We we've recently enjoyed Rocky Marciano, and we are currently on Joe Louis. I have a schedule written up for the next months for which heavyweights can be hated on non stop Jack Dempsey Max Baer Rocky Marciano Joe Louis (Current) Joe Frazier Jack Johnson Jack Sharkey Mike Tyson Gene Tunney Leon Spinks James J Jeffries Sonny Liston Harry Wills Larry Holmes Jersey Joe Walcott Michael Spinks James J Corbett Floyd Patterson Bob Fitzsimmons Max Schmeling Muhammad Ali Ezzard Charles Tommy Burns James J Braddock George Foreman John L Sullivan Floyd Patterson James J Jeffries Jersey Joe Walcott James J Braddock Jersey Joe Walcott Muhammad Ali Sonny Liston Max Schmeling James J Jeffries Max Schmeling Tommy Burns James J Corbett Gene Tunney Mike Tyson Joe Louis Leon Spinks Rocky Marciano Floyd Patterson Sonny Liston Jack Sharkey Max Baer Tommy Burns George Foreman Ezzard Charles Joe Louis Rocky Marciano Leon Spinks Jersey Joe Walcott Jack Johnson Joe Louis James J Jeffries James J Corbett Tommy Burns Michael Spinks Leon Spinks Muhammad Ali Ezzard Charles Rocky Marciano James J Jeffries Floyd Patterson Michael Spinks Mike Tyson Ezzard Charles Floyd Patterson George Foreman Joe Louis Muhammad Ali Ezzard Charles Tommy Burns Leon Spinks Sonny Liston Mike Tyson Jack Johnson Sonny Liston Harry Wills Tommy Burns Ezzard Charles James J Braddock John L Sullivan Joe Frazier Jack Johnson James J Braddock Larry Holmes Larry Holmes Jack Dempsey Michael Spinks Joe Frazier Joe Louis Tommy Burns Jack Dempsey Rocky Marciano Sonny Liston Jack Sharkey Jack Dempsey Rocky Marciano Bob Fitzsimmons Max Baer Jersey Joe Walcott Joe Frazier Harry Wills Joe Frazier Muhammad Ali Mike Tyson Jack Johnson Tommy Burns Jack Johnson Leon Spinks Sonny Liston Floyd Patterson Jersey Joe Walcott Ezzard Charles Joe Frazier Larry Holmes James J Jeffries Joe Louis Jack Sharkey Tommy Burns Jack Dempsey Seriously, this is dumb.
Joe Frazier was a shuffling blind one dimensional fighter. His best ability was to keep getting up. Why would you even put him on this list with other greats? Who has Jack Johnson?
Jack Sharkey best ability was to pollute everyone's record with his name. The reason people think he is good is because he shows up on everyone's win record. His best punch was below the belt. Now who gets Tyson?
Surprised Sailor Tom Sharkey has not been ripped into and dissected yet by the vultures. He's like a worse Marciano, surely!
So far we have gotten to Mike Tyson already. We just have to have somebody flame him, then we will be on to Tunney. We can save Dempsey for you! OP did say Hate of the Month.... Well, That would be May. I wonder if we can get to the end of the list in time and before June 1.
Mike Tyson fulfilled all the initial early expectations that people had for him as a raw mean looking youngster entering a gym for the first time ..... .... when he was sent to prison!
Gene Tunney was given all he could handle against a blown up Middleweight in Greb , Should have lost to the badly shot Dempsey but got the long count gift. He was stiff as wood and suffered greatly from suckitas. He would not win the Golden Gloves in the Amateurs today. Next up Is Leon Spinks
Does Leon Spinks really need a bias hate comment? His career was objective ****, outside of a win against a 38 y/o Parkinson's suffering Ali.
Yeah, well Ezzard Charles was a... a... Smooth boxing, jazz loving tough mother****er. How can ya hate the guy?
Just wait till you see this quote about Jack Sharkey written by a news reporter from the 30's. It'll shatter the false idol once and for all.
