Fighters you just never took a fancy to...

post-1988 he wasn't that superb :hey.

 

Oscar De La Hoya. Not sure why, I just have never really liked him.

Roberto Duran. No reason really, for some reason I just don't like him.

 

Michael Nunn, boring as can be...the heavyweights of the 80's slow, lazy and boring....John Ruiz

 

Holmes doesn't make it Bummy?

 

Julio Ceasar Chavez. One of the first boxing matches I watched as more than just a sports fan but as a boxing fan was Chavez/Taylor 1. I felt and still fell that from that point on he was over protectd by Don King. losing or at least getting a gift draw aganist any worthy chalange. As I have studied the sport more I have learned that he was one of the best ever at 130 and pretty good at 135.
Another is Juaian Jackson. I don't have a good reason for not liking him. I just didn't. Exciting boxer with one punch power. I like him more now but when he was acative I always rooted for the other guy.

 

Any boxer that does not look to take on the best comp' avaliable (in their prime). If they fight the best and lose so be it

Leonard: waiting on Hagler to be a shell of the boxer he was.

Floyd: @ WW.

Calzage:

RRJ: after Hopkins and Toney.

ETC...

 

No, I acually liked his style and attitude, just wished he would have given me the satisfaction of fighting the best of his day...I did not want to wait for Tyson to put him on his ass....but I wanted a Norton,Weaver, rematches and for a spell was curious to see how he did with Tate, Thomas,Dokes,Page,Coetzee...I really did not expect Shavers and Snipes to put him on his rump...Snipes got dropped 2 times vs Coetzee and Snipes still got the shot.....

 

atsch And those are my 2 favorites. I would have to say pernell hes always had that pissy little arrogant smirk that i dont like and hes just a jerk as a human being. Although hes the best defensive fighter ive Ever seen and probably a top 10 atg.

 

Henry Armstrong. I know he was the man in his time but I can't relate to the fighters from the 30s the dark ages. 1940s were alot better. So were the 20s and before.

Modern day I'd say Starling, Bumphus, and most of today's fighters, especially. Just the mention of them bores me

 

Carlos Monzon

 

Leonard - the man was a politician with an alarming lack of embarrassment in spite of all his prodigious skill.

I like Pacquiao, but it would amuse me slightly to see him beaten by Cotto at this stage, if only for the effect it would produce on everyone currently ranking him alongside Armstrong.

 

Hopkins, Chavez, Toney, Dokes, Moorer, Oscar ...

 

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is another one. It's not necessarily because he's arrogant. Hell ! My all-time favourite is Muhammad Ali,and I'm also fond of Roberto Duran. It's just that Mayweather seems aloof.

 

Probably because he doesnt back up his claims or financial drawing power with anything spectacular. He's almost like a rap star. Just him talking about having jewels, cars, and mansions excites people more than his actual ability in the ring. I dont get him either. Hes technically a gifted fighter and leagues above his competition, yet he chooses to coast through fights, safety first, even against the lowest of threats.

 

You weak *****
