    As a Professional Hater, I would say he's already in the Top 10 of All time...and is the most hated, active boxer on Earth today...

    This title easily belongs to Jack Johnson. It's not even close.

    I would agree.

    How many times did that guy have to escape a lynch mob? Plus the harassment...death threats....

    If you haven't read and/or seen Unforgivable Blackness, do so.

    hated for obvious reason, some on here have said it is because he is young, black, goodlooking and walthy but i just think he is a bad role model,

    Not quite...

    As BigReg said, Jack Johnson is right up there. Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali, in the 1960s, was very hated across America.

    New to the sport, much?

    His hatred doesn't exceed that of the previous p4p no. 1 (if we're going by Roy Jones, technically it was Hopkins, who wasn't as hated).

    The hatred for the LAST good/great heavyweight, Lennox Lewis, was just as bad, too.

    Once Floyd retires and after a few years of his little ***** ass not being in front of the cameras, people will start to appreciate his career more. Happens EVERY TIME

    And yet people still fall for it.

    Jack Johnson by a mile. This man could have been literally murdered by the crowd and nothing would have came of it.

    Well, if more casual fans knew who Judah was, he'd take the currently-most-hated title IMO. I must say however, as a Judah hater, I gained a little more respect for him in his loss to Cotto.

    Muhammad Ali was pretty hated for a while there. First he was considered a big loud mouth that needed shutting-up, then he was considered "anti-american". It really wasn't until his gutty performances after his exile that more people started liking him. I love Ali, btw.

    Jack Johnson of course is number 1. I can't believe he didn't end up assasinated.

    At the ‘Grand Arrival’ in the lobby of the MGM Grand hotel, Hatton was cheered to the rafters while Mayweather was greeted with a chorus of boos in the city he calls his home.

    Hatton said: “If I got a reception like that in Manchester, I’d hang my head in shame.”

    Floyds not from Las Vegas. He's from Grand Rapids.

    It says the city he "calls his home". Not what is his home.
