    At first I did not like Holyfield, but later I became a fan of his. I was a huge fan of Tyson for a long time and well as Lewis.

    Pretty Boy Floyd, I hated his ass before he took on DLH. That all changed after that fight.

    DLH. I hated his ass back in the late '90s. I think I softened up to him in the last couple of years. I kinda lost respect for him as a fighter after the Pac fight though. I mean, it's one thing getting your ass handed to you, it's another thing not even attempting to throw a punch.

    Honestly, there's not many fighters, if at all, that I dislike out there. Not currently at least. I do dislike some of the Pac Nuthuggers though. They're seriously some of the most ******ed fans.

    Just remembered, Floyd as well, he is normally very respectful towards his opponents after fights.

    I used to REALLY hate Lennox Lewis because he would get ATG talk even though he:

    1. KO'd by Oliver McCall (who cares about the rematch, you were KTFO by Oliver "freaking" McCall and he beat the "crackhead" version:yep:lol:)
    3. beat "faded" versions of Tyson and Holyfield
    4. NEVER fought Riddick Bowe
    5. KO'd by Hasim Rahman (who cares about the rematch, you were KTFO by Hasim "freaking" Rahman:deal)

    I HATE opportunistic fighters who "manipulate" names on their resume to make it look better than they really are (Holyfield, Tyson)..........

    BUT his skill level was great and he was a good fighter, and now he's actually missed in this heavyweight era:tired
