    I dislike certain fighters because they either have a stinking attitude or duck every decent fighter in their class. but some fighters I just never took too.

    Joe Calzaghe never enjoyed his fights ever. no issue with him just couldn't get him, same with Matthew Hatton, Danny Garcia (did enjoy watching him beat Khan )

    Crawford, Danny Garcia, Emo Santa Cruz, gervonta Davis, Tyson Fury(he almost won me over by humiliating Wilder), Mikey Garcia, Spence, Daniel Jacobs, Bivol, Berchelt, Gilberto Ramirez..
    These are the current top guys and the list is much longer.
    I mean I will watch their fights, as they are big names and occasionally in importants fights, but I rarely enjoy their performances.
    Like I don't give two shits about Canelo, but I love watching him in the ring.
    They all have a few performances that I f8nd spectacular, but I usually dont care about their fights at all.

    All of the former Soviet fighters that have popped up over the past 10 years.
    They've all been boasted as the answer to many North American fighters and hyped beyond belief and every last one of them has been a bust.
    Kovalev- beat up by Ward 2x
    Lomachenko-beat up by Salido and ran off to duck all pressure fighters since.
    Golovkin- CAN crusher exposed by welter weight Kell Brook before getting his soul crushed by Canelo. Now he's back to the CAN circuit.
    I blame HBO for my dislike for these fighters. They were ramming their garbage down our throats and now all of these guys can take their money back to the USSR and till wheat and make sausages till they visit the big gulag in the sky.

    Froch- to pompous
    Broner- just an a-hole
    Larry Holmes- too bitter

    first three that came to mind

    You're being disingenuous if you say Ward beat up Kovalev twice. Same if you're saying Loma hasn't changed since his second fight ever in the pros. Same if you're saying GGG was exposed by Brook and beaten by Canelo.

    I should like him (given my bias towards what I like in boxers stylistically), but I just don't. Every time I see him I am underwhelmed and I really don't know why. I really, really am not a fan.

    It's the opposition that underwhelm you about him. They look so bad and it's because they are usually.
