    p4p he's better than squatdog, but head to head it is too difficult to choose one.

    Yes, but there is a chance he will taint his legacy badly and it will render his ATG ranking questionable, especially since many of his biggest wins have crapped out shortly after, not that it has much to do with when they fought, but people can percieve it that way.

    I personally rank him an ATG, but he's become a comfort zone **** and will taint himself to where others may forever question it. His resume has immense holes and there is no excuse for it, as he's a massive name in boxing, a P4P #1 American(which means he can get any fight he wants and it will generate big money) and the fact that he's got the HBO machine backing him.

    For Floyd not to fight the best, and damn near everyone wants to fight him at 147, several of whom could beat him, is a nasty mark on his record.

    He lost to Castillo in their first to me as well.

    1. Tyson. That's one evil man.

    2. Hopkins. Mind-numbing bore, awful to watch. Hit and hold specialist, yet came in with Executioner garb. In short, an embarrassment.

    3. Hamed. A pure gobshite of the highest order. A bloke who's bound to beat his missus every night.


    Funny enough, all have done time. But I can forgive Hopkins because he's generally turned his life around and is a true success story- but his fights...:dead

    Hmmmm...let's see

    I dislike Ray Mercer now, because he's embarrasing himself and picking up purses for doing nothing. Also tried to bribe Jesse Ferguson many years ago.

    Naseem Hamed - A supremely arrogant piece of trash who sometimes belittled outclassed opponents. His "who gives a **** what the crowd thinks" line on national television sealed his fate in my eyes.

    Hector Camacho - Calling himself "Macho Man" and running like his backside was on fire in his post-Rosario fights.

    Muhammad Ali - Ali as he is now is fine, but in his prime he was a militant racist loudmouth. Only fellow militant racists could have possibly liked him then. He also showed a cruel side to his nature.

    Naseem Hamed, a jug eared piece of **** without a single redeeming feature

    Tony Zale not because of his attitude or anything like that just the fact he ducked so many contenders. The likes of La Motta, Burley, Williams, Marshall, Moore, Booker, Lytell, Chase and Cocoa Kid. The title being frozen was also to blame but the fact is he never fought any of them and yet his legacy does not seem to be effected while theirs is.

    Look at all this top 100 or 50 p4p almost none of them include the like of Holman Williams, Lloyd Marshall or Eddie Booker most people haven't even heard of them. And I believe that most of the fighters I mentioned would have beaten Zale. I guess the main reason I dislike him is he ducked so many challengers many of whom ended up poor because no matter how many wins they got they never got a chance at the belt which would have guaranteed them a payday they deserved. Also out of all the names mentioned I believe only Burley, LaMotta and Moore are in the Hall of Fame.

    Riddick Bowe. His manager, forgot his name, was a punk too. They were brutal fights but i can't say i felt sorry for Bowe when Golota beat the **** out of him twice and returned his usual favor of fouling.

    John Ruiz-for losing to Roy Jones and James Toney
    Roy Jones-not fighting everyone, despite his talent
    Floyd Mayweather Jr-ego
    Howard Davis Jr-I don't truly dislike, but doesn't seem to want to own up to certain things that happened in his career.

    I couldn't say I hate any fighter personally.

    I also can not understand how you can say a man like Ali was racist. I mean, that is just mind boggling to me. When taking the time period's circumstances into account, it's extremely ironic to call him racist. Do the ones who call him that understand the period of time Ali was from when these remarks of his came out? Do you realize that the I Have a Dream speech by Martin Luther King Jr. was given just a year before Ali won the heavyweight championship? Of course you know what life was like, but it is apparent you don't understand the effects of it.

    Teddy Atlas:

    Well, he's more known as a trainer. Overrated trainer who embarasses his fighters and tries to bring attention to himself with his antics. His shining moment on how he "willed" Moorer to victory is a myth, or at the very least, an exaggeration. Repetitive commentator who is also a hypocrite. Yes Teddy, it's terrible when there's a grotesque mismatch in the two fighters. Remind us again who you matched Muriqi up with when you worked with him?!

    Jack Johnson.

    God damn I hate Jack Johnson.

    Not really sure why, but I always have and always will.
