I never liked floyd mayweather... at all.. Coming from a big hatton fan i basically despised the guy. But i gotta give credit where credit is due... Hes the best, i think he also showed alot of class after the Hatton fight, and that his antics before every fight arent really what he is all about deep down. No one is gonna beat that guy, ever

I wasn't too fond of Calzaghe, especially as a big Hopkins fan, but he's definitely grown on me.

Roy Jones. He and one of my favorite fighters B-Hop don't get along so I always disliked Roy. He's ok with me now especially since the arguments between me and his fans has settled down.

Actually, i never liked ricky hatton, but after his fight with floyd he seemeede like a likeable guy and was the first person to do to floyd what he said he was gonna do. Put pressure "and not stop throwing punches until his heart exploded". In reality it's like his heart exploded because he got knocked out and fought until he couldnt anymore. Much Props Ricky

I use to be a big Roy Jones fan...but now,after 'Sleepytime',and taking an objective look at his career,as in who he fought and who he didn't...not so much.
His last three fights are a reminder of his opponents in his prime.
Yes he was fast,had great hand speed,power and so on...but now I feel I should have joined the 'Roycott'.

Mayweather
Kessler
Taylor
Hopkins

Miguel Cotto has really grown on me...I had my doubts about Cotto and I bet on Mosley and Judah over Cotto and lost my money...Cotto keeps proving me wrong and I have slowly become a fan, his style is fun to watch and his heart and power are top notch...I can't wait to see Cotto vs Mayweather...Floyd needs to grow some balls and fight Cotto.

I couldn't stand Joe before either, and I thought he was a protected fraud. The Kessler fight made me see things in an entirely different way. He is a tremendous competitor who knows how to win. Calzaghe and Hopkins both have that in common.

Great thread idea....

Personally a couple years back for some reason I hated Juan Diaz. I don't really know why but I just wanted to see him lose. (same with Rocky juarez, but I got to see a couple of those lol) Anyway after watching him the past couple of years how could anyone not like this guy as a fighter. He's earned me as a lifelong fan.

On the flip side I was always a Judah supporter why I don't know at times but really liked the Zab i saw when he was a focused fighter and knew he had great potential but after many let down and melt downs on his part I'm done.....**** him. He's a wasted talent.

I still don't like Floyd, Never have but I will also admit I have great respect for his skill in the ring and most of the time enjoy his ifghts....but can't bring myself to be a fan of his.....too many other things I don't like about how he carries himself in general.
