    Which fight had fighters who hated each other the most? Not any fake ****, but some proper hatred.


    Im thinking Morales vs Barrera

    Fought before the fight, fought like mad during the fight, and fought after the fight.

    proper hatred of each other i think.

    i dont think they hated each other- and definately not with the intensity that moralles and MAB had

    also ali was just psyching fraizer out, and taking the **** out of him. frazier was just getting upset.

    Basillio v Robinson, a bit one sided with the hate, but basillio really hated ray

    Chavez v Haugen also springs to mind

    Ali probably didn't hate Frazier, but Frazier hated Ali, and still does.

    De La Hoya-Vargas was a recent grudge match which resulted in an excellent fight.

    Ali's team admitted they took the third fight with Frazier because they fought he was shot. They were expecting an easy win. Ali had no reason to pysche Frazier out. I think he genuinely didn't like Frazier, and Frazier hated him because he turned the black race against him. And of course it's still going on today, the fact that Frazier boasts about giving Ali Parkinson's is a testament to the true hatred.

    Basilio still hated Ray many years later.

    I think it was his voice on the Ray documentary "Bright Lights and Dark Shadows" that says "when he died, I'm not gonna lie, I didn't give a ****, he was the most arrogant man alive".

    How do you really feel Carmen?

    Vargas vs Mayorga has to get a mention.

    I agree everytime you see Basilio talk about or is asked a question about SRR you see him transform into a stone cold killer. I am a huge SRR fan but I did enjoy it when Carmen beat Ray. When you hear him talk about how SSR blew him off when Basilio was with his girlfriend. The fire got sparked.

    Not fighters but I'm still posting it as they despise each other:

    Bob Arum Vs Don King
