Oscar De La Hoya: wears fishnets, pays off judges to protect his golden ginger.
Floyd Mayweather: No explanation needed.
He wasn't that bad, just beat his wife a few x. Most dudes beat their women back in the day.
Most great fighters were crappy human beings. Par for the course.
Yeah boxers come from bad places most of the time.
I don’t really like this topic because if we did this for every fighter we wouldn’t like any boxers. Yeah they’ve all messed up but nobody is perfect. Even the greatest fighters of all time you could find something negative about all of them all you gotta do is look. You could say Floyds a woman beater, lots of guys are PED cheats. SRR was abusive towards women, SRL, Pacquiao, Calzaghe, DLH, Whitaker, Aaron Pryor (RIP) all used drugs. Not to mention most of these guys had multiple women or cheated. It doesn’t change the fact that they are still legends in the sport.
Floyd and Oscar both have had their issues but I wouldn’t even put them in the Top 30. Other greats have done a lot worse than them it’s not even close. In all honesty most of our favourite boxers have done dirt from SRR to Monzon to Leonard to Tyson to Pacquiao to Hopkins to Mosley to Riddick Bowe. Look up guys like Clifford Etienne, Antonio Margarito, Luis Resto and James Butler and read what they did before you bring up guys like Broner and others. Everybody makes mistakes but those sorts of crimes are unforgivable.
Sugar Ray Robinson who you guys nuthug.

One of the atg boxing movies staring Paul Newman.
Yes, classic flick. During filming they actually hired Tony Zale for the fight scenes. According to Zale, Newman came at him too heavy handed during fight scenes and Zale dropped him with a body shot. Newman refused to work with him after that and Zale was replaced by an actor.

Ibeabuchi, such a good fighter but a bad rapist. He could had paid for some azz but he rather rape it
hopkins prison thing was a satire article by an troll from east side boxing.
the same dude who wrote about fishnets skinny dipping with freddie roach and roach found out and got mad.
Have you ever seen on face offs how close Bhop got to his opponent face? He has no fear of another dude's body fluids getting on to him or his mouth
How is wearing fishnets comparable to domestic violence you moron? Who is he hurting by dressing up as a woman?
Plus there's NO PROOF he pays off judges. Show proof, then post.
the fishnets was a joke, but oscar raped underage girls and paid them off. he has a history of doing that.
Graziano was a badass. Punched out his commanding officer when drafted into the army. Spent a lot of time in and out of lock up. During his boxing career he did finally pull it together.

was graziano that bad? I know he was a thug when he was younger, and stayed friends with Jake, but I didn't hear much about him doing bad things when he was older.
Jake was scum through and through however.
