Fighters you dislike

:rofl

 

duran-because of his personality and the fact that i dont think he was as great as most others do

douglas-for messing up my favorite fighters career haha

pazienza-for the same reason i hate vic darchiniyan

battling nelson-for being dirty and because i am a joe gans fan

 

Toney in 94, Ruiz in 2003.


For the better part of a decade. A hell of a lot of fights he could have made in that span. But chose not to.

 

Most, if not all, of those tomato cans were top 10 contenders by The Ring's ratings (as part of the HBO contract).

Roy seems to generally be of "love him or hate him" mold, but I was generally indifferent about him.

Fighters I dislike:

Vitali Klitschko: I can't stand his ugly style of fighting. He makes Carlos Monzon look like graceful, aesthically pleasing fighter. His annoying fanatics make it worse by criminally overrating him.

Evander Holyfield: I respect his work ethic and competitive spirit. I don't like his excessive excuse-making, hyprocrisy, claiming that he never used steroids and then saying "but I heard Mike Tyson used them".

Antonio Tarver: whining fighter who blew his opportunity against Roy Jones but was able to cry his way to a rematch, after one of the most uncontroversial "controversial" decisions ever. I now dislike him less though, because he was a key part of my 2nd favorite Rocky flick.

Marvin Hagler: interestingly, I am usually defending him from the newbies and casual fans who act like he was a brawler when in actuality he was a very skilled, versatile, boxer-puncher. It doesn't mean I like him though, I'm just objective and I dislike ignorance more than I do Hagler. His bitterness and whining is annoying, especially for such a "bad man and tough guy" who changed his name legally to feel more loved.

James Butler, Luis Resto, Tony Ayala Jr., and Panama Lewis should all be shot.

 

Most of the fights that failed to materialize were at 168. Besides Michalczeswki (I blame both of them and it takes from both of their standings that they never fought), Roy pretty much cleaned out the contenders and title holders @ 175.

 

I'm a hateful old ****, so I have lots!


Vinny Pazienza - The only reason anyone knows him is for his mouth and the fact he's Italian. THE MAN COULD NOT FIGHT!

Mike Tyson - Nothing like the blending of a violent street thug and a lotta money. There's a nice mixture for ya. :roll:

Sugar Ray Robinson- From every account I've read or heard, an abusive husband and father, and a head so big it's a wonder he could enter any room for the size of the doorway.

Riddick Bowe - You are who you associate with; at least that's the saying.



There's probably more. I excluded active fighters as well.

 

True, I'd blame both of them. But Roy himself could have made a a few other fights materialize, but seemd he rather talk them up but then take the path of least resistance. no this isn't a "Teh Roy is teh overratted bum wit teh glazzjaw!@!!?$!" hate.

It's a "watching a guy that showed the potential to be one of the greatest fighters put his talents to waste" dislike.

 

i did too because there would be a ton more...

 

ik you said historical fighters but everyone changed that so

tarver - he beat my fav fighter haha

fritzie zivic - didnt like his dirtiness like blinding you with his thumb

duran - overrated by most although he was a great fighter and i didnt like his personality



im sure theres many more but i stated the obvious ones

 

If you replace "Robinson" with "Leonard", this also probably applies.

 

...............Yeah that's true, but if I said that I'd be getting X-mas cards and **** from Rooster, and that would just feel weird.

 

Probably naked Hector Camacho pictures that he stamps with his buttcheeks, then signs "From Macho, kind regards".

 

.........One more holiday shot to hell. Thanks! :good

 

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. - Great talent/future HOFer, just dislike his personality (in other words, I would love to see him KO'd)

 

oh and i dont like vicious boxer just bc he is so good and i never wanna meet him in the ring he might unleash 21 power shots in a row on me
