Who was the most hated fighter of all-time?

[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.
