Reasons why you hate a fighter . . . .

[MetalVomit]

What are the reasons why you hate a particular fighter. Is it because of nationality? Physical attributes ? Personality? Poor fighting skills ? Or because the guy is a treat to your favorite fighter?

For me I like the sports for the excitement that the action brings inside the ring. I don’t really hate any particular fighter, it’s just that I dislike fighters who BITES more than they could chew, insults other fighters just to create a stir and get attention. Zab and Mayorga would be my best example. They are good, they bring excitement inside that ring, but their dirty mouths is sharper than their skills.

How about you guys?

usually personality does it for me (Tarver). or poor skills (Ruiz)

I just don't like boring fighters like Ruiz, I don't mind ppl that talk ****, like if they were invinsible, like Jones, cuz when they loss, is just soooo sweeet!

JOhn Ruiz is hated by me cause he is boring as hell, but i liked prince naseem cause he was so full of it in a joking idiot kind of way, and when he lost he gave up which is what annoyed me, but when barrera beat him naz took it on the chin.

when roy got beaten he made excuses like a *****.

Are you serious? You hate or dislike a fighter because of the color of his skin? Oh common . . . that must be a joke.

no im saying thats why people dont like wlad

he is a horse of a different color as larry merchant so eloquently put it

[techn9ne]

some may say its the same reason why white people dont watch those street ball shows on espn

I don't really hate any fighter right now. I would have to say that whenever I did hate a fighter it was because of their personality. Arrogant fighters who claim to be so great I just can't stand and always root against them. What makes a fighter great is when they prove it in the ring and everyone else says and thinks they are great!!! I also like it when fighters are critical of themselves. This is so rare though!!!

I hate quiters. Boxing is no place for gutless quiters.

I hate quiters. Boxing is no place for gutless quiters.

Yep, every once in a while you will see a fight were the other guy gets hit with a good shot or two and they take a freakin knee. Complete BS. I dislike Judah for throwing that temper tantrum. I mean I cant really blame Nadey for that call. Juda looked like he just undergone a labotomy.

I like

****y fighters. They have to put up or shut up. In only boxing can an athlete who talks and runs his mouth get his ass kicked for it. So if a fighter doesn't put up, I'm satisfied. He's paid the price.

Boxing is unlike any other sport. It's not organized. So fighters have to make average fans interested in watching them. So who cares if you watch them because you want them to lose (like ali). As long as you watch. If any fighter gets in the ring expecting to lose, i don't want to see the bastard fight anyway. He's more likely to quit.

I hate Angel Manfredy. I hate John Ruiz. I can't fault every fighter for not being like Morales or Barrera or Trinidad. Most fighters don't have their skill. Chris Byrd is boring but he's doing the best with what he's got against heavies. So I m not mad at him.

But when you lose fair and square (like Ruiz did vs. RJJ and like Manfredy does vs. every body) and then complain you were robbed, that' you've never really been beaten and that only you beat yourself, that makes me sick.

When a fighter loses and says, "He sucks. he aint nothing." That bothers me. Because if you lose to someone who sucks and aint nothing, what does that make you, the figthter who lost to him?

For that reason, I hope Angel Manfredy gets put in a coma every time he fights. He makes me sick. he disgusts me with his disrespect and his loathing about Jesus. he's more "born again" than Jimmy Swaggart.

I don't like punks like Vargas who talk a bunch of **** and can't back it up (DLH fight)

I also hate The Camachos and Hameds of the world who are always talking and making a mockery of the sport.
