I don’t hate any active fighters, or retired ones for that matter. Some of the trash talking guys make me cringe once in a while but I get it, they are trying to sell a fight. It’s a brutal sport and I never wish harm on anyone. A couple guys get on my nerves for different reasons. Andre Ward takes himself so seriously and seems like a total douche so I am not a fan. Also, Pimp Stevenson trafficked women and I disapprove of that sort of thing so I always rooted against him. I was still very concerned when he was in a coma and was glad to see him recover. Sorry my list is short three names. I’m going with Ward and Stevenson but zero hate, just a mild dislike. I think fans are much more irritating than fighters. Canelo’s fans get in my nerves, same with Mayweather fans back in the day and Conor MMA fans are high on my dislike list. If I think long enough, I’ll probably name fans of every popular fighter so I’d better end it here. Fans are way more irritating than fighters. I include myself in this group of irritating a-holes, top of list.
1. Mayweather Jr - Handpicked & disadvantaged opponents + he’s a complete nob 2. Bernard Hopkins - Horrible, messy spoiler & loudmouthed racist 3. Wilder - 40+ fights against unranked or fighters outside the top 300 + “body on my record” stuff
Canelo because he is always supported by the judges. Adonis Stevenson I used to hate a lot, since his loss I don't mind him, hope he gets better and better. Andre Ward gosh he is a horrible dirty guy and a ***** Gervonta Davis because he is getting massively overrated. Miller this plodding guy. I actually can't say I hate them, I just don't like them and it is my personal opinion, which can always be changed if someone proves me wrong. Used to not like Crawford, but he is always showing respect to other fighters and seems like a nice guy. Although people always blame him for his opposition.

They all knew they weren't going to beat Rigondieux so they all avoided him to make the easy money.. On a list of all 4 named, Rigondieux has the lowest career earnings.. Told you it's a business
You really aren’t doing much of anything to persuade me to remove Frampton. Rigo has received some deceptively big purses so I’m not really sure how their career earnings compare. I’m not gonna support the guy who perpetuated what probably was the biggest duck in the history of 122. “He wouldn’t have beat him” is no excuse.
I don't know if I could call someone a coward for fighting Quigg and Santa Cruz. Each to their own I guess.
I know what you wrote, not fighting Rigondeaux to opt for Quigg and Santa Cruz is not a cowardly move as much as it is a shrewd maneuver that ultimately earned him way more money. Think about it, Rigondeaux spoils and beats most of his opponents, generally causing a decline in their standing afterwards since he usually outboxed them totally.
I don't support ducking, I just don't think he took necessarily much worse options on and proved himself a top tier fighter anyhow. He's never been p4p level and he's well aware of that so I guess he always knew he'd lose to Rigo and derail his momentum. Rigo is well avoided, I though this would be clear by now. He's above and beyond most boxers and it's now up to him to prove himself at 122 again. I think he's Vargas' mandatory so we could have another hypejob exposed soon enough.
