Who was the most hated fighter of all-time?

[brocktonblockbust]

[AdamGB]

He also cut Cooper to ribbons and pushed Frazier to the brink.

Joe Bugner got a lots of hate after "beating" Henry Cooper. He was driven out of the country.

[brocktonblockbust]

He was driven out of the country.

Holy shite! In a Bentley or a limo?

1970s Britain, probably a mk1 Ford Escort.

[Dark Lord Al]

for me heres the top 3

Calzaghe.
Hamed.
Steve Robinson.

Calzaghe the most hated of all time?... Why?

It's not the fighters that YOU hate the most... It's fighters hated severely by many over history.

Or do you just personally hate him so much that that it makes up for the tens of 1000s who hated Ali etc more?

You hit the nail on the head with all three of my choices.
but i also couldnt stand Clay either.

Andrew Golota for me he just seemed like a dirty quitter to me. Larry Holmes is up there, he always seemed to have a chip on his shoulder and it showed. As of late David Haye and judging by the tweets and Facebook comments Floyd Mayweather.

[berry]

By far Chris Eubank, it was disturbing in pubs/clubs to see and hear so many guys seething 'Fucking Eubank, what a Wanker, WANKER' and no hints of smiles, only anger... lol.

[FinitoElDinamita]

Me pesonally, I disliked Hatton, Hopkins, and John Ruiz.. I can't stand these types of fighters.. OH and andre Ward.

[Master]

I have never liked Moorer as a heavyweight, hate Haye now and Audley as I thought he was the next Lennox but I know that will be Tyson Fury.

[Memphis]

Audley isnt such a bad shout. All the guy has ever done is promise more than he could deliver (everyone does) and be a bit shit.

[TitoFan]

I know alot of people hate Mayweather and Haye, but I think there may have been some others even more hated in boxing history. I will say I think Prince Nasim and James Toney were 2 fighters who were very hated. And John Ruiz would be a distant 3rd place followed by Zab Judah.

You hit the nail on the head for me. Those three have always been on my list. I've let up a little on Zab, and he's seemed to mature over time, and has been involved in some wars. But Toney and Naseem.... can't stand them.

Larry Holmes has always been on the list for me also, if only because of his incessant whining and racist attitude.

gee, wonder why you left out JOHN RUIZ (just kidding)
Larry Holmes I always liked for some reason, but I know what you and everyone else means about his whining.

LOL.... There's actually a twist to this. I don't hate John Ruiz, although I DID hate to watch him fight. (Watching his fights cured my insomnia). On the other hand... I never hated to watch Holmes fight. I just hated the guy himself. Same goes for Naseem and Toney. Well... maybe just Naseem. I actually enjoyed watching him fight, but hated the guy himself. With Toney, I hated both things. Didn't care for the guy... didn't care about watching him fight.

It's all kind of complicated, really.

[brocktonblockbust]

I also never liked Moorer for some reason as tough as he was I always felt he was a bit girly for some, can't quite pin it down. He just looked a bit childish or maybe slightly retarded, ?

[Mr140]

It really is amazing on how Ali went for most hated person to the most loved. I think was just the times and with age i think Ali has kinda been humbled not to mention he can barley walk around now to.

[Vendettos]

Jack Johnson.
