What Fighter you thought was AWFUL the first time you saw him, But you eventually...

Yep me too.

I like him a lot now, though I still think he is very flawed. Ill be going for Kessler in that one and for Ward to take out the whole thing.

 

I tought Pascal was just about to get put into coma against any average bum.

He looks pretty solid right now.
I would not say it too loud but...i'm in now.

Edit: I would say Froch too.

 

Jermaine Taylor didn't think much of him even after he beat Hopkins twice, but his run as MW champ was decent with the limited comp and watchin him go to war with Pavlik was what made me like him foreal foreal even if it ended the way it did.

 

Arthur Abraham. Very efficient fighter who makes his high guard work for him, discombobulating power. Nice guy too. I like him.

Julio Cesar Chavez. Dismissed him as a one-dimensional slugger, but I couldn't have been anymore wrong. One of the most impressive fighters I've seen on film, period.

Erik Morales. Used to think he was lacking in technical ability, but when you watch him fight Chi with one eye, give Ayala and Hernandez thorough spankings, it's clear that Erik was super talented.

Manny Pacquiao. Couldn't fathom how this wild swinging, crude-looking mustache could be whipping on Barrera. The rest is history.

Floyd Patterson. Never impressed with what footage I seen early on, but watching the man in his prime he had unbelievable hand speed, lights out power, and he put together his punches beautifully, and that coupled with his expert head-movement made him a force to be reckoned with. Great, great fighter.

 

Pac.

I was watching the first 4 rounds of his bout against Sasakul and I lost interest because Sasakul was beating the crap out of him and I left.

The next day I found out he won by KO and the rest was history!

 

Me too on Paschal...I remember he and Miranda had a double heder on FNF...he sucked and barley won against a bum and Miranda had just murked dude from the Contender. He hasn't really grown on me but he's much better than I thought he was.

 

Froch for me as well lol

 

probably abraham, i couldn't fathom someone with a low punch output being devastating, his efficiency was deceiving. and his power... wow.
