    Usually you have really good fights between a fighter you dislike and a fighter you are rooting for to win. Are there any fights between 2 fighters you dislike where you admit that they both made an entertaining fight despite not rooting for either of them?

    I usually dont like Adrien Broner and Paulie Malignaggi but their fight was actually pretty damn entertaining to watch.

    Margarito vs Cotto I & II.

    Both great fights. Both not very likable.

    British bums Froch and Groves. Normally I would have wanted both to lose but both their fights were quite entertaining and in the end, if anything I was rooting for Groves. Well not exactly rooting but kinda wanting him to lose less than crook nosed Froch.

    Haye v Chisora - a couple of bellends who I wanted to both get knocked out. It happened, but just not in the same fight.

    I don’t really have any boxers that I dislike. Of those at the highest level I appreciate them all to varying degrees. Outside of the philly fighters I don’t even openly riot or cheer for anyone. A lot of folks on here hate certain fighters...I don’t get it, I am more of a fan of boxing than of particular boxers

    I hear what you say about that. I’m usually a fan of the sport first rather than a raging fan of one particular fighter. I guess the term ‘dislike’ is a little too harsh but I’m very certain there are fighters that you aren’t too particularly fond of.

    Don’t take this thread the wrong way. I don’t have any sort of personal animosity toward any particular fighters and I still respect them when they step in the ring despite their antics in and out of the ring.

    Wilder and Fury, dislike both, enjoyed there fight.
    Maybe Tyson and Ruddock. I'm not a fan of either at that point, but I liked Tyson as a kid with Cus around.

    Most of my least favourite fighters are in that position because I find them boring.

    Not a fan of either JM Marquez or Manny Pac, but they did put on one hell of a quadrilogy.

    Meh. Any opponent of Vinny Pazienza or Bobby Czyz is my favorite fighter for a night anyway.
