i see there are many fans on here who just don't like some fighters. that's fine, i watched hector camacho and pernell whitaker always cheering for the other guy. but i respected the skills they had. i lost respect for james"the harlem hammer" butler when he hit an opponent after a fight, with no glove on, just wraps, as the guy who just beat him was trying to give him a "good fight" hug. so when you answer, don't confuse "don't like" with "don't respect". and please, tell me why.
Until recently I had a lot of time and respect for David Haye. Unfortunately he's continuing to run his mouth off, without backing up his words. I wish he would just get in the ring and let his fists do the talking. For that reason, he's lost my respect.
Haye often doesn't know how to act but people also jump all over his quotes and report a lot of what he says out of context or with increased emphasis. To be fair, the t-shirt stunt was straight from the gutter though.
Curtis Stevens. When his boy Cordington got knocked out you see him in the back really scared for his friend. then like a fight later he knocks a guy out cold and starts celebrating. what a dick.
The way Kelly Pavlik acted after the Hopkins fight was very unprofessional and childish. But I wouldn't say I lost complete respect for him. He needs to go back to the destroyer he once was. Antonio Margarito.
Kelly Pavlik - since after his loss to Hops David Haye - all talk, no balls (at HW) Margarito - all plaster
I feel that, but just run a copy of Mosley - Forrest. No 37 year old looking for one last run at glory should have to do that over again.
1. Mosley, Drug use and refusal to fight Williams 2. Margarito - I had just started giving him respect for him winning the Cotto fight and had picked him to win against Mosley.. then comes out he's a complete cheat. 3. Few guys on the bubble for the 3rd spot.
you know what i found really weird his reaction to the fighting PBF question after the 2nd Vargas fight. How he started fiddling around then looked back and spoke of his tooth. I got all the respect in the world for him but that was just weird to me.
I have lost a lot of respect for Kelly Pavlik ever since the beatdown he got from Hopkins. Also, I lost all respect for Cintron for pulling a draw off after he got KO'ed. I keep losing respect for Floyd for cherry picking. Margarito for cheating.
