    Pacman - Should have bowed out of the sport after the Thurman fight.

    Loma - Sore loser

    Inoue - He really couldn't have done anything about it, but should have made a bigger impact at super flyweight.

    Julio Ceasar Martinez - is most likely a drug cheat.

    KingRy - is most likely a drug cheat, and a ***** when it comes to Devin Haney.

    Oscar dela Hoya - um...yeah.

    Jake Paul - He's Jake Paul.

    Riddick Bowe will forever be haunted by ducking Lewis and his relatively indolent attitude towards the sport, because in my opinion, he was the most talented heavyweight to ever walk the earth and that includes Muhammad Ali, Tyson Fury, Wladimir Klitschko, Mike Tyson, etc

    Bowe is overrated on ATG ratings, had a thin resume, subpar defense, and was steered away from big punchers. I will always have more respect and adulation for Lennox Lewis and have Lewis as H2H number 1, but Bowe is still my favorite boxer, even above Holmes, Benton, Leonard, and even dat boy Whitaker, because of his destructive style, and because i can't help wonder, had Bowe been as dedicated to the sport, would he have surpassed Lewis.. because i think he would have, because he got better and better each fight up until he started having trouble with laziness and maintaining weight in the runup to the second Holyfield fight and it only got worse from there

    Teofimo lopez : Seen to be mentally immature. I have no idea what's going on with his mind right now.

    Savanah Marshall: Has sublime boxing ability but damn marketing herself is not her strong point.

    Emmanuel Navarette:Not yet a house hold name.Probably wont.

    Bautsi: That defense is horrendous. Tremendous punching power though.

    Connro Benn. Damn, his accuracy is hilariously bad. But potential is there.

    Mayweather
    The fact that he never lost a fight is bad for the sport. He should have at least lost one.

    Beating your son's mother is not something to be proud of... so I didnt like that either.

    EDIT:

    Not retired favorite fighter

    Canelo:
    C'mon man!!! that beef.... what the **** is that?

    Crawford:
    Dude! you need to fight better oposition. I dont care about whose fault is that, but you need to do it SOON.

    My former favorite active fighter:

    Rigondeaux
    What a wasted career.... running and running and running... too much even for me, and I love that kind of boxing too, but it's just too much.

    Canelo hate the fact he started fighting the likes of Mayweather, Trout and Lara so early and green in his career.

    imho it is something to be proud of. One of the reasons I root for him in his fights. He fights... EVERY-****ING-ONE.

    Saw Rigondeaux fight for free at the Palms hotel. I forget his opponent but it was the bodyshot in the 6th. My friend who worked in the NSAC hooked up the free ticket.

    Rigo is good, he’s just a runner and he’s old now. 40 is a good age to hang it up especially after this last fight. Nightmare matchup for everyone.

    How do you know whether Floyd or Canelo actually know me ? You dont you just think you do. lol I dont hate either of them, I just have no respect for them Big Difference?? I support fighters , guys who have earned success though their own blood, sweat & tears not Divas who rely on who they know & not what they know
    Without Vegas & NSAC help neither Floyd nor Canelo would be where they are today. Though if they'd had the courage to do it the right way they just may have made it on their own, they had the talent but sadly lacked the stones. Thats why they'll never be rated among the ATG's of the sport

    The facts are Canelo did lose to Floyd, Lara & Trout but only Floyd had the Vegas mafia on his side for that one

    Ricky hatton. Followed his career and was red hot coming through but in hindsight....he wasn,t quite capable of challenging the very top level as mayweather and pacman showed. Pretty much highlighted that the lax discipline wasnt quite good enough to take on the guys that we,re ultra professional. Better fighter than the americans got to see but tbf he did fight a lot of guys that we,re a good style match up for him...guys on the slide that couldnt deal with his work rate etc. Good career and good fighter tho. Just not near the elite level. Still say the tyszu win was a great one and showed he was a serious fighter even at tyszu,s advanced age.

    Really? Convince me if you like mate. I've watched all his fights, you may be right about the stamina and conditioning but I don't think his chin is great.

    I wish Fraud Mayweather actually had a pair of balls and had fought Margarito instead of ducking him.

    I wish Canyellow had a spine and would fight legitimate threats and not bums. Doing nothing for his legacy except cementing the fact that he is wasting his prime years fighting B-level fighters from overseas.

    I think this of Hatton, too, although I think Calzaghe was a better fighter overall. To me, Hatton was capable of stepping up in 2002, namely after the Magee fight, which was an acid test of sorts. He could have beaten quite a few names in the top-10 at the time--Hurtado, Tackie (obviously), Urkal, Ward, Harris, Corley, Gatti, Harris, and Witter, who I believe he should have faced. I would have loved to have seen him take on more than just Tszyu at the top level, as well, though I understand that it was unlikely Showtime and HBO would have come together at the time to make Hatton vs. Cotto/Judah/Mayweather.

    Shane Mosley: He really should have tried to become the Lightweight Champion of the World instead of a mere trinket-holder. He gets a significant amount of love for his dominance at 135 but didn't take on his #2 contender. Also, for as good as his chin was, he became too much of a soft-azz later in his career, always touching gloves to apologize or indicate fair play.

    Kostya Tszyu: Pounding a career in a junior/super division usually doesn't hold that much weight for a legacy. He should have chased the big names at 147 and showed us more.

    Vasyl Lomachenko: He wasted too much time in the amateurs and in the pros. He could be a bona fide great by now but is currently a faded entity, fighting against time in a class too big for him.

    Midget Wolgast: Too much of a slacker in training and his attitude. He could have had an immense career at flyweight, but didn't care much for the title.

    Alexander Povetkin: Should have prepared better for Wilder. He might have taken Wilder's '0' long before Fury and spared us a lot of hyperbole, e.g. Wilder's exaggerated defense total.

    Antonio Esparragoza: It's not saying a ton when your most notable win is Steve Cruz. He should have tried to get Fenech or Nelson.

    Gennadiy Golovkin: He has an opportunity to grab the Middleweight Championship by fighting Charlo, a legacy-defining status that eluded him against Alvarez, but is being too inactive and pursuing money fights.
