    Pernell Whittaker never liked his stupid smirk and he plays too damn much. Great fighter though i have him in my top 10 ATG.

    Lennox Lewis overrated actually liked him at first especiaylly when he kod Ruddock, His stock dropped with me a little after that.

    Took me awhile to really appreaciate Erik Morales early on i didnt see what the big fuss over him was about(except when he lifted Angel Chacon off his feet with a ko punch). But after the first fight with Barrera that all changed, I had bet money on the Underdog Barrera in that fight i could not understand why Morales was favored.

    I cant really think of anyone. Eubank at first, then I respected him later at the end of his career. I guess I'm more disappointed about Eubank than anything else, if only he'd got the big fights.

    Me too i never got into Barrera, and was not a big fan of pacquiao.
    This is probably due to me being a morales fan

    Oh yeah i forgot about Mcguigan, he seemed like a good guy and was exciting, but i just didnt like how the Media would hype him up so big and make a big deal of the Religious conflicts in his country. Besides i liked Azumah Nelson better and i thought it was unfair to Nelson when some people would say Mcguigan could have beat him(since they were both 126 champs at the same time). I knew better and always stood firm that Nelson would have destroyd Mcguigan.

    I was happy when Stevie Cruz pulled the upset .I reminded others telling them"I told you Barry was overrated"!

    Lennox Lewis - very overrated and a douchebag.

    the only fighter i have ever hated is british boxing's answer to the queen mother.
    he's often in boxing books with titles like boxing greatest of legends or such.
    henry friggin' cooper.
    55 fights in 17 years and he limited his appearances because he didn't want to pay too much tax.has made a good living out of knocking ali down,though he nearly bled to death later in the fight.
    he was knocked out by ali,patterson,johansson and zora folley and lost to a lot of others too.gained a knight-hood for services to god knows

    And to an extent, Floyd Jr

    I hated him and his big mouth as a fighter,but I like him as a commentator as he's professional and seems to have left his prodigious ego at the door.
