    Glenn Johnson, whinging cunt who can never be on the wrong end of a close decision, it happens Glenn, get over it.

    Edison Miranda and Ricardo Mayorga. Too much lip and get whacked out at the top end.

    Carl Froch. Talks like he's a world beater, we still dont know if he is or not.

    Im sure I'll think of more.

    Miguel Cotto, just because everybody else practically worships him. The fact that he is Puerto Rican doesn't help.

    I always root against Mayweather. Now, I am not a hater. I see with my own eyes the amazing skill he has. But there is something about him as a boxer that I suspect is lacking and I think it is his chin. For years I suspected that of Roy Jones ever since Lou del Valle dropped him, but Roy's defense was so good that none was able to test his chin until Tarver and Johnson came along. I think it's the same with Mayweather. No one will be able to test his chin as long as he keeps fighting the Gatti's the Baldomirs the fading de la Hoyas, who doesn't commit to his punches as he used to.

    Zahir Raheem- boring as fuck, his fights consist of twelve rounds of hugging and falling down. Also was ridiculously overrated after the Morales fight. I don't really remember anybody agreeing with me back then when I said that Pac would beat him, he was really overrated. Mostly its just that he's boring.

    Daniel Ponce de Leon- I am now a huge Juan Manuel Marquez fan. I can't stand plodding one punch at a time guys who rely pretty much solely on power.

    Rocky Juarez- See reason I don't like Ponce

    Sam Peter- See reason I don't like Ponce and Rocky Juarez.

    I could go on a few more, but that's good enough. The main thing is I simply don't like boring fighters, I care much less about what kind of person they are outside the ring (not that you can tell what's real and what's an act anyway). If you're obnoxious and get on my nerves outside the ring that doesn't help but its not the be all, end all.

    This one is a bit difficult to explain. I like him (even if nobody believes me) but like you said, people seem to worship him around here and I get into debates all the time about him being invincible and all. So now, when I see him fight I wish he lost to just prove my point. I don't remember anybody even daring themselves to mention a weakness (and he shows many in EVERY fight). I really wanted him to face Floyd. That would be an interesting scenario for me because while I cross my fingers to see him spank Floyd silly and finally see someone beat him I also would want to see Cotto be dominated to prove my point and go "See? I told you guys he was too slow, bad defense, got cut since round one, punches rained all over him from all different angles, he couldn't even make Floyd sweat, etc." . If he was not as overrated and worshipped I would probably be rooting for him against Floyd all the way.

    Antonio Margarito, same thing.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. Just wanted someone to put him in his place and see how he would take the loss. I wanted the same thing for Naz and he took it quite well and gave MAB all the credit, no excuses. After that, I started liking Naz. Same thing for ODLH. I just wanted to see him loose before. After his first loss I started liking him.

    Pac. It's not because I don't like him. He's a humble guy and is not known for talking trash. But I would like to see how all his fans would take a REAL loss. I say "real" because his fights against Marquez had some questionable desicions.
