He hasn't really done enough as a pro to deserve credit and adulation yet. I agree he has a lot of hater and it seems undeserved. I think some of the hatred is for petty, childish reasons, for example someone mentioned his accent lol. Some people feel compelled to hate anyone who is a rival to a boxer they are a fan of so some fans of Froch and Groves hate him for that reason. Some of the hate is also because he did come across as very ****y and arrogant at times early in his career. Anyway, he seems to have improved his performances and attitude lately so if he keeps that up, I'm sure he will have plenty of success and gain more and more support from the public.
He was far too arrogant early on in his career but his attitude is winning me over now but I don't know what it is but he bores me to watch.
He wasnt a tit for the first few years of his career it was just the groves fight and he genuinly dislikes groves but he still acted distasfully Strikes me a a bit dim though
