Boxers you started off liking but wound up disliking

I'm tired of hearing this "Loma dragged Rigo two weight classes and Rigo accepted it cuz he's dumb" ......Rigo is the one who wanted it, he started the social media campaign. He asked for it, if he Loma wouldnt have accepted the challenge he would've been called a ducker. Period



Anyway , find another reason to hate on Loma cuz thats BS and you and Willie Maeket know it

 

DeGale. He started off really arrogant in his career, then became more humble after the Groves loss and I started liking him. I had big respect for his exploits as a road warrior but he soon became arrogant and dislikeable again while having a couple of lucky escapes in the ring before it caught up with him against Truax.

Used to really like Kovalev, he had an exciting style and went about cleaning up the division. I thought he won the first Ward fight and felt sorry for him, but afterwards showed himself to be petulant and by all accounts had a poor attitude in the gym and disrespected everyone else. He gave himself no chance in the second Ward fight.

 

Thurman, what happened to him?

 

I was a big fan of Pretty Boy Floyd. Around 2001, my Wife and I (girlfriend at the time) named the fish we had in college, Floyd.

I rooted against Money Mayweather.

 

Lomachenko never "dragged" Rigo up 2 weight divisions.

Rigo was offered the fight at 126 and walked....hes been avoided disgustingly at SB so he should have moved up or down to get the fights his legacy and career needed.....just like Lomachenko has had to do.

 

You're mad because your mom, sisters, grandmaw, gay brother, nieces, and girlfriend/wife would let Loma shoot his DNA into their eyes and down their throats. And being honest, you want that Loma D, too.

 

Ward is horrendous on the inside.

In his initial meeting with Kovalev he was dropped, outboxed and out punched.....he should have lost.

So into the rematch he was once again being outboxed and out jabbed....he had to turn it dirty and ugly in order to win....I have no problems with this.

However....when you have to fight like this against journeymen, B level and C level fighters when you are apparently "elite" there's a problem.

 

Groves
Khan
Canelhoe
Wood house
Burns

Off the top of ones head

 

Pacquiao, Kovalev, Khan, and Canelo. I don’t hate these guys or anything like that, but they all just kind of annoy me in different ways. The opposite is the case with Floyd...I couldn’t stand him at first but grew to respect him and his talent and by the end of his career, I was a big fan.

 

You are ******ed

aare

 

"It was the fanboys! The fanboys, I tell you! They made me do it!"

 

The bold and underlined perfectly describes Anthony Joshua. As a Heavyweight who makes for exciting fights, I want to like him; but he comes across as so heavily manufactured and polished, and his interviews / comments feel so phoney and scripted that I just can't find it within myself to do so. Eddie Hearn basically wants Joshua to be this guy who kisses babies and who hugs fat girls, to the point of compromising and airbrushing away his true personality.

A lot of people -- mainly casuals -- will readily buy into all of that. But I refuse to.

 

Generally I dislike a fighter first, and then come to like him. Can't think of the inverse really; once I like a boxer, I don't think I've ever fully turned on them.

I guess Tyson Fury is about as close as it gets. I'm bitter that his mental issues have deprived us of seeing what he could do. But I'll still root for him if he ever comes back (which I'm doubtful).

 

Joshua is faker than Pamela Anderson’s rack. I’ve never bought into the act of that POS and his stupid “Stay Humble” bs.

 

wilder haha.. I was a huge fan of him in 2014-2015.. but not stepping up and acting like a total clown in videos put me off I can't stand him now... canelo I liked him in 2013-14... but lost interest after the lara fight.. plus hes with Oscar which I can't stand.
