    This could be a controversial thread.So its probably best if we state our choices and not question others

    During your time watching the sport who is top of the tree in terms of your dislike....and why?

    Name your top 3 in order

    My choices are:

    1) Teddy Atlas
    A bully ... habitual liar ...attention seeking contrarian...his speciality is questioning the courage and character of fighters...he acts as a self proclaimed authority on the subject.of courage...and frequently makes false allusions that there is a doctorate behind his opinions..Teddy in his own mind is boxings ultimate tough guy and man of character...though he was of sufficient weak character himself to quit after a few amateur fights citing a sick note regarding his back...he than got a cushy job under Cus D"Amato handling Tyson....he left before Tyson turned pro and missed out...you sense this bugs him...consequently he has spent almost 4 decades slandering and persecuting Tyson...not an ounce of recognition that Mike is no longer 15 but 53...in the process showing his lack of class..
    Tough guy Atlas was beaten up in a brawl with press guy Ricardo Salazar back in the mid 90s...Atlas has gone to great pains to mention in the early 80s he had a mafioso uncle. Recently Teddy was called "a piece of ****" by former Gambino underboss Sammy "The Bull" Gravano.

    2) Tony Ayala jnr

    3) Davey Hilton jnr

    Atlas also had a fight with Christopher Eubank Sr when Eubank was a 16 year old kid, at Nelson Cuevas' gym in the Bronx. He bit Eubank's ear.

    Hate is a strong word. I never cared for the thug like criminals who just happened to be good at boxing.

    Mike Katz, who had ability as a writer was one guy I just didn't care for either.

    There are a lot of others that are eyeroll worthy, though I don't necessarily hate them.

    Panama Lewis wasn't pop at one point that's for sure. Between Pryor's black bottle and being quite responsible for Billy Collin's eventual death he was well under the hammer.

    Like you said, hate is a strong word. I've seen fighters, announcers, promoters, alphabet bosses, referees, etc. whom I've said that I can't stand. However, I will always say in all the years I've been watching/reading boxing, that one of the most satisfying nights I had watching a bout was the thumping given Adrien Broner by Marcos Maidana. So that may be my answer.

    Don King of course, although he put on tremendous shows. As far as fighters go: Adrien Broner takes the cake. Mayweather was pretty bad at the end there too. As far as fighting ability went, John Ruiz was definitely the quiet man and a cure for insomnia. And his trainer Norman Stone was despicable.

    As mentioned Panama Lewis, he arguably should have stood trial for manslaughter.

    I don't know what is true about Atlas and what is BS.
    Ayala is a piece of ****.
    Hilton has committed just about the most heinous crime possible; paedophilia and against his own kids.
    That should merit the death penalty imo.

    Accusing someone of it ,someone you know absolutely nothing about and without any cause whatsoever is pretty disgusting too,not only disgusting but despicably cowardly I'm sure everyone here agrees with me on that.
    I know my Grandson, pictured next to me in my avatar on the occasion of his first fight does.

    I'm going to change my answer. Whomever clears a fighter that's physically or mentally unfit to box is risking someone life or at the very least ruining the quality of it. Some commissions or doctor simply look the other way when they know better. If a person has had enough, don't let them fight.
