    Joshua.

    Initially I was very sceptical that he was any good at the top level, had never been tested and had fought a few pasties. I felt he was being hyped way beyond his ability, which is pretty much what the British media sometimes do. I was rooting heavily for Wlad when they fought and was pretty disappointed that AJ won. Then I warmed to him after that fight. The chin and power had been tested and I felt he was the real deal after all, even felt he was a half decent guy.

    The BLM speech he made has put me back on the fence, tbh. I'm a bit blase about him now.

    Amir Khan I was a big fan of his, but he ducked Brook shamefully and his attitude in general started to stink.
    Anthony Joshua I was a huge fan, now I'm so-so with him. Since his black 'superior race' nonsese and you should only be buying from other blacks whilst he benefits from a big fan base of all origins and went to Saudi Arabia to take blood money.
    Deontay Wilder I thought was exciting as **** and fun to watch, every time he opens his mouth I dislike him more and more. He also pushes an us vs them narrative of black vs white. I'm just a boxing fan who wants to see great fights, I don't appreciate some of my favourite fighters trying to race bait. He also makes up an excuse in every singe fight, even ones he wins.
    Keith Thurman I don't dislike but he went from 'you better not duck me son!!' to a feather fisted Malignaggi to ducking Errol Spence.
    Adrien Broner I was excited for his skill set coming up, he was always going to be a Floyd lite but his mouth went from funny to annoyance and he continually failed to back up his words.
    Floyd Mayweather I've gone hot and cold on throughout the years, ultimately, he is such a narcissist I can never really support him as a person as everything must always come back to him. An interviewer asked him about Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr and instead of answering he basically told the interviewer he deserves all the credit, as if he invented exhibition matches, cringe.

    Probably countless more over the years, doesn't take much for me to sour on someone.

    My favourite fighters of all time - Muhammad Ali, Joe Calzaghe, Manny Pacquiao, Roy Jones Jr.
