    chris eubank while he was undefeated he was the man they loved to hate , and then when the thompson fights came along the public perception of eubank changed and he was loved

    I first thought of Ali but I agree, I don't think anyone was hated on the scale that Johnson was.

    Sven Ottke - of course outside Germany and the obvious reason is the unbelievable number of robberies that made him retire as an undeafeated, unified champion of the world. :patsch

    Anybody using WBVA rember those polls - predicting results? You could always pick "Sven Ottke by KO 1" even if Ottke wasn't fighting :lol:

    How many? Which fights? And how did you score them?


    Answer obviously is Johnson.

    Johnson is number 1

    Schmeling has already been mentioned, but he was initially hated after beating Jack Sharkey when he apparently could not continue after being low blowed
