    Perhaps Nathan Gorman and Golovkin.

    Gorman because of how dirty he fought against Dubois.

    Golovkin because he just seems like a sucker now.

    Eubank jr and Billy Joe Saunders due to their inactivity.

    I don't think he has, not seriously at least.

    Like I said I'm not calling him racist or anything I'm just saying after all that irritated me about him already, his stupidity in that instance was the final straw where I just gave up trying to like him

    Already unsurprisingly mentioned, but Canelo, easily. I had a lot of time for the guy, turning pro so young, taking the Mayweather fight, being very good, all of which made his descent into today's cherry-picking hype machine, with dubious fight decisions & over-lenient PED decisions under his belt, sorry, not my bag.

    Amir Khan for me.
    I legitimately thought he had a chance against Mayweather if they ever fought when the fight was given to Maidana instead.
    Now the guy is just comical to me whenever he opens his mouth. True he never really ducked anyone though.

    Another one is Cotto. Such a diva...

    Does that cover loaded gloves, illegal hand wraps?

    He said homosexuals should burn in hell or something like that I’d say that’s worse

    No he didn't. He has suggested it is ungodly, which is his religious belief. He's entitled to that opinion although I personally disagree with him. He has since said he does not hold anything against homosexuals but his religious belief stands.

    Not the same as suggesting people should support black owned businesses only and boycott white owned ones (again it's not that I hold it against him as him literally meaning that, although it is what he said - but it was idiotic and one of many such instances).

    Iam not defending either of them and I can’t find it on YouTube likely been took down but I think it was somewhere in between what I thought he said and you thought he said he also had derogatory comments on Jewish if I remember right but I can’t find it to back it up.

    I've stopped being a fan of Canelo since he's an arrogant drug cheat

    You may not be, but you have said Fury has said worse. I disagree

    I think fury has said worse because he held those beliefs and defended them or at least maintained them without apology, Joshua only said boycott shops and then explained that he was only reading someone else’s words (I don’t believe that myself like but he did try and make it clear that it wasn’t his opinion).

    Kovalev after the fix in the Alvarez fight. He wasn't even throwing any power shots which is not like him, he was just doing some pitty patty **** and winning, then suddenly he gets KO'd. It was weird, it must have been a fix.
