1. Carl Froch - is def top of my list, he is arrogant and cocky and mouths off about being the best but hasn't fought anyone of any note, Brian Magee is really poor but he struggled with him, Robin Reid looked absolutely terrible and it still took him a while to get him out of there, he is reasonably talented and throws decent shots from awkward angles but I just don't like him, every time he steps in the ring whoever he is fighting I want to see him lose.
2. Nikolay Valuev - Again I hate seeing him win just because he is such a terrible boxer and athlete, if he beat Marciano's record it would have been a disgrace, for years he was no more than a unbeaten fighter who scrapped around to make a living, give him his dues he did improve over the last couple of years but just watching him makes me cringe, big hairy with slow shots but towering over his opponents. I would love to see Chagaev beat him again, I have nothing against him personally but seeing him win just reminds me how bad the heavyweight division is.
3. Sven Ottke - Retired I know, but there was talks of him making a return so felt justified in including him, the thing is with Sven is it is not his fault why I don't like him, in my opinion he lost a number of fights even if he was gifted the decisions and the wins took a lot away from the guys who deserved to beat him, the one that comes to mind the most is Mads Larsen, he was a good fighter but that loss took so much of his love for the sport he spend a long time away from the ring. I didn't like watching him fight either, really dull.
4. Joe Spina - I don't like the way he portrays himself he is very arrogant but neither him or his team will take a risk against a decent fighter, he lost badly to Manfredo and has since struggled against pretty basic guys, but somehow he has managed to hold his ranking and reputation. He need to step up or shut up.
5. Daniel Ponce De Leon - This is only more recently since he could knock anyone out with one punch, he has recently discovered this is not the case and he has a number of weaknesses himself he need to work on, think the guy has talent but is wasting it with his wild swings, more of a frustration thing that a hate thing though.
