Jack Johnson comes to mind...he wasn't as horrible as the rest of these guys but he was plenty hated.

Good group of bad seed.
Nice grab on Johnson and it was not just from the establishment. He turned his back on his own past and sold out to those in the game with the same colour skin pigment. I bet Mcvey, Jeanette, Langford and countless more hated his guts. I'd bet Robinson had his fair share also.
"Hate" is such an odd word
Here in Canada although most where I live have never heard of him, Matthew Hilton fits the bill especially in Quebec, specifically Montreal. That entire Hilton family was a train wreck.
Overall I'd say the colour barrier days had to be the worst vs any given person. Things like Moore having to fight 160 fights to get a title shot in his mid/late 30's and the rest of Murderers Row getting boned up the ass. Burley took that to his grave. That system pretty much defines the term.

Jack Johnson was vilified and chased out of his own country.
Muhammid Ali was hated by right wingers, army types and conservatives.
Mundine for his comment about 9/11
I hate Floyd
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
