    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.
     
  2. 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.

    Kermit Cintron. I never want to see him win again after the Martinez travesty.

    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.

    I'd love for anybody to attempt a defense of Billy Dib.

    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.
