    After looking at the huge amounts of dislikes on every single video on IFL TV or other boxing outlets on YouTube featuring these two, I thought it would be worth doing a quick poll to see who people dislike the most on here. Feel free to vote away

    Yarde is much worse as at least Okolie has been fighting the best in Britain and doesn't claim to be at the top of the division and wouldn't say he was A side of a fight v Usyk unlike team Yarde who think they are the A side v Kovalev lol

    Ugly fights or not, at least Okolie has taken risks.

    Yarde is more annoying but Okolie is just a terrible boxer. Seen him hitting the pads on the open work out before. Shocking.

    I didn't know Yarde was annoying?

    People are frustrated that he ain't taking risks, but character wise he's a normal guy.

    Okolie is just pure arrogance and has an annoying attitude/demeanor but yeah he does step up.

    Neither are annoying as personalities but Yarde annoys me more as a boxing fan as he has fought no one yet is proclaimed as one of the best on the planet...at least Okolie is realistic about where he is and has fought some decent fighters...

    Okolie is less annoying because although he has stunk the joint out twice now in big fights, atleast he has had the balls to step up and face some decent opposition.

    Yarde is a complete fraud.

    I dont have any issues with Yarde, who seems fairly down to earth and keeps himself to himself (aside from the lions in the camp stuff). It's more Tunde and his team that give him a bad rep.

    Okolie is just boring and overrated.

    I tell you something. This is a tough poll. Tough. Both are utter cretins.

    Is this a wind up? His pad work and training videos are the peak of arrogance.
