There's very few fighters I constantly root against, or for. I usually root for a fighter based on the potential matchup a win for that fighter may make. If it weren't for the potential Pavlik-Abraham match, I would've rooted for Miranda last weekend, but a win for Abraham helps the chances of a Pavlik-Abraham fight.

Whom I do root against is Nicolay Valuev. I want to see a small heavyweight knock him out. I want to see Valuev fall down to the canvas hard. It would be a sight to see such a big man crumble. Sort of like Mike White.

I root against Joe Calzaghe as I just don't like him.

I'll root against Vitali Klitschko if he ever makes it to the prize ring again, just so I can troll on other message boards and make his delusional fans mad.

I used to always root against Antonio Tarver, but I don't really care anymore. What annoyed me was his overrated performance in the first Roy Jones fight and how he cried about being robbed, when if anything, he robbed himself by being too inactive and staring at Roy in the middle of the ring for large stretches of the fight, worried about Roy's countering (and especially his bodywork).
