    Audley Harrison- The greatest talker of all time, and had some talent, but really hated getting hit. Collapsed like a deck chair when it was put on him.

    Chris Eubank Jr- Is so arrogant that he thinks he is so talented that he is the only boxer ever who doesnt need a trainer and cannot be taught anything. Will never improve because he wll never listen to anyone.

    Hughie Fury- Thought he could run and steal a mans belt. Is a thief and a fraud. No interest in seeing him fight ever again.

    Chris Arreola...complete lack of discipline. Probably could’ve made 190, if he took the sport seriously and didn’t insist on an overly familiar relationship with his “trainer.”

    Leo Santa Snooze...avoided Rigo like the plague. Complete disregard of fair play with Frampton. Frampton came to the States, won a close decision and honorably granted Leo an immediate rematch. Leo begged for the rematch, refused to cross the pond to fight in Frampton’s home turf, won a close decision, and then acts like he doesn’t have unfinished business with Frampton.

    Re Ward after the super six I thought if this guy was British he’d have loads of love but truth is there’s a reason the US never got behind him,his old fashioned way of shutting down fights before they even began makes him boring to watch and who knows they may be more to it re his personality?

    Mikey Garcia is one that’s starting to bug me and that shrivelled piece of **** Ellie Sechbac has had a lot to do with it,sticking a camera in his face and him calling everyone out every day it seems like has gotten boring.

    I couldn't think of anyone until you said Hughie. I bought into the hype that Hughie was the better brother and I thought he would be a strong beltholder sometime in the future. Now that I'm all grown up I realize that Tyson is 2 levels above Hughie at the minimum.

    Thurman

    I still think he has the boxing ability to beat everyone at 147, he’s a very good boxer

    He just wants to play this stupid waiting game and isn’t tryna get in with any of the big names

    Here you are in another thread claiming your "something" else again?????

    When the last thread you kept doing that was deleted because of your on going "something" else claims. Smh.

    Take it to the lounge for that stuff MVC. The only reason you keep typing "something" else is because you know if you type what YOU really want to express it will violate this forums rules you sneak.

    Please stop bi-passing this forum rule by still talking about it just calling it "something else".

    As i said, take all those accusations to the lounge or to Mods/admin if its a issue. Keep it out of the forum you trickster.

    I liked Deontay Wilder back in like 2011, 'cause I heard he went into boxing to make money for his sick kid. But then he started making money and became such a dick hole, beating up fans, prostitutes, brawling with other boxers in casinos, and ducking anyone with a pulse.

    I also liked Andre Ward around that time too, but then came the fighting with his promoter and all the diva bull****.

    I liked Paulie Malignaggi the first time I saw him. He showed a lot of heart in a fight he lost. I believe it was against Miguel Cotto. Then he just talked so much **** about other boxers that I started to hate him.

    I started out admiring the skill of Rigondeaux after he beat a favorite of mine Nonito Donaire. I thought he wasn't getting the exposure that his skills deserved and everyone was ducking him. But then I found out that he wouldn't work with his promoters and a lot of his troubles were self-inflicted. And then I saw him KO an opponent with a sucker punch and I lost all respect for him.

    I'll admit I was a fan of GGG, definitely hyped him with my friends. Went out yo watch him in his "L.A. coming out fight" against Rubio, good night for L.A. boxing as we witnessed the crowd favorite Nonito Donaire get KTFO by Walters.

    After that fight he somewhat disappointed because he continued fighting the same limited type of opponents.

    The worst part about GGG are his loud ass fans who most show very little boxing knowledge and disrespect towards othet fighters.

    Groves: really liked him on the way up, vs Degale etc. But his fights with Froch bought out the worst set of British "fans" ive ever seen and the hatred and disrespect to a guy like froch who was a RARE genuine top tier british world champion was disgusting. I enjoyed seeing him KO'd in particularly memorable fashion.

    Wilder: enjoyed watching him early doirs but then he kept fighting bum... after bum.... after bum... and enbarked on one of the most obviously protected roads to a title ever and now just tarks utter rubbish ad nauseum

    Kovalev: too many excuses for not getting the job done on 2 occasions vs ward

    Canelo: do i even have to explain?

    Well, how many fighters can you name that came to US from non-English speaking countries and speak as fluently as Wlad does? To say nothing of if you try to compare him with any other Ukrainian or Russian boxer. I agree that most his interviews are boring and disappointing- not all of them, though, but I get your point. It's just that it surprises me as the point where you start disliking a person.
