    Why Cotto?

    The only fighters I don't like are the ones that get a big push before they've earned it - Amir Khan, Ricky Hatton, guys like that. And that usually goes off me if they deliver or really try to.

    Also, rapists.

    Kind of surprised you don't like Hopkins. He kind of seems like your kind if guy. He took on all comers and beat guys multiple ways. In his younger days he was a great inside guy that ground dudes down. In his later years he beat bigger stronger guys with his ring generalship and skill. Are you talking about his personality? I can see is attitude rubbing folks the wrong way but I. the ring he was the real deal. To do what he did with practically no amauter background and no real support system is admirable in my opinion.

    I will go to my death believing he faked an injury because Robert Allen was kicking his ass. Plus I see nothing special. Overrated. And his prison schtick gets old.

    Care to offer a few words on why you hate Johnson?

    I actually have Changs career set and remember his fight reports from the beginning of his career in The Ring way back in the beginning of the 80s. I more disliked his biggest fan than him.
    I love Greb, by 1 contributor got me to dislike him by his revisionist bull****.

    Deontay Wilder (horrible person, crybaby excuse maker, ridiculously overrated and corny and the a fan base that rivals the guy below funnily enough a lot root for both)

    Floyd Mayweather (despicable POS narcissist & the worst fan base I have seen)

    Canelo Alvarez
    Adrien Broner
    Naseem Hamed
    Carl Froch
    Guillermo Rigondeaux (Ridiculous cult like fans at one point and all that talk then to flunk out like he did and say “I had a boo boo on my hand”)

    James Butler
    Tony Ayala JR
    Deontay Wilder
    Andre Ward
    Antonio Margarito
    Orlando Salido

    Alex( a Duva fighter. Ugh).
    Yes. I wrote you and told you. I like it. And the pics are worth it alone. Zarate is an interesting study reading how he thinks.

    He's just a bit of a dickhead. I'm a Langford fan to boot. :p

    But seriously, I do have to say that I dislike almost everything about him. He's a selfish, arrogant, snidy wanker who's fighting style is boring as ****. He fought guys much smaller than him, ducked his best contender, fought old men, smaller men and in the interviews I've read, he comes across as a complete *****.

    He didn't want Louis to become champion out of selfishness.

    You ever heard that sparring story where he wagered he'd never make the first move, and whispered abuse about someone's wife/daughter (iirc?) to make them attack him? That's a perfect example of what a shitty guy he was.

    As you can see, I'm not his biggest fan. I do, however, understand and respect how difficult his situation was. I just don't have to like him for it.

    Didn't realize how much I'd written lol

    He kicked Sams ass in their fight. This " ducked" business is garbage. It was never happening in that America. Johnson was in the line of the greatest of all time and even the great Jack Blackburn, who hated him, said Louis had too many flaws to compete with Jack. Alltime great. Could figure out any style in history and had the stamina toughness power and ability to back it all up. He allowed fights to go the distance because that was where the money was and he was satisfied to win how he wanted.

    Yeah badass ex-con Hopkins somehow got catapulted out of the ring after being tapped on the shoulder by little Mills Lane. I'll never buy that. Pulled the same stunt against Dawson. Then there was Calzaghe where Hopkins spent half the fight writhing on the canvas trying to get Calzaghe DQ'd and the other half stinking out the joint. One the dullest (and dirtiest) fighters of the last 30 years. Not a favourite of mine either.
