Can anyone think of any fights where the boxers have reeeeeeeally hated each other. ie with taunting, brawling, fouling and fighting after the bell?
Real Bad Blood between fighters?

Rid**** Bowe-Jorge Luis Gonzalez: Bowe made a comment about Jorge's mother back in the Amateurs, and Bowe lost to Gonzalez then.
Ray Leonard-Roberto Duran: They were cool later on but going into the first fight they disliked each other.
Marco Antonio Barrera-Erik Morales: Morales still dislikes Barrera. I don't know if Barrera cares. Probably because he got the better of the trilogy.
Lennox Lewis-Evander Holyfield: Lewis called Holyfield a hypocrite because he's a Christian with 1000 babies. I dunno about how Lewis thinks about Holyfield now, but Holyfield says he still doesn't like him for "assassinating his character". I think Holyfield is more mad at the fact that Lewis beat him.
I don't think Muhammad Ali really ever disliked Joe Frazier that much, but Frazier detests him to this day.
Frazier: I forgive him.
A couple weeks later.
Frazier: Look at him! I made him shake and slur his words like that (with pride).Comment

I think Frazier genuinely hated or hates Ali. I think Ali did it for publicity but his antics really hurt Frazier and Frazier has some what understandably held a grudge.
