    Agreed, I don't think he was hated by most Floyd fans either, but certainly by some. And I agree about his extreme fans as wel.

    Either way. Pac was near the pinnacle of the sport and was widely beloved. So I don't believe simply being successful makes you hated in boxing.

    not even close, Ali had him beat hands down in his time. Ali was a draft dodger and a separatist.

    Because they both stay in shape and dominate and people on here keep predicting them to lose and they keep winning. That makes people upset for some reason. In my opinion more Boxers should follow their lead in how they treat the sport. They are the only 2 boxers to be on Sports Illustrated highest paid athletes list the last 4 years that is no coincidence.

    I don't think anyone really disliked pac before the shoulder excuse, people just hate his die hard fans.

    It's true and your fooling yourself if you don't believe it.

    or Jack Johnson. Ali had a lot of support in some communities while he was hated in others.

    On the whole, wlad is disliked for his hugging and in ring style etc, outside the ring he's a model sportsmen and a good guy. floyd is hated more for his ****ty behaviour (but he's done most of it on purpose), people just moan about his style because they hate him and it's another thing to have a go at him about.
