    I don't really dislike a single fighter up there but i dislike a lot of things about their fans so i'll say what i don't like about their fans in general.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr - Lots of idiots who watch a few rap videos and see Floyd on a hiphop website jumping into boxing forums and talking horseshot, usually with cliched gangster vocab.
    Manny Pacquiao - Fans whose only interest in boxing is Manny, and as a result come off as being at the least partially ******ed.
    Shane Mosley - Doesn't have enough fan support to be annoying.
    Miguel Cotto - Some of his fans are annoyingly ignorant of blatant flaws in his game (ignorance of his major defensive liabilities because he does a shoulder roll or two each fight).
    Paul Williams - Doesn't have the fan support he deserves so its hard to dislike his fans, though WWM can be a little overzealous. :yep
    Juan Manuel Marquez - No qualms.
    Chad Dawson - Greatly under appreciated, i hate the fact that he has minimal fan support in the US and is clearly a very handy fighter.
    Bernard Hopkins - Fans are generally likable except for the odd one who presses the anti-Calzaghe agenda too hard.
    Roy Jones Jr - Fans generally are pretty likable.
    Wladamir Klistko - Fans who only follow Wlad and have minimal knowledge of the sport, pains in the arse.
    Vitali Klitscko - Same as above but to a lesser extent as Vitali is truly a certified badass.
    Kelly Pavlik - Fans have a healthy amount of support but the excuses for the Hopkins fight are tiresome and stupid.
    Carl Froch - Good fans other than the odd anti-American tool.
    Andre Berto - Fans overrate him.
    Jermain Taylor - Fans overrate him.
    Mikkel Kessler - Has ****all nuthugger level fans so isn't a big issue.
    Arthur Abraham - Same as above.
    Andre Dirrell - Fans overrate him.

    How can you possibly say you have no problem with floyd, but that shane has a poor attitude and is all talk? I'd tell you to get off the crack before it rots out your brain, but it's clearly too late.

    True. Not anymore anyway, but he was [overrated], and it was really bad. His attitude used to be great, but after his loss, its sour.

    Mayweather: His welterweight resume consists of Judah, Baldomir, Hatton, and JMM. Even though there have been fighters in that weight class like Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Williams, Quintana, Clottey, etc.

    I will give this a try.
    Floyd Mayweather Jr I Don't Dislike him. Figfhting the Pacquaio/Cotto winner will bring in more money but The Mosley/Breto winner will be a better chalange after that he should go to 154-160 where he will in most cases be smaler. there is no one at 147 besides Mosley who is a real threat to him. Williams/Mayweather at 154 could be intresting.
    Manny Pacqiaou I Don't Dislike him. He needes to beat Cottohe should but it might not be an easy task. It seems that he has a lot of distractions but it seems that he always has distractions. If he beats Cotto he should presue a fight with Mayweather. Putting the two best boxers in the world in the same ring is good for boxing.
    Shane Mosley I Don't Dislike him. For Mosley think he needes to be more consitstsnt. When he brings his A game he is as good as anyone and has by far th best chance to upset Mayweather. The probblem I have with Mosley as a boxer is that sometimes he doesn't bring his A game.
    Miguel Cotto I Don't Dislike him, Over Hyped. I like Cotto. I can not think of a reason not to. I just don't think he is as good as he is made out to be. I think he happens to be the highest ratted boxer in the same division that the best boxer in the world fights in.
    Paul Williams I Don't Dislike him. I think he has as good of a chance as anyone to be the next p4p #1. It seems that he is going to settle down at 160. He should beat Pavlik but Pavlik is tough. He should domonate the 160 division for the foreseable future. I think he should try to get back to 154 or 147 and get a fight with Mayweather. If that dose not work out he should look to 168-and higher for the rest of his career.
    (Part 2 latter)

    Floyd Mayweather Jr- plays hard to get at times, good for him but bad for us. He the kind of fighter i wish he had a promoter so you could see more of him.

    Manny Pacqiaou- a warrior but a bit of a puppet pretty much just allows roach to delegate. Top 100 fighter nonetheless.

    Shane Mosley- brilliant career, fearless but a little too inactive in the twilight of his career. When Big George came back for a second stint he seldom took a few months off between fights.

    Miguel Cotto- I wish for god sakes he would learn to defend against the uppercut, other than that a well rounded complete fighter

    Paul Williams- what can i say just wait and see this guy has shown it all I love to watch this guy fight.

    Juan Manuel Marquez-Alot of guts but the **** drinking????

    Chad Dawson- no power and no chin he wont last long

    Bernard Hopkins- arguably in the top five middleweights all time

    Roy Jones Jr- was a fan but now im certain I've seen enough from him, If I never saw him fight again I think I'd be just fine.

    Wladamir Klistko- Doing what he supposed to do with a mediocre heavyweight division

    Vitali Klitscko- Doing what his brother is doing but making it look easier.

    Kelly Pavlik- overrated

    Carl Froch- alot heart in this guy takes a pretty good shot gave away that fight to JT before JT gassed out.

    Andre Berto- his fight with Shane Mosley should be a "passing of the torch". Picture a revisit of JT versus Hopkins in the young lion overtaking the old lion. Not that JT reallt BEAT hopkins but he'll kind of be the thing people talk about after defeating Shane Mosley

    Jermain Taylor- For god sakes somebody go running with this guy, make him spar more rounds. This guy just keeps gassing.

    Mikkel Kessler- inactive fighter, doesnt fight enough at all guess thats the same for most fighters nowadays but it stands out with him

    Arthur Abraham- showed alot of heart against Miranda, but he should've fought Pavlim a long time ago

    Andre Dirrell- Young lion with alt of talent. Im not picking him to win the tournament though, I think Ward or JT might take it.
