Name a Performance That Caused You to Become a Fan of a Fighter You Didn't Like

I am referring to Bradley, after Provodnikov's fight with Algieri, the opposite might be the case for my opinion of Provo.

 

This is a great thread.

 

I have to agree about Ortiz and Wilder. Ortiz brought himself back from the dead with a war with Berto, who was supposed to walk right thru him. Showed alot of heart and guts. Wilder didn't face the competition Ortiz faced, but he showed he's ready to go 12 rounds and can box well, not just ko weak comp in 4 rounds. Ortiz I have respect for, tho needs to jumpstart his career once again, and Wilder I'm definitely a fan of. He's abit mouthy, but at least now he can back up what he says and he's not being annoying calling himself tbe.

 

Oh yeah, good point. Bradley is another one!! I was bitter after he robbed Pacman of his belt, but seeing his heart and determination in the Provo fight, then his humbleness after his Pacquiao loss, he's now one of my favorites.

 

My dislike for De La Hoya was lessened after he beat the steroids out of Fernando Vargas!

 

Bradley I ****ing hated him when he won vs Alexander(headbutts) and then when he got that robbery vs pac I hated him even more. I was totally convinced that this was just another African American getting gift decision, hyped up to **** and was going to fight bums for the rest of his day. Basically just another Mayweather/Broner clone

But then he took the providnikov fight and on top of that he went fight mode stood his ground and fought a brutal fight. And then rematch vs pac. Huge respect. Ducks no-one and wants to fight the best and is not a ***** like so many others. He is a rare breed in this modern age of pussies and duckers.

Bradley fan for life

 

Ducks no-one but is well known to have avoided a Khan fight twice at light welterweight. I like Bradley the way he beat Marquez was very impressive, but if this was someone else and I think you know who I mean, it would be seen as ducking. Not saying he ducked Khan but I don't like the double standards with fans today

 

He has never ducked khan only problem with bradley is he is very quit and not very good at selling himself. But saying he ducked khan is an outright lie

 

Name a fighter who made you make an ALT over him.

 

sad. its a joke. did it hurt your fragile mind?

 

He did duck Khan but he opted to fight Pacquiao

 

Mayweather started noticing Pacquiao when he fought Barrera, then he became a big fan when he fought Morales.

but Pacquiao started moving up to welterweight so Mayweather became a hater. :rofl

 

Those were the days. Mayweather was asked who's the best fighter after him. His reply "Manny Pacquiao"!
