Fighters that you admire but dislike

Tony Ayala. Monster both in and out of the ring.

 

Admire Ali's skill but have total distain for his whole racist and fake facade that has fooled so many none boxing fans. Couldn't stand the man.

 

Good call.

 

White people, yeah.

 

Can't admire Tony Ayala.
I used to dislike but now just glad he's dead.

 

Whitey, mostly.

 

Germans obviously.

 

Carlos Monzon was an utterly evil person, probably.

He was a great fighter definitely.

 

What about French people and scousers?

 

To varying degrees...

Monzon
Leonard
Ali
Bazooka Limon for him taking the **** out of Johnny Owen dying.
Wilfredo Gomez
Ward
Froch
Chavez Sr later in his career
Battling Nelson was a great call by Janitor.
Robinson

 

I can bring myself to dislike them but could never admire them.

I suppose Conteh was a half-decent scouse fighter.
But his decent half was his black half, it's worth noting.
His white half was a bum, if I'm honest.

 

Chris Eubank, I used to tolerate and defend when he was boxing.
His recent reemergence into boxing as handler of his son has underlined what a totally nob he is.

He was a very good boxer on his best nights though.
Far from the ATG he believes he was, but very good on his best night.

 

Definitely.

 

James Toney. Very skilled technical boxer but a right ****.
