    I didn't think anyone hated him.
    He is a talented young HW
    When a fighter loses, once fans suddenly tend to turn and use hindsight

    I am no expert but find the matchmaking very different with UK and USA HW prospects
    Sometimes one way works better for some than others

    After a few rebuilding fights he could possibly be in the top 10 again and build up against some selected contenders before moving on

    Does anyone actually care enough about him to actually hate him?

    He was an American media hype-job. When the Americans don't have the best heavyweight in the world (or any of them), they like to pretend that they've got 'the next big thing'. Like they did with Michael Grant. Turns out, they didn't.

    So why hate the boxer over what the "media" says?

    No one actually hates him. They just like seeing the pompous twats in the American boxing media proven wrong. If he comes back out of the wilderness, posts some decent wins & gets back into title contention, people will respect it.

    Because he was overhyped to the max, and even he was buying into it. He stole Jarrell Miller's nickname. His glass jaw was exposed when he almost lost to Charles Martin, fought like a timid little puppy dog against light punching Cruiserweight Merhy, got ****ed up by Bakole. Got buzzed early against Marios Kollias, and fought like a mental midget the rest of that match. Now he's conveniently ducked out of several risky matches since. What exactly is there to like? Come to think of it, maybe he is the Real Big Baby, he certainly acts like one!

    Walking to the ring dressed like a pimp was cringe AF

    Who at top rank decided to publish that video? it destroyed his career. thats why miller was calling him “ soft as baby crap “ at the la card, even though miller cried after a fight at a later date.
