I can't support any fighter that habitually disrespects other fighters. They can't seem to realize the other fighter deserves some respect for being there too.
Ali was bad that way, cute poems, nicknames, making his opponents look stupid or foolish especially in the ring and during interviews.
I disliked Ali for a few reasons, this is one of them.
Ali, a great fighter and a first class prick.
Demetrius Hopkins- He had so many gift decisions go his way
Eric "Butterbean," Esch- a complete mockery/circus sideshow to boxing
"Don't worry Brother Malcolm, I've got your back."

I understand that life is about opportunity and taking the chances you are given in life but there is something about Julio Cesar Chavez Junior's delusions of entitlement that leave me absolutely disgusted.
Could never ever support that guy.

I find it difficult to support Tony Ayala, even in replays. Adonis Stevenson is another and I've never felt the same about Evander Holyfield since the 'Evan Field' stuff.
However, as an example of my hypocrisy, I do support other fighters with long criminal records![]()

I am not really sure what it means to support a fighter. Unless you travel and go to watch all his fights then surely you are just a fan anyway. I don't really care much for the antics and attitude of Eubank Sr and Jr, and if Jr got put on his arse or sparked out I can't deny that it would be quite satisfying and pretty funny, if only to see his petulant face afterwards, but the reality is, if he got back up after a knockdown then It actually makes him more of an underdog and as a Brit I would respect him for it and like anyone else enjoy an upsetting of the applecart. If Cotto gets beaten by Canelo, I wouldn't shed any tears but I have enough respect for him as a fighter that I can appreciate his ability to win even if as a person, he is a complete dick.
A loss is sometimes a great way to gain support once fans have seen who they perceive as arrogant or coddled, or simply a bloke with a grating personality, get knocked down a peg or two. (Didn't really work for Broner though)

How could I have forgotten David Haye. Talks his way to a title shot, then cries about a toe. That he danced and ran on all night long.
I'd support Witter & Casamayor before that fraud of a fighter.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
Amir Khan and probably Carl Froch...........who am I kidding, DEFINITELY Carl Froch!
For those who chose Muhammad Ali
Do you honestly believe he would support you, if you had a 'slight' difference of opinion from his.
Go ask 'Malcolm X' how his friend Cassius Clay stood by him, and watched his back.
I Rest My Case.

It's hard to say that I couldn't support a fighter but probably arreola because I hate fat HWs. Also, he just seems super annoying

The trouble with boxing and the nature of the sport is that, somewhere down the line, even the fighters you hate the most end up earning your respect.
I hated Chris Eubank for a very long time, but that guy really could fight and had one hell of a heart. When he stepped in the ring against Calzaghe as a washed up shadow of his former self and fought Joe toe to toe like a true warrior, I had to admire him and I really did want him to win.
It's often only when a fighter retires that you start to really admire them. Eubank was kind of fun and good for boxing and I like him now more than ever, even if he is still a complete dickhead. I didn't much like Naz back in the day either, but he was a great fighter who always put on a show. He took the MAB defeat much better than I expected to as well. He was pretty humble about it, which came as a surprise. Had he carried on fighting I would have been behind him.
Of the current crop, I could never see myself supporting Mayweather. Not in a million years.
