    Have you ever had a change of heart on a boxer?

    Is there a boxer you couldn't stand but have somehow come to like them or vice versa you liked them but now you hate them? Personally I wasn't much of fan of Wladimir Klitschko but i re watched a lot of his fights and he's grown on me.

    for me evander holyfield. when i first started watching boxing it was about the time he fought lewis in their first match, so about 10 years or so? anyways i couldn't stand him in the slightest. then i watched some of his earlier fights and wars and i've grown to love him as a fighter. so much courage and heart. just wish he would hang them up now

        My opinion of Zab Judah has dropped quite a bit.

            I actually only saw Vernon Forrest fight for the first time because I was a Mayorga fan, but then I kind of lost interest in Mayorga, mostly because I find it hard to support someone who throws such slow looping shots.

            Anyways, Vernon grew on me, and now he is one of my favorite fighters.

              If Money Mayweather only fights for money and fights once a year like Oscar, then he may become my first.

              Well, I was a Tyson fan a long time ago, after watching the Robin Givens interview, the **** charges and biting Evander Holyfield's ears off, did it!

                  Holyfield, used to love to watch him fight, can't stand to watch him fight now.

                    Even though I'm a total ***** for doing so...

                    I considered myself a moderate Jeff Lacy fan... trying to watch his old matches, see whether I really liked him or not before I deemed him as one of my favorites...

                    Then I watched the Joe Calzaghe fight.

                    I really can't take someone seriously when they get ****ed up that badly. I mean, that was just embarrassing what happened to him.

                    I just can't support Jeff Lacy now.

                    Much the same way that I had problems supporting Mayorga after I saw what De La Hoya did to him.
