    Last month I started appreciating Joe Cal..for he truly is a great fighter, whether he fought an old RJJ and won by a hair against BHOP, I was impressed by his speed and ring adaptability. I am no clairvoyant, but I think he would have been a tough foe for a prime RJJ and Bhop as well due to his his unique style. But really what got me to appreciate him was how his win against RJJ was downplayed for almost two weeks in these forums..he was just being dogged. The ****in hate didnt make sense anymore, youd think Joe was a scrub.

    Now, Im starting to feel for Naz as well. The mans hatewagon is unbelievable. The guy can beat anyone at any given time. I wouldnt say that he was greater than the big four (hes not) but Im pretty sure that they wont mop the floor with him like insinuated here. The guy was a freak and the hate has gone out of control.

    eric morales... not hate but all the excuses coming from his fans.
    the guy didnt take a break, wanted a rematch right away with pac, stand toe to toe with pac even after a kd. the guy is a warrior. not afraid getting hurt in that ring. much respect.

    I dont hate on any fighter. The fighter I have started to really appreciate is Ricky Hatton. I admire the guy, the way he fights and how we seems to be genuine with his fans. This last video where he said he wants manny and then Floyd in 2009 and then retire? fantastic!

    This is actually a change of heart for me, I used to criticise Hatton pretty hard because he was so protected.

    None.. what a bunch of douchebags say on an internet website has no influence on the fighters I like whatsoever.

    Why he was fighting Roy Jones is the main reason why I started hating his ass in the first place. He tried to sell this fight as his most difficult one which is far from the truth. I'm glad that the event was a total failure.

    Back on topic, Mikkel Kessler comes to mind. I was rooting for JoeCal to shut his cocky ass. Turns out I was rooting for the wrong guy. Specially after he blasted the sport that gave him so much.

    He didnt blast the sport, just the state it's in now. There want much controversy in what he said in truth.
