lol, erik is the man, even the pinoys love him....only barrera fans dont like him, oh and dweins, you seem to forget all the **** barrera said and did to morales before the dad incident, and also erik told that to roach because he was saying the only reason erik won was the cut and that manny and him underestimated erik, so while i dont agree in acting so harshly, at least morales kept it as cool as possible for a guy who busts his ass in a fight and then hears excuses...Morales is a nice guy and respectful. I was sitting next to Tony Lopez and Erik went up to him and said hello and its an honor to meet him. I then said hi to Morales since he was there and shook his hand as well. He said hello also but was in a rush since he had to use the bathroom. I only know that part because I went right after that and saw him in there.
Thats a weird post, but its true.Comment

'Marvelous' Marvin Hagler?
Maybe the greatest Middleweight Champ, never ducked anyone (to my knowledge), fought Sugar Ray, was ROBBED and retired after he was denied a rematch.
Any haters?Comment
-
unfortunately any Sugar Ray fans who are tired of hearing Hagler was robbed are probably not fans of Marvin...Comment
-
exactly, im a fan of sugar ray though not necesarily a huge one, but damn im tired of hearing people say hagler was robbed, marvin, it was your fault, you let yourself lose it....Comment

this will happen with anyone who either has close great fights, or is either very ****y....
RJJ
PBF
ODH
Tyson
Lewis
Hatton
we could list for ages....nobody will every agree on many fighters...people have their favorites and usually support them passionately so of course you probably won't like anyone that beats your guy or talks smack about your guy...but then if you only look at undefeated guys ala Mayweather everyone else hates him cuz he beat their guy...so its a lose lose...you might not find any fighters that EVERYONE can agree on...maybe much older fighters or maybe guys like Gatti...or speaking of Gatti...what about Micky Ward? nobody i've ever talked to seems to have a problem with himComment

In general, I don't know if it's possible for anyone to be liked by everyone. Even Jesus Christ, who was flawless, had his detractors. Respect, on the other hand, may be more achievable. Be that as it may, I do think the following fighters (past and present) have a high percentage of people who like and respect them:- Muhammad Ali
- Oscar de la Hoya
- Joe Louis
- Evander Holyfield
- Sugar Ray Robinson
- Arturo Gatti
- Roberto Duran
- Manny Pacquiao

I mean, yeah, Barrera was a **** to Morales, by why throw water at his dad?lol, erik is the man, even the pinoys love him....only barrera fans dont like him, oh and dweins, you seem to forget all the **** barrera said and did to morales before the dad incident, and also erik told that to roach because he was saying the only reason erik won was the cut and that manny and him underestimated erik, so while i dont agree in acting so harshly, at least morales kept it as cool as possible for a guy who busts his ass in a fight and then hears excuses...
I heard the Roach incident went something like this:
FR: Hey Erik, great fight, it looks like we took you a little too lightly.
EM: Shut the **** and sit down.
Just seems a little excessive. Morales is a great fighter though, I respect him a lot, he just seems like a ****.
I really think the only person that can be the only person that no one hates is ODLH, because he is a nice, good fighter who is exciting, and he hasn't beat anyone who has a huge fan following. I mean, the Mosley, Mayweather, Hopkins or Trinidad fans can't really hate him. I guess the Vargas fans can, but why? Vargas started all that ****, same with Mayorga fans. In fact, I am a big fan of both Mayorga and Mayweather and I still like De La Hoya a lot.Comment
