    I bet you do :lol:

    For me it's Manny Pacquiao, I'm not sure if I still believe he isn't as good as everyone makes out or just want him not to be but to be honest I've never gotten over the "I won't take a test because it makes me weak" schtick. Just basically admitting he is using to me.

    Nobody else really, I dislike Fraudley and Matt Hatton but if they're fighting European or any other none English fighters I'd still root for them.

    I always rooted against Naz. Could never take to him.

    Always rooted against Eubank too, but mainly because I was (am) a Benn fan.

    Lately, I've not really rooted against any particular boxer. Still root for the odd boxer here and there but even that is less often, just tend to enjoy the fights these days than get hung up on the boxer. Still have my favourites but dont really root against anyone anymore.

    :lol: yeah tbh i'm bit same i take a disliking to a fighter and then wonder later down road why i actually dislike him.

    Calzaghe i never liked in early days. I think because he beat Eubank i detested him (Eubank was a hero of mine). Then i took to him more and more and in end was nervous when he fought Hopkins.

    I was never a fan of Khan. But i was happy for lad when he beat Kotelnik and took to him when he was humble. He then fell back into arrogant talk but it's his fans that make me want him to lose now. Other day a fanboy said i'm ''clutching at straws'' for replying to Laz post about McCloskey not being able to deal with 20k crowd. Supposedly i was claiming McCloskey would win because i said he could enjoy the atmosphere.

    So now i will be backing McCloskey and anyone else he fights. Sick of there biased nuthuggery.

    In the past I had always rooted against Calzaghe. But for current fighters:

    - Haye (a shame, because I was a fan of his)
    - Bradley
    - Rios
    - Mayweather
    - Margarito
    - Donaire (this is slowly beginning to change)

    I still think he is though. I honestly believe in his ability to beat the Klitschkos, I really do. But his attitude since joining the HW scene, has lost me as a fan. I doubt he gives a **** though.

    Antonio Margacheato.

    I truly wanted Pacquiao to send him out on a stretcher with oxygen.

    And to the Cotto hating pricks...How the **** can you not like Miguel Cotto?. Theres not one irritating trait in his fighting style or personality.
