Honesty Thread - Tell us one bad trait of your favourite fighter
I got the idea for this thread from hearing either "youre a fanboy" or "youre a hater" when certain arguments are made. Sometimes its justified sometimes not.
soooo..be honest. Show your objectivity and tell us one negative of your fave fighter.. ;)
i'llstart..Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Icalled it a "bitch move" when he turned up 2lbs overweight when he came in against JMM. I still stand by that. Very unprofessional. I also hate his behaviour sometimes. Burning money in clubs? wtf? and talking to 50 cent through a wad of money?? its too forced and fake.
Eubank was my fave growing up. He had a few questionable decisions and didnt fight the opposition that Benn did..but he's still the fuckin man!!!! :D
ok your turn..
Re: Honesty Thread - Tell us one bad trait of your favourite fighter
Nigel Benn = cheated on his Mrs constantly
Mr Eubank = cheated us fans on not fighting stella opposition
Scott Harrison = waste of tallent
Duran = for going on the piss and not training properly for the 2nd Sugar Ray fight
Khon = for being a total numty out of the ring
Hatton = for not keeping the weight off and pissing it up between fights
Re: Honesty Thread - Tell us one bad trait of your favourite fighter
Juan manuel marquez- He's too brave for his own good.. He just oozes of Aztec warrior.
Re: Honesty Thread - Tell us one bad trait of your favourite fighter
Tyson - insecure, thieving criminal, rapist, child molester, coward, cannibal, wasted talent/greatness by chasing too much pussy.

Haha I don't know if I'm gonna allow that one! It's like going to a job interview and when they ask you "So, if there was one thing you'd say you weren't so good at, what would it be?" and you reply with "Well..sometimes I find myself working TOO hard!"
That's a positive-negative ;D
but yeah I see what you're saying. Marquez is one of my faves and I have a hard time thinking of anything negative about him..Oh yeah, he once drank his own urine. That's good enough.
And Master..Tyson is an easy one!!
Dean Duke..I don't know if you can call Amir Khan one of your faves if you call him "Amir Khon"?? :cool:
Come on Pacquiao and Joe Calzaghe fans...come out to play ;)
Here's another former favourite of mine : Fernando Vargas
I kinda liked his cocky attitude and how he used to piss off everyone's faves (Tito + De La Hoya), just hated that he would gas and run out of idea's later on in a fight. If he could go down the stretch, I estimate we'd be talking about him as an ATG
Re: Honesty Thread - Tell us one bad trait of your favourite fighter
Althugz I love Tyson.
Julio Ceaser Chevaz was a very bad and ungracious loser who never gave credit when he was beat.
Re: Honesty Thread - Tell us one bad trait of your favourite fighter
Manny Pac... not taking the drug test and not giving Marquez his due.
Ali... massive racist in the 70's and fighting on for far too long
Naz.... never using the rematch clause with Barrera and promising comebacks when he knew he was done.
Mayorga.... taking fully blown shots from guys how could KO him
DLH.... turned into a promoter and his word being as good as kings now :-\
Hatton..... fame turning him into a prima donna
Howard Eastman... frustrated the shit out of me how he couldn't go up a gear
Pele Reid.... not having a chin.
Calzaghe.... waiting too long to have the superfights massive waste IMHO
Zab Judah... Just never winning any meaningful fight :-\
Witter... arrogant to the point of stupidity
Bruno... thick as pigshit
Tyson... mentally unhinged
Mia St John... only doing one playboy shot ;D;D;D
Wayne McCullough.... just wish the guy had a punch :(
Re: Honesty Thread - Tell us one bad trait of your favourite fighter
Cotto & Morales: Choose to trade way to often against opponents they could easily outbox

Nice list!
Dunno about Ali being a racist..he came up in really racist times and was telling some home truths that people just werent ready for. Did he say anything out of line I may have missed?
Totally forgot about Ali. A definite fave. A true war hero imo for standing up for his beliefs and refusing to shoot down innocent people, even at the expense of his freedom. I hope the U.S issues him an apology for that. Only negative for me was he went on too long. That fight against Holmes was so damn sad. He was a punching bag

The wife got me an old copy of a book he wrote called "the greatest" just after beating foreman and the middle section reeked of anti white stuff to the point I skipped through it as it was that bad and i always remember seeing video footage of him stating he would never date a white women. might sound fine but lets just imagine one of the Klits publicly said they would never date a black woman it would kinda bring it into focus. ;)
