Fighters you dislike who everyone else seems to love

De La Hoya

Got tired of people worshipping the ground he walked on. Found him to be a fake, enamoured of his own image, shamelessly looking for smaller fighters to beat up on to "build his legacy", even more shamelessly promoted by the major networks who were desperate to find the next all-American boxing icon (and he happened to have cross-cultural appeal, so much the better).

Eventually, the fakeness came through, and his strategy backfired. He got his ass whupped by the smaller Pacquaio, quit on his stool, and whimpered into the sunset.

Oh well...

Hoya was old and drained against Pacman. He was nothing more than a walking Zombie so that loss doesn't count.

I loved it when he schooled the shit out of Tito though, making him look so foolish.. That's my favorite Hoya moment..

"That loss doesn't count"? My, you sound like a little kid, taking his ball back 'cause he can't play. And "schooled the shit out of Tito"? Sorry my frustrated little friend. Three Las Vegas (Mexican backyard) judges didn't agree with you.

Something must've moved Fernando Vargas to famously say before his fight with Tito: "THIS Mexican... won't run."

Facts are facts.. Hoya was old and drained and any objective boxing fan would agree...

lmfao.. You must put alot of stock into these incompetent boxing judges... IF you truly believe that Tito won, then you dont know shit about boxing.. Learn how to score a fight, squirt..

[p4pking]

Have to agree... Theres being a fan and all.. But De La hoya very very clearly beat Trinidad.

The fight could've gone either way... they chose to pick Tito. DLH himself admits to giving the fight away by running like a scared rabbit the last 3-4 rounds. Had the fight been in PR, I'd have less of an argument. But the fight was in the Golden Boy's backyard. So tell me genius... how does an undefeated "icon" get a fight taken away from him in his own backyard, on national television, with his fawning TV commentators looking on?

FELIX MOTHERFOCKIN' TITO FOCKIN' GODDAM TRINI-FOCKIN'-DAD. I COULD NEVER STAND THIS GUY. EVER. EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. (puertoricans pls dont jerk your knees jumpin' in here squealing "racism, racism" OK ) Plenty of fighters from that island I like.....let's see uhhh, Macho Camacho?? no, Im wrong , wait, uhhh, John Ruiz uhh, nope, wrong again on 2nd thought, uhhh, I know there's one.......

Yeah... gotta admit we don't have as many quality fighters as up in YOUR neck of the woods. I mean, you're in MASS, right? Otherwise known as the "Cradle of World Championship Fighters"?

I will get shot down for this: Lennox Lewis was just one big lumbering oaf! Everyone loves him on here, i don't! He got flattened a couple of times, definitely lost the 2nd Holyfield fight, never fought Bowe and yet is rated so highly on here. Ali and Holmes would've out boxed him easily, probably stopped him. Foreman would've have blasted him into the 7th row and prime Frazier and Tyson leave him in the Hasim Rahman position within 5 rounds.
I know i am in the minority on this as the Lewis nuthuggers out there will no doubt give me grief for expressing my opinion on Lennox Lewis, i have seen three toed sloths move faster than Lewis at the zoo!

Hahaha funny way of putting it and you didnt even use the word lummox.

He looked like he carried his own weight or bones a bit hard didnt he.

Savings grace in a stiff jab and moved around behind it well though and knew exactly when to come from behind it and get busy when it counted you have give him some credit.

The defense rests its case.

Yeah, history is doing a pretty good job of idolising Lewis retrospectively. he didnt get much credit overseas from the Americans and the Brits never really took to him either. He was not a 'natural' fighter who loved the combat and liked to make people look foolish or to hurt them but he was probably one of the finest 'athletes' that has ever walked into the ring. Wlad is as well - it used to be rare that you'd see guys 6'5" or bigger who were graceful and had good hand/eye coordination, but they are getting to be the norm now. I thought Lewis was a phenomenal athlete, who knew how to use his athleticism very well (and we criticise the Klits for that now), but he was a 'made' fighter rather than a natural. I don't think he was as bad as you do, but I donlt think he was as good as some people think either.

[Hulk]

Who are these guys?? for me it's......

Andre Ward- Dirty and VERY boring in my eyes.. Obviously he has some skills but people overrate this dude like crazy.. He's a good fighter but far from special.. It's a longshot but I hope Froch punches a hole in his face.. I can't stand him..

Pacquiao- ugly style.. Call me crazy but he never float my boat.

Cotto- pampered and that Judah win is still rubbish.. aimed for the balls whenever shit got rough..

Paul Williams- I remember many people calling him the next tommy hearns but i never saw the appeal.. He always seemed like a knockout waiting to happen.

Amir Khan

Gamboa- This dude may be riding high right now against so-so competition but as soon as he faces a boxer-puncher with counter punching ability, he's going down face first. Like Paul Williams, he's about to get it... ( not from Deleon )... He's so fundamentally flawed that it's scary.. I dont care how talented he is.. He has a horrible habit of moving straight back with his hands down/chin exposed and it's only a matter of time.. Only reason why he was able to get away with foolish mistakes was because of he was spoon fed with no-hope opponents..

And the number one guy on my all-time dislike list... drum roll please.. de geu de geu de geu de geu

Stinky Wright- He could be fighting the 50ft giant woman with her titties all hanging out and I still wouldnt watch that bullshit.. All those years when he used to fight on the Roy Jones undercards.. mann i couldnt stand his boring ass.

What about you guys?

I like Gamboa and Cotto, and Pacqauio, but I agree with you on the rest. Andre Ward is a very dirty fighter and fights much too safety first for his youth and talent.

Winky Wright was always a boring spoiler and pissed me off he beat the good fighters that he did beat like Mosley and Ike Quartey.

Amir Khan is a golden boy cocky little bitch a bit like Oscar used to be, but very talented.

I'd also like to add the Klitschkos to your list as I hate them and their cowardly safety first style, yet everyone on the forum pretty much is in love with them now and seems to rank Vitali on the same level as a prime Lennox Lewis

[p4pking]

I think Lewis is slightly overrated as well, I'd consider him just a hair better than Vitali in all honesty, and don't really enjoy watching either of them fight. He certainly never beat anyone that Vitali couldn't have in their same form imo.

[p4pking]

Winky Wright definetly wasn't for everyone, but I wouldn't exactly call him a spoiler seeing as he really was a pressure fighter despite his lack of power.

[p4pking]

I used to dislike Pavlik a lot, for some reason I really gunned for Miranda and Taylor when they fought him. Thought Jermain actually deserved the nod in their rematch but I imagine I'm really in the minority there. Hopkins beating him kind of curbed my anymosity I guess. Brandon Rios is a guy I really want to see get KTFO sometime soon, although I've come to respect it won't be an easy task. Dude sounds/acts like a freaking mongoloid though, must be slightly retarded at least imo.

[El Kabong]

Kelly Pavlik - he's one sided and has a bad attitude. He was HANDED stardom and he pissed it away.

Bernard Hopkins - Talented, but with all the racism and ugly fighting I really dislike him.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Great fighter, but such an asshole...he could have been celebrated like Roy Jones Jr, but he chose "the dark side"

Shane Mosley - I just never really liked the guy. I didn't like that he was gifted the rematch vs Oscar, I didn't like that he never fought Trinidad, I didn't like that he waited so long to fight Vargas, but he did beat Margarito like a drum and that's good.

[Rantcatrat]

Floyd Mayweather - I hate the racial stuff. It just irks me for some reason although I know it has been a part of boxing for a long time.

Bernard Hopkins - same.
