If Gatti is amongst the most loved, which fighter is the most disliked ever?

Floyd x 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000!!!!!

 

PBF based on lack of warrior spirit, lack of being humble and proclaiming himself as the best ever when he cherry picks to this day. Oh yeah and for never having the balls to reach his true potential

 

I dont think that any fighter has ever been totally the hated the way that Gatti is beloved. Most so-called hated fighters have just as many fans as haters. Fighters like Gatti have haters as well, just not many.

 

I have to wonder how people felt about Battling Siki at the time, who was basically the overseas version of Jack in a number of ways. I've gotta think the general feeling was pretty similar.

 

The fighter i personally hate the most is James Toney. .

Some people find him funny, i find him irritating and delusional

But the most hated fighter of all time is Jack Johnson

 

Eubank and Hamed were 'awful to watch' atsch

Have you not seen Hamed vs. Bungu/Kelley/Robinson/Sanchez?

How about Eubank vs Benn/Thompson 1 & 2?

 

No way When clay and liston faught everyone wanted liston to win badly

 

I have to make an argument for Mike Tyson as the most hated. He may of course also be the most liked.

More people are aware of Mike Tyson's existence, therefore more can hate him. If Tyson is known to twice as many people as any other fighter, and only half of them hate him, then he has more haters than any other boxer has fans.

 

I would counter this by pointing to Glen Johnson - a guy that everybody seems to like. It's the mixture of disrespect and beating Jones (well, I reckon you can expand that to anyone) that gets to his fans - ie, Tarver.

To add my own two cents to the topic - how about James Butler, the ******* who sucker punched someone in the ring after a fight and then murdered Kellerman's brother.

 

Also, if we're talking boxing people and not just fighters, I feel quite comfortable in saying Panama Lewis is the most hated person in the sport's history. Even Jack Johnson had fans when he fought...I can't ever remember anybody saying they remotely liked Lewis.

And if they did, they should probably be peckerslapped into submission.

 

Audley wins this by a landslide in the UK.

 

why dont people like trash-talkers?? i love it!

 

And related to this, Tommy Burns for fighting and losing to Jack Johnson.
