A lot of people used to support him and stick up for him, but they got tired of his act. Calling out a Klitschko, making an excuse, and fighting a lesser opponent. That spread out over 2 years soured many of people that were at one point willing to support him.

Of course I never liked the guy, but whatever, the point is now we're finally (hopefully) going to see "the big fight" and that's good for all fans.
