Fighters I (you) didn't like for no apparent reason- Just didn't like the bastards!

Bellew, just the face and way he speaks.

Calzaghe
Martin Murray

I was never never never a Ray Leonard fan. Didn't like the hype even before he went pro, didn't like the big paydays for fighting tomato cans, didn't like the all American, Smiley, golden child coverage of him, didn't like the way he managed stuff to get every advantage in every fight ever, didn't like himgetting gift decisions against Hagler and Hearns. Superb fighter, no doubt about it, but I never rooted for him.

I also never was De la Hoya fan. Again, didn't like all the hype, and the all around golden boy media coverage saying what a great guy he was. No disputing his quality in the ring, although he is a cunt now he is grown up.

Saul Alvarez - played games with weight all his career to the extent he really is a cheat, never mind the failed dope test. The A Side against Golovkin and got a draw he really didn't deserve (never mind against Trout). Rewarded for that cheating by a huge pay deal. Cheating bastard who has milked the system superbly. Another very very good fighter.

Amir Khan. Just a total tool really, enough said. Thick as shit, emotionally incontinent on social media, chasing imaginary huge paydays while not taking on real tests. Good hand speed and always exciting, but a deeply flawed fighter.

........ and just to be controversial:

I have really gone off Anthony Joshua.

Another one who had huge hype before he even went pro. A hugely manufactured 'personality', just polished by media consultants, never get anything interesting from the guy, a fake character invented for the press, just repeats cliched little phrases all the time, and doesn't seeem interested in fighting anybody who is a threat. Really gone off this guy!

I could have quite easily included these (and Tony Bellew and David Haye) but I feel like I have reasons for disliking them.

Calzaghe I just always though was a cunt and Martin Murray bores the living shit out of me, no reasons other than that, I just don't like them.

Bellew is kind of a dick. But he does not raise my ire to that degree or makes me wanna shot him in the face with a rocket launcher!

[ykdadamaja]

Forgot to mention Bobby Jizz (Czyz). I want to find another fight with him being pounded into a puddle of his own tears and failures. Didn't really like him as an announcer either. In fact, I knew him as an announcer before I knew he was a fighter and hated the cocksucker!

[Spicoli]

Weird the reasons why fans can be turned off or at times straight up 'hate' a guy. I was a full blown hater when Oscar came out. of the Olympics. Just something about his big toothy constant smile and golly gee Eddie Haskell act . Not to mention shoved down fans throats. But as he went and got off the floor a couple of times respect for style..save for Tito partial track meet.. finds it's way in. I really liked Czyz on the mic for Showtime but he did find a way to opt out in some losses. Didn't care for basically blaming Holyfield for using dirty gloves in order to beat him either .

Pazienza...totally get the backlash for the whole gimmicky Andrew Dice Clay does boxing thing. He was a decent boxer at Lt but as he grew he became a bit of a caricature who fought like a caveman. Thumbed up when Aaron Davis turned him into a gargoyle.

Casamayor...just something about that guy.

Larry Donald and Cory Spinks!!!! Forgot those two but agree 100% with you. Could t stand either one.

Donald May have been because he pulled a no show vs Bowe and didn’t even try to win. Pathetic.

[Ron Swanson]

Can’t say any for no reason. Because whether valid or not I have reasons.

Pacquiao-liar, steroid cheat, constant excuses, suffering he inflicts on his people

Mosley-liar and a steroid cheat

Holyfield-liar, steroid cheat

Basically I hate the guys that smile and act nice while being complete scumbags in reality. If you are a POS at least be honest about it.

[palmerq]

I don't like yhe travelers at all... sure some of it will be because fury beat my favourite fair and square but fury and Saunders just really really unpleasant gits and no one seems as bothered about their failed drugs test and Subsequent bans as they are by someone like alvarez :S.... I don't think I dislike them due to them being pikey just then being utter bellends but that's sounds like an excuse a racist/bigot would make :S


But also I gave reasons there and that isn't really the thread question.... so I would second erik morales, I was always hoping he'd lose to barrera, even though morales was just a really good fighter who like to fight... never took a liking to Margarito either even before his scandals... I usually like Mexican boxing too :S.

[Master]

HTF can anyone hate Eric Morales, the man is a legend. Sure he may not have deserved the victory over barrera in the first fight but it was a classic.

[Gandalf]

Why on earth would anyone hate Joe Calzaghe? Gerald McClennan, sure. Adrien Broner, sure. Victor Ortiz, sure. But Joe Calzaghe the greatest fighter of all time? The man is an immortal and I want to drink tea with him.

His face looked a bit weird to me
