was the most hated ever.
He was as black as they come in the highest weight class and every fight he had the audience wanted to kill him and his mother.
There is no other fighter that went through that much hate...ever.
How on earth did that man sleep.
Tony Bellew
From a personal point of view I really can't stand David Haye and I can't see how he could ever do anything to change that.
There was a time when I hated Chris Eubank, but I eventually warmed to him. I was a big Nigel Benn fan which didn't help, but I ended up realising that Eubank was good for boxing. Amusing, eccentric character and the guy could fight. He was in some seriously hard fights during his career and he backed up all his talk. He was a very tough guy with an incredible heart.
For his time period.
It had to be Cassius Clay.
1) Who was the most hated fighter ever ?
Jack Johnson. Cassius Clay
2) Who should be the most hated fighter ever ?
Luis Resto. Margarito. James Butler
Has to be Resto for me and I'm not surprised that he's a guy from the islands (PR, Domincan Rep, etc) back then they taught their fighters to fight dirty.
I know this because my dad's friend was an assistant trainer to 2 world champions. One is Jese Benavidez of Corpus Christi, Texas. My dad's friend told me stories of some island fighters and it was really crazy. Ever wonder why Julio Cesar Chavez wore the red thing around his head ? Because Edwin Rosario tried to do voodoo/black magic shit on him. He was informed by another person that did the same stuff, and wore the red thing because that is supposedly blessed or reversed cursed.
I know it sounds dumb, but witch doctor s.hit is almost like another religion in Mexico and The Islands. Also if you look at Edwin Rosarios face when Chavez came into the ring, he has a bit of a slight shocked look. My dads friend told me that some of the Island trainers would deliberately teach their fighters dirty tricks. Like Trinidad hit low EVERY TIME he was hurt.
I saw the Resto documentary. I wish he would shut up because it's karma that he's now a broke bum and he has the nerve to bitch about Margacheato which is like a criminal who's doing 20 years in jail crying to someone that another criminal only doing 3 years for close to the same crime.
Besides Margacheato is a Neanderthal. He's too stupid to know when his trainer is tampering with his hand-wraps. Also at least Resto admits he’s done wrong and should be banned for life. While you have another (Margarito) who still claims he didn’t even know those plaster pads were even there.
