Used to hate Dirrel, not a fan yet, but im coming around. It will really depend on how he decides to fight from now on. If he finds his bike again ill go back to hating him, if he uses his reflexes more to concentrate more on ****ing the other guy up than getting out of the way (and running to the opposite side of the ring) ill become a fan.
Wlad. Still not a fan, wont ever be, but ive 10x more repsect for him than i had 4 years ago.
And going the other way around, i used to like Haye, and over the last 12 months ive given every chance. Now i want him KOd
Joe Calzaghe and the Klitschko brothers, hated em a couple years back(mainly because of the fans) but now they're a few of my all time favorite fighters.
Mayweather.........but I wouldn't say I hated him, dislike is the better word. I still don't like much of his talk but I respect his skills in the ring. He is good for boxing because he is the heel of boxing. Boxing needs a personality like that. Actually Pacman and Floyd are 2 great personalities to have for boxing. One is the humble, "its nothing personal" guy and the other is the trash talking genius. Both are great for the game.
For me:
Miguel Cotto. Couldnt stand him one bit now hes one of my favorite fighters.
Just because he's not fighting a black fighter that's why you like him now.
Fukin racist.
Wladimir Klitschko. I've always been a huge fan of Vitali but never a fan of Wlad. However I've learned to like him now. He may not be in the best era, but he's dominating everyone in it. I feel the same way. I used to dislike like Wlad cause of his style but now i can't help but to admire the way he's cleaning out the heavyweight division.
