    Nah . . . I won't call it "most hated" . . . most antagonized should be the right word.

    The guy is a clown . . . all his declarations are too far from reality . . . people are not blind although his nuthuggers chose and pretend to be :deal

    :yep

    its ridicolous of so called boxing fans to hate on any fighter. I understand that people want the best to fight the best but ive read some comments on this site that is ****ing sick

    I think you may have a faulty memory. Roy Jones was constantly criticized for not fighting Darius, Nunn, McClellan, Eubank, Benn, and for his flirtations with fighting at heavyweight that didnt materialize (Holyfield, for instance).

    Remember the Roy-cott?

    what does that have to do with his standing as a p4p best. if he was not respected then no one would consider him p4p. he got the respect he deserved for what he was doing and the criticism he deserved for what he was not.

    He'll probably try to get Darchinyan to move up for an exciting, evenly matched bout.

    i like this, especially antagonized. floyd has probably the loudest haters and only the 3rd loudest fans on the board. not most, and even those that hate do a lot tongue in cheek, but some are certainly vocal. as are his fans but just to a lesser degree

    Roy Jones was never hated on the Mayweather level. The only haters Jones ever had were bitter DM fans anyways. I would like to nominate Cory Spinks and John Ruiz.

    it comes with the price of being undefeated and making your opponents look like c-level bums, the haters may not know this but the more they criticize and nit pick his career, the more their carrying on his legacy. people like rugged man are making PBF look legendary and not even know it:deal

    If they are so good, why arnt they taking big challenges on. If they are great why arent they taking risky challenges.
