    Cause they're overrated or cause they won't fight someone else. (Calzaghe vs. Hopkins 2)

    **** i ALWAYS leave out a goddamn answer (ducking)...


    im just tired of all these calzaghe fans acting all suprised nobody likes calzaghe.. nobody would have a problem with calzaghe if all his fans didnt run around sucking his dick talkinga bout he's a goat

    nobody would have problems if he never claimed he was the greatest ever and talked all that wreckless ****... if he did that he probably would have very few haters

    its simple mathmatics... im getting tired of people acting surprised

    Personalities. What's the point of rooting a guy who doesn't seem like a decent human being? And if I can't connect to that fighter on a personal level than I won't root for them. Let your gloves do the talking instead of your mouth. There is a difference between being confident, and being complete narcissist, which some fighters tend to be. That's why I respect guys like Cotto or Wlad.

    that doesnt bother me so much because in life your not going to like every person you meet.... you just got to respect them for what they do...
    whether their a good boxer or not...

    that doesnt bother me either because in boxing unlike other sports.... timing and a bunch of other political bull**** prevents fights from happening

    example : paul vs marg 2

    when fighters beat the paper champions and then call themselves p4p the best. that really is some fake ass ****. that's why i respect guys like jmm and b-hop cuz they go straight for the throat and beat the main man of whatever division they go for. they don't waste time jacking the other paper champions little weeners to make they're stock go up. and they're not afraid to take risks and lose. those are real fighters, not chicken**** ballerinas making excuses taking care of their records while losing fans respect.

    During the times when there’s no internet fans tends to root fighters on nationality, ethnicity, personality and class among fans happens only at the parking spaces of the arena.
    Now, fans are interacting through the internet and fans say silly things about their fave’s as well as against the opponents. This tends to create animosity towards a certain boxer by the opposing fans. So in reality, it is the fans that makes others fans hate/dislike their boxer/idol on a 50 %percent or more basis…

    Personality. Either its for show or not, but if he opted to do something unclassy, then it becomes hard to continue liking him.

    Barrera - when things arent going his way he will low blow & hit on the break, sometimes in a deliberate attempt to even try get DQd if he is really getting beat like in the 1st Pac fight.... but yet he is all smiles & loves to play the good guy for the cameras.
    He also hit Kennedy McKinney & Morales at press confrences & even went as far as to RUN from Morales after doing it, these are the actions of a little worm IMO.

    His corner arent much better, they jumped in the ring to get MAB DQd vs Junior Jones rather than accept a KO/TKO but thankfully 99.9% of fans class that as a KO loss.... they tried the same thing in the 1st Pacquiao fight but the ref beat them to it & waved it off.

    Great fighter... but a right ***** of a guy.
