Poll: Most Hated Fighter

[The Legacy]

I'll go with Floyd, although Calzaghe would be second.

Personally I like those two fighters but I think they get more hate then anyone else.

If Malignaggi was on there I would have voted for him, but I guess he's too small time to make it onto the list.

Mayweather followed by Hopkins.

mundine and calzaghe are tied at no.1 for me.......i used to think cal was ok (not having seen him fight much). then i researched his resume, watched him fight in depth and found out about his fanboys..........i hate the guy now lol oh and his performance against bernard....a 43 year old (a great fighter by the way but still old) made him look bad, dropped him, and IMO should have got a draw.

Anyone British automatically gets more hate than anyone else due to the way the numbers are balanced. Witness the ridiculous threads about Calzaghe and Hatton. Even moreso, notice the absurd level of hate for David Haye who has just unified the Cruiserweight division in 22 fights knocking out almost all of his opponents and has ambitions to move to heavyweight and dominate there. It goes something like this:

Joe Calzaghe: Lol calf.aggy does slaps and is a bum and all his fights are against bums and he only beat a million year old bernard hopkins what a looser luls only want 2 fight old Roy junior who is three yers older than Joke Calzslapof.ag

Ricky Hatton: Lol vicky fatton is a bum who does just fight old men and is a protected fiter. Lol he wants too fight bums like meweather and peuli, lul pauli will stop him he has glss chin and he hug lol

David Haye: Lol david haye is a bum and h fite bum lol who is mormick and macaroninellio lol

essentially Calzaghe is apparently hated because he was a protected fighter who didn't leave home and fought only in Wales (notwithstanding the fact that he fought a German in Germany) and now he did leave home he is only looking for (pound for pound and linear light heavyweight champion) old man Bernard Hopkins.

Hatton is hated because he is a protected fighter who stayed in England and fought bums (notwithstanding his second fight being against an American in his home town of New York) and who only fought Kostya because Kostya was old and easy to beat (despite that fact that noone, noone gave him a prayer, not even his own promoter). Then when he moved to the US to fight over there he is criticised for everything from his choice of opponent to the fact that he had a couple of rough fights to the fact that Castillo was "really old" and he was criticised for looking for easy marks to fight. So he fights the best fighter in the world at a higher weight and lost in a fight with controversial refereeing, so now he's still criticised for not fighting anyone but he now has a glass jaw. Baffling.

David Haye is hated for... what exactly? This one is a real mystery. He goes into every fight looking for a knockout, he cleaned up his division beating the former linear champ in his own backyard and then cleans up the belts in his next fight. He's not afraid of anyone and he doesn't play it safe, as evidenced by his lone stoppage loss. He gets an extreme amount of grief for his shakey chin, but it isn;t like he lets his quivering beard make him prudish in the ring. He tries to knock everyone out despite knowing that he isn't exactly packing iron himself... Yet he is still ridiculed.

All of the criticisms that British fighters usually get (and are often justified, Hatton didn't need 38 fights before stepping up to fight Tszyu) simply don't apply to Haye and yet he still gets a comparable level of ****.

I don't hate American fighters and love British fighters so I don't understand why so many Americans have to do the opposite.

Why would you even list Kessler, he's not remotely offensive, is the nicest guy going.

Obviously peope like Tarver, Haye, and others are far more logical listings.

Do hate polls when the starter only lists the choices they conveniently want to negating the worth of the outcome.

Pathctically it's Floyd. He was the best in the world, people hated him. He retires, people hate him. T'is a shame but he does bring it on himself a bit...
