At one time if you asked who was the most disliked of all time the answer would be Sonny Liston now Ruiz without doubt.

Why was Liston disliked?

Why was Liston disliked?
Because in those days the brooding anti social image was very dis-liked by american.Not to mention his connections with organised crime. Even the president asked Patterson to do America a favour and ko Sonny.

Without doubt. He was also one of Foreman's boxing heroes. Foreman used to spar with Sonny.

No one sucks like Ruiz. John's concept of a Champion is win, win and win more by hugging, clinching, clinching more and hugging more.

John Ruiz takes this one for his boringness..
Chris Byrd is also up there since he doesn't KO (I like his style, though.)

All time, in my opinion, would have to be Larry Holmes. Many Ali fans hate him, and there are a whole bunch of Ali fans..

Well I guess that means people must love to hate him, considering all the attention he draws, and how much money his fights can make..

Ruiz by a mile.

Klitschko is liked.
Nobody cared about Byrd really.
Nobody knows who the hell Brewster is to hate him.
