hate is too strong a word, for people i dont know personally, but i dont like these 5 fighters joe calzaghe ricky hatton david haye ahmed elomar peter kazzi
I bet they don't have black friends. How the hell can Hopkins be racist against whites when he has close friends that are white?
OK. As far as the thread is concern I am starting to hate Celestino Caballero more and more for some reason. :think
Honestly people over here hate on him because he waited until all the big names were obviously old before crossing the pond to cash in on them. Personally I like Joe, and think he would always be competitive, but because this surge of confidence has come so late and at such a down time in this division, he will never be able to prove whether or not he was really "great" to many of us. It's all the fans saying he is the best 168 pound fighter ever, would destroy a prime Jones or Hopkins, and that he is already a top ATG that creates the hate.
His two most noted wins were a contreversial over a 42 year old, and a bashing of a 39 year-old shot fighter who would have beat him to sleep in his prime. Coupled with the fact that his fans act like he's "the greatest ever" That's why there's so much hate. But I personally don't hate him. JUst a little aggravated at his fans.
Speaking of hate... I don't hate any of the fighters. BUT Margarito's fans on this board are the ****ing most pathetic. I used to like Margo, and actually rooted like hell for him when he fought Cotto. When I met him before the Paul fight, he was cool as ****. And despite his whining after the fight, and despite Bob Arum, I still think he's a decent guy who deserves to make it. But his fans are SUPREME HATERS.
Damn their prob two of my favourites rite now... Mayweather's antics suck ! but i love watching him fight. For me Hopkins really is a legend what he has been bale to achieve at his age, is simply freakish. But i can see why people dislike both:good
