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

Lost respect Zab judah, and Gatti

i didn't like lacy at first because he was all mouth. well most boxers are, but after watching him in interviews and on certain stuff about his background etc i can see he is a really nice guy. anyway i like lacy because in that fight where he was getting his assed kicked he kept on trying. everything went wrong for him, but he stood there. he took the punches and tried to come back. that got my respect because it takes a lot of heart to carry on like that.

I love this perspective. Great post. When I get my karma-giving properties back, this one's getting some green.

Jermain Taylor. I used to hate him, but I liked the performance he put up against Pavlik. He showed a lot of heart and you knew he was focused all the way through.

I don't really like him, but I don't hate him anymore.

I was rooting against both Miranda and Taylor when they fought Pavlik. I still back Pavlik over both men but after such great wars and incredible class they're both listed in my fav fighters. I feel like Taylor has tons of pride, and the right kind of pride. Not the kind that causes you to run around overhyping yourself and degrading your opponent.

No, but sometimes I have a change of heart on boxing in general.
Sometime its hard to understand why its called a sport... I mean you can have an up and coming fighter who is 20-0 who fights an opponent with a 23-4 record, they win that fight and then fight someone who is 11-25-10 its why boxing isnt mainstream, but I hang in there because some matches do happen that make up for the crappy bouts.

yeah I agree boxing sometimes has some ****ty matchups but the best fights make up for it and more to me.

after being a fan for years....

i realize how much of a douche oscar is everytime i watch his career from tito on

I agree, I still am an Oscar fan....but after watching all of his fights again, it looks like he's a robot! lol and then after he loses complains.. And then he fights Forbes....

Zab Judah, I had to stop rooting for him, I was losing money after fights, learned to just bet on FLoyd. I met both of them on S. Beach a year before they fought too.They were chilling, Zab was walking all around and Floyd was kickign it with us on the bench just bull****ting. I was a Judah fan at the time and I can't front I wasn't that familiar w/ Floyd, I just knew him from that Raekwon video

A few years back, I hated Miguel Cotto and felt the only reason he was undefeated was because his handlers were were carrying him. It felt as if the Puerto Ricans were trying to hurry up and replace Tito. Now it's obvious that they knew he wasn't quite ready at the time. I love his aggression and body attack and he deserves a shot at Mayweather, who I will never like.
