We always hear about bad blood between fighters and rivalries. Most fighters when it's said and done have respect for their opponent and often become friends after but what rivalries so you think fighters has real animosity towards each other?
Lewis vs Tyson was very heated, conference brawls a wall between them at the fight but at the end of the day I knew they would become friends after.
Bellew seems to still hate Cleverly even after winning the second fight.
Morales-Barrera seemed to really not like one another back in the day.
Those are a few examples. Your opinions?
he did say that but you could hear in his voice he doesn't like broner. there's just no point in talking about it, especially when he's commentating on air, it's not professional for a start.
Broner said he took Paulies belt and his girl but then Paulie claimed that was just his side piece. Pretty embarrassing back n forth from both fighters in the post fight interview. I think they've patched it up somewhat now.
im pretty sure paulie said thats all water under the bridge

benn eubank always stood out , because it was real , all these other ''rivalries'' with british middleweights seem forced to try to recreate the hype , and they did with froch groves. people forget groves degale was ppv in the uk when theyd had 10 fights , audley haye was ppv because there was a grudge from a sparring session lennox lewis initiated . The brits and aussies really know what sells , and fromm mundine vs geale , mundine green , to green cameron tua meehan , all decent money scraps fighting each other because of heritage . arreola seth mitchell seemed pretty heated before it started . Khan and brook hate each other , fury and price , the list is endless , but the question to ask is , how many would still ''hate'' if they were not financially rewarded for doing so ?
Margarito and Cotto had real hatred for each other but then again I don't think many people in the boxing world seem to like Cotto. I've heard countless times from many different sources that Cotto is not a cool dude. He would even refuse to have a photo with a young kid who's a big fan, talks down to people, stuff like that.
good call, ironcally hbo did a great job of building up cotto as the hero and margarito as the villan
Groves and DeGale.
Grew up and trained at the same amateur gym but never liked each other. Fought in the amateurs and in the pros. Were involved in a backstage bust-up at the weigh-in for the Clev-Bellew card.

Brandon Rios and Victor Ortiz have real beef and hate each other. I remember reading that ortiz's brother pulled a gun on Brandon or something like that. I wish that fight could be made (can't because ortiz is with haymon) because the promotion would be fun.
That would be a good fight.
