    Jmm and rafael marquez. They both cried like babies and felt that every loss they suffered, was by robbery. They had very memorable fights during their careers but i Couldnt stand the marquez brothers and im glad they both retired.

    Don't really hate any boxers. "HATING" boxers is for noobs and fanboys....

    I couldn't stand Carl Froch. He was insufferably arrogant and once upon a time you couldn't say that about him such was the Matchroom FC fanboyism around him. He was probably the Matchroom FC poster boy for a bit before Anthony Joshua started rising up the ranks.

    Now the same fanboys say things like "Froch is such a *****, terrible pundit", as if he wasn't during his career. He was far worse back then, even.

    I do respect him because he was always in great shape. You could tell he worked his balls off and he always gave it everything he had. He was limited, but ended up having a great career especially when he was ageing.

    I always liked Froch but I also never saw many interviews or followed him in any meaningfully way besides watching his fights

    Because it seems like he just won't let it go between him and Barrera and to a lesser extent JMM. They are heroes. Time for each to forgive the other the passions of their youth. They were all great and made me proud of my Mexican blood. Time to let it go now.

    I don't like Kovalev at all, because I am just not a big fan of that boxing style. But as a man? The way he live his life? BIg ups. Respek. Piece.
