Amir Khan for me I just don't care for the guy and cant wait til he gets knocked out again.
Re: Fighters you dislike who everyone else seems to love
I'll get more hate than anyone on this thread: Erik Morales.
MAB was my favorite fighter when those two were in their primes, and Morales was just such an ungracious dick throughout that rivalry, taking everything so personally. Watching him get knocked around the ring and give up in PacIII was a great moment.
Also agree on Lennox Lewis. The Manny Steward one-two-and-grab prototype. Even he looked bored with his own fights in the ring.
Ricky Hatton as well -- the most overrated person on Saddo for a long time. I remember suggesting that Pac could move up and beat him back when Pac was fighting at LW and people telling me I was an idiot. Such an ugly "style" too.

I am the opposite, I liked MAB but when he sucker punched EM, I hated him for it.
Re: Fighters you dislike who everyone else seems to love
Barrera is another one.. He's a great fighter but i always never a fan of him because of his dirty ways.. Dude sucker punched Mikenney, suckers punched morales and ran off like a punk, and i remember him getting dirty against pacman when things weren't going his way. Headbutting and punching after the bell. It was pathetic.
Barrera is dirtier than hopkins yet he always got a pass because he's Barrera..

-Amhir Khan-
Don’t like how he talks about himself as if he was the greatest thing out there. Sure, he has shown some improvement. Has some speed, decent power, good legs, etc. His chin is still questionable. TV commentators praise him as the greatest thing out there.
-Manny Pacquiao-
I was ok with him until I heard his questionable contradicting excuses to not take a random blood test (afraid of needles, blood makes him nervous, cannot train properly for weeks after a blood test, a nurse can hurt him if she doesn’t do it properly, etc.). After that, I started to dislike him. Can’t ignore that he has speed, stamina, etc. but then again, I am not even sure if he has those qualities naturally or because of the things his trainer Ariza may put in his veins. Then you have all these tv commentators praising him as well as all the casual fans but nobody questioning all the reasons he has come up with to not take random blood tests.
-Lennox Lewis-
I never thought he was the greatest thing out there. Had a questionable jaw/chin. If he got connected he would get all exhausted and sloppy. I just never thought he was a dominating force in the division as Mike Tyson was for many years or other heavyweights from the mid 90s and before.
-Any Asian guy that refuses to fight outside his country-
They have to leave the arena in a stretcher to really give the decision to the visitor.

Re: Fighters you dislike who everyone else seems to love
I used to dislike SRL. Great skills; probably a nice guy, but I wasnt into the amount of tickets he had hanging off himself back in the day. Strange because Ali did it all too, probably worse but that was Ali that was actually his persona, I could handle that much easier ,and loved the guy I suppose his was more jest like and right over the top.
So I have no idea why I felt that way :confused:.
I like him now though, either he is older and more mellow or I am.

I have always disliked SRL because I saw the fraud of a comeback against Hagler and the rip off against Hearns, the farce against Duran but loved Norris/Comacho beating him. However before the comeback, in his prime he was simply awesome, but still hate him. :)
Re: Fighters you dislike who everyone else seems to love
I could never get why person would hate SRL in his prime he beat Benitez, Hearns, and Duran not even sure we saw his prime because of his lay off. As for the Hagler fight shit was close and Leonard got the nod don't see what the big deal is with that. As for the Hearns fight he said him self thought he lost but he was pretty past it by then. He was 36 in the Norris fight and 41 in the Camcho fight so i don't really care about him losing those fights. I am guessing master you are a Hagler fan why you hate Leonard.

No more a Hearns fan, I thought the Hagler fight was a draw however. SRL was the golden boy, silver spoon in his mouth, whereas Hagler was blue collar who worked his butt off to get respect. I realised SRL was a truly great welterweight fighter before the comeback. The comeback was phony and all those titles winning against Lalonde was a joke.
Re: Fighters you dislike who everyone else seems to love
I did not like George Foreman, he plays the nice guy in his comeback and laughs off the opponents he fought who were a joke during his comeback. He seemed smarmy and I would have liked to see Holmes batter him.

No he's a true man. :cool:
Mckinney was slagging of mexico/mexicans so he got a slap.
He said to Morales - call be me a fag again and I'll hit hit - Fag- Bitch slapped.

And MAB ran like a bitch when Morales was going to kick his head in during the pre fight conference.

he hit him and didn't get hit back;)....did you see the grin on his face ;D
Re: Fighters you dislike who everyone else seems to love
I love Barrera but he did run like a bitch after initially dishing out a clump.
Morales-Barrera street fight = Barrera getting a hiding.
