    You ask for reasons then give none yourself

    Anyway,i used to like Sam Eggington for his nature to just brawl ,ironically that's why i've gone off him as he has absolutely no regard for his long term health and i think is one tough fight away from being punch drunk

    From the active ones, Saul Alvarez.
    Used to root for him up until 2013 or thereabout... now it's the exact opposite, once I found out what he's really made of.

    Mikey Garcia.
    Dillian Whyte.

    That's about all I can think of.

    I could not in all honesty still support any fighter that has been caught red handed CHEATING!! in any way whether it be using Ped's, having unfair advantages from the Commission & ring officials to ensure they never lose & escape punishment. Any cheating proven & I'm done

    Well recently Joshua. Have always been a big Fury fan and therefore Joshua was always secondary to me. But, I always like to see the Brits do well at all weights, no matter even if I'm not a big fan of their personality/character. As such I give them all a pass if I see a few interviews where I'm thinking "He's annoying" or an a**hole or whatever. I've had quite a lot moments like that with Joshua, even some of his racist inclinations of the past I have let slide. But I think the end was his choice of words at a BLM protest. I don't think he is overtly racist but, he could have worded it so much better if he even took a moment to think. He says some really dumb stuff sometimes and I guess it was just a final straw.

    From here on I couldn't really care if he wins or loses, any fight.

    I was a big fan of Fury since way before he fought Wlad.

    Still think he’s a likeable guy but am not as much a fan as I was if he fought Whyte like he said he would before he got the WBC then I’d respect him more. If that fight happened now not sure who I’d be rooting for.

    Wilder and Mike Tyson, back when I was a casual I thought Tyson was the GOAT and wilder was the best heavyweight because of his knockouts. Lol but that was years ago and I cannot stand hearing that bullsh*t from other people

    Same here.
    Also, Amir Khan is another one for me. .
    Claressa Shields, I was quite a fan when she first turned pro. Turns out that she is a massive ****.
    I also supported Wilder for a while.
    Same with Eubank Jr.

    Tevin Farmer also turned out to be a massive ****.

    I liked Luis Nery until all of his copious debacles.

    Wilder, post Fury loss has been more of an embarrassment than usual.

    I still like Andy Ruiz, but the shape he turned up in adn the lack of drive in the rematch frustrated the hell out of me.

    Callum Smith has shown his limitations non stop, and after the Ryder robbery (granted, I'm a long time Gorilla fanboy) I completely soured on him.

    Big fan of Zepeda, but he's very frustrating. I haven't stopped being a fan, but he's clearly limited.
