Which boxers do you hate?

[rjj tszyu]

I do hate it when guys like Merchant and Sugar come down too hard on fights or fighters.....FFS there are bad fights every so often, don't act like each fight you see is the worst you've ever seen. Not every fight can be Gatti-Ward or Corrales-Castillo! And not every heavyweight bout can be Bowe-Holyfield. But you only hear those two cheer on certain fighters everyone else is a bum.


Man I've never been so happy to see Larry Merchant get his old heart broken by Cris Arreola vs Vitali...that was good ....and to hear Lampley's "BANG! BAM! BOFF! POW!" shtick just made it all the more satisfying knowing Old Larry had to sit there right beside Lampley while he was describing how bad Larry's boy was getting pounded...just a bonus to him watching it ringside

Is Merchant a Arreola fan?? Thats shocked me quite a bit! I have a lot of DVD's with Larry on commentary but not much recent stuff so I've never really heard him talk about big fat Chris.

He hasn't said much since then...but DAMN Larry was high on Arreola he wanted Cris to show what a "real heavyweight fights like"

Jesus he's got an hard on for Arreola. I really don't know why. I never have had much faith in him providing the goods. Maybe he's just desperate for an American HW champ. Personally I'd give Briggs more of a shot and I don't give him much of one.

...told ya dude. Yeah I figure Merchant and Burt Sugar just want to see one more great American heavyweight before they pass on, and there's no harm in that, but they don't have to hate so much on the guys fighting right now.

Hate is a hard word but here are guys that I hope (or hoped) get KTFO every time they lace (or laced) them up:

1. Vic Darchinyan (Don't give a f@&k if I spelled it right)
2. Ray Leonard
3. Zab Judah
4. ODLH
5. Joe Calzage (see above re. spelling)
6. BHop

(on the waiting list: anybody named Hatton, Rocky Juarez (because he obviously has compromising photos of some governing official), SHOWTIME.

Don't hate these guys, and in fact I've always respected them, but I don't like them!

I could go on for days on this subject!

I looked on Boxrec last night to see if there were any Americans coming through that could set the world alight and I came up with nothing really. Couple of good but very padded records.

Do you know if there is anything fresh in the Ams? Maybe just holding out for the Olympics before turning pro?

Deontay Wilder is the guy I am hoping makes it, but he's very raw right now. Dan Rafael commented about another guy who is a bit more polished but I will have to look through his chat wrap to find the name.

Just looked at some vids of Wilder. He looks Ok and in shape. Seems very slim at 6'7 and only 215-220lbs but I'm a fan of anyone who'll fight at their natural weight rather than adding fat to bulk up.

I'll keep my eye open for him.
