Jack Johnson.

Ali was the most hated for a while. So much so that during his exile his opportunities to regain his titles and fight credible opposition was severely compromised, and meant he had to fight some real bums.

The skinheads in the story mode of Fight Night Champion then? I would have said Isaac Frost, but I actually prefer him to the Bishop brothers.

[Mo Frazier]

I see several people mentioned John Ruiz...I've never really known anyone to say they disliked him, much less say he's one of the most hated. Why is he hated, what did I miss?

Is this a 'who do you hate?' or 'who was a fighter that was widely hated by the public' thread? Sonny Liston from what i have read was unpopular.

It HAS to be Jack Johnson doesn't it?

People despised Bummy Davis for ending Canzoneri's career.

Ali was really hated during his sabbatical and in the runup to the first Frazier fight.
