I do like a good old rant every now and then, especially if one of my favourite fighters comes unstuck in a dubious way. Khan is an easy one to dislike, but now that he is going to be on a diet of mandatories I don't think I need to give him any attention any longer. Who else? Of course Manny has been up there on my whinge list because he keeps beating everyone I like. Though, I did enjoy seeing him beat up DLH. DLH is of course another one that grates. The only thing emptier than ODLH is a cup.
My loathing of a fighter is seldom permanent, it ebbs and flows or else dissipates entirely. It often depends on who they are being matched up against and how they carry themselves in the build up and in the actual ring come fight night. 'Dancing boxers' have recently begun to annoy me more. Dawson, Dirrell and Haye all put up lacklustre showings and seemed to enjoy waltzing about more than engaging. That's all well and good but it's boring. I don't like to get up early on a sunday morning only to be immediately sent back to sleep through tedious antics.
Floyd Mayweather is the only one who irritates me in everything he does. I can never warm to him. He is just so unlikeable. He is also extremely thick, has no charm, nor manners and has obviously become seriously infected with his fathers genes. You get someone like Mayorga or Toney who can trash talk with a glint in their eye and an underlying humour and intelligence. This is something Floyd is never able to carry off, he's just Mr Big Thicky who gets his tongue all twisted up whenever he is asked to produce a word of more than 2 syllables. He is a class A muppet. And he stinks out the joint all too often with that boring style of his. He only throws punches in bunches if the other guy doesn't have the reach to hit him back.
You watch, Mayweather will be fighting Steve Forbes next.![]()
