Boxers u used to hate but now like (vice versa)

I used to hate Bernard Hopkins. I thought he was boring, i learned to appreciate his style and his ring smarts. I used to like(well, i didnt mind him) Joe Calzaghe. Now i hate him, mostly because of all the nuthuggers on here considering him an all time great.

Hate To Like Joe Calzaghe Jermaine Taylor Lennox Lewis Evander Holyfield Larry Holmes Vernon Forrest Like To Hate Riddick Bowe David Tua Felix Sturm Terry Norris Ray Mancini Zab Judah Ike Quartey Hate And Still Hate Oscar DLH Julio Cesar Chavez Hasim Rahman John Ruiz Antonio Tarver Sven Öttke Henry Maske George Foreman Ricky Hatton

I hated Tony M but liek him now.. I hated Calzaghe but dude can boxQ!

David Haye. He was cool until he started talking about seeing ghosts and having sex with 20 men. That's when my attitude about him changed haha the 20 men bit was made up, are you that retarded to believe that?

Once liked Wlad before i frequented boxing forums and found out how overrated he is by his ball washers. His recent ultra-safety style against pussy cats hasn't helped. Never liked Hopkins but his demolition of Pavlik made me a fan, he deified logic in that fight and showed that dedication and class have no age limit. His legacy is also unquestioned.

Hate to like & Liked to hate... PFB... I love his boxing skills. Check hook to Hatton was the most beautiful and the funniest shot in boxing. Still hate: John Ruiz... I just hate that fagget. I hope he dies in a car acciedent.

USED TO LIKE: Hasim Rahman until that pitiful effort against Wlad on Saturday Zab Judah until that pitiful loss to Carlos Baldomir in 2006 Vitali Klitschko until he ran into retirement from Rahman in 2005 Nonito Donaire until I heard him commentate on the Darchinyan-Z Gorres fight, most biased commentating I've ever heard I can't think of anybody I used to hate and like now, but if I gave it some time I bet I could

I used to like mayweather but now i dont like his attitude his like a 10 yr old child who obviously had a bad upbringing and now that his got money and fame its really got to him and now he thinks his some gangsta, wat a d*ck. I didnt like pacman i really wanted him to lose in every fight after the barrera fight. But after reading about him and seing 24/7 recently i think his a great guy. He came from a poor upbringing but hasnt forgotten his people and how they struggle. A really genuine guy who knows how to present himself in public unlike mayweather who looks pretentious to me.

Hate To Like: 1. Bernard Hopkins 2. Roy Jones Jr. 3. Ricky Hatton Like to Hate: 1. Jermaine Taylor 2. Casamayor 3. Oscar De La Hoya Always Hated and STILL Hate: 1. Pac-Man 2. Calzaghe 3. Mayweather as you can tell I hate unbeatable fighters..........LOL

I used to HATE Nate Campbell now I like him I used to LIKE Juan Diaz but not now since he's fighting Marquez. I used to HATE Zsolt Erdei and Chris John for being so protected, and I still HATE them.

I used to hate Hopkins and Haye especially, now theyre two of my favorite fighters. I used to like Calzaghe and Hatton, now I dont like them at all (as fighters, people, personalities etc).

Hate To Like: I used to hate Juan Diaz. I hated his baby fat, his lack of power, and his annoying yelps. I always acknowledged his skill though. After Katsidis, I started to really like him though. It was the best he's ever looked against a top contender IMO. His jab was beautiful. Now I am a fan. Mayweather: I loved him at first, but started to dislike him around the time of the Gatti fight. It was such a mismatch and I hated the persona he created. Now I understand that he tried to be the hero for years, but it didn't pay, so he had to become the bad guy. His fight with Hatton was one of my favorites in years. He is a true master. Arreola: It pissed me off that this dude with the golden ticket (HBO and Al Haymon backing and an undefeated record in a lackluster division) would not do roadwork. He is a good fighter with a tough, pressure style and hard punches, but he needs to put in the effort in his conditioning training if he wants to beat a klitschko. that being said, i like the guy whenever he opens his mouth. he is exciting. i really enjoyed his respectful comments of toney in his interview on versus. now i like arreola. (I still wish he trained harder though) Tarver: I hated him so much after beating Roy. After Bernard easily whooped his ass though, I felt a little bad for him. Then, against powder puffs Santiago and Muriqi (which it can be argued he lost) I hated him again for talking sh^t and fighting bums, and looking bad in the process. I somehow started cheering for him before the Woods fight again though. Then, I found myself cheering for him against Dawson, but he can't not hang with the best in the division anymore.... Like To Hate: Jeff Lacy: Never liked him. He was overhyped, but decent and stepped up too soon. He was always sluggish and one dimensional. Now he is completely shot. I don't even think he can throw left hooks anymore at all. Rocky Juarez: Too many shots, without success. How does this guy still get title shots? He bored me to tears against JMM (Though it was fun watching him get his ass kicked) and in Barrera II where he did nothing. Soto beat him, yet somehow rocky gets the shot. He was losing to Barrios, but Barrios knew he couldnt win with corrupt houston judging, so he punched himself out and stood in front of rocky with his hands down and his mouth open. im glad he at least showed SOMETHING in that performance though! I could live without watching him fight again though.

David Haye.. the guy is actually quite funny.. and not a driveling idiot when he speaks... SO I kind of like they guy.. and used to not.. Oscar dela Hoya; used to Love the guy.. until I saw the worst acting performance of my life.. when he got KO'd by B-Hop... I mean watch it.. He is Screaming.. "I can't breath.. I cant breath" Now for anyone who has ever tried to yell when they can't breath.. will know that DLH was full of shit.. ANd that he was as corrupt as the next guy.. and possibly even worse..

hate to like Ever change your allegiance on a boxer from hating them to liking them or vice versa? Who have you flip flopped on? and if you wanna go into it why? Hate to like Joel Casamayor - I really couldnt stand this guy pre-Corrales and I especially didnt like him when he fought Corrales, but since I have grown to appreciate him more, and was actually cheering for him against Marquez. Like to Hate Edison Miranda - I generally like Colombian fighters, and Miranda was no different, when he fought Eastman in his breakout bout I was cheering for him. He had a touching storyline behind him and everything. Since then though he has revealed himself to be a major loudmouth and a crybaby, while at the same time acting like he is no longer from Colombia, but opting to go around decked out in Puerto Rican gear. anyway these are just two examples. Any fighters you have switched stances on? Used to hate Arguello, then I liked him. Used to hate Hagler, then I liked him. Used to hate Foreman, than I liked him. Used to hate Michael Spinks, than I liked him. Used to like Camacho, than I hated him Used to like Zab, than I hated him.

I used to hate Hopkins - Because he was being a rascist I used to hate Mallignaggi - He now seems a decent guy

I used to completely hate Jermaine Taylor but thought he was brave against pavlik and now dont mind him at all. David Haye falls into the same sort of category
