Boxers u used to hate but now like (vice versa)

[FloydsEra]

David Haye. He was cool until he started talking about seeing ghosts and having sex with 20 men. That's when my attitude about him changed

[boxa-ali]

I used to like mayweather but now i dont like his attitude his like a 10 yr old child who obviously had a bad upbringing and now that his got money and fame its really got to him and now he thinks his some gangsta, wat a d*ck.


I didnt like pacman i really wanted him to lose in every fight after the barrera fight. But after reading about him and seing 24/7 recently i think his a great guy. He came from a poor upbringing but hasnt forgotten his people and how they struggle. A really genuine guy who knows how to present himself in public unlike mayweather who looks pretentious to me.

USED TO LIKE:

Hasim Rahman until that pitiful effort against Wlad on Saturday

Zab Judah until that pitiful loss to Carlos Baldomir in 2006

Vitali Klitschko until he ran into retirement from Rahman in 2005

Nonito Donaire until I heard him commentate on the Darchinyan-Z Gorres fight, most biased commentating I've ever heard


I can't think of anybody I used to hate and like now, but if I gave it some time I bet I could

Hate to like & Liked to hate...

PFB... I love his boxing skills. Check hook to Hatton was the most beautiful and the funniest shot in boxing.

Still hate:

John Ruiz... I just hate that ***get. I hope he dies in a car acciedent.

Once liked Wlad before i frequented boxing forums and found out how overrated he is by his ball washers. His recent ultra-safety style against ***** cats hasn't helped.

Never liked Hopkins but his demolition of Pavlik made me a fan, he deified logic in that fight and showed that dedication and class have no age limit. His legacy is also unquestioned.

[The Scientist]

Ever change your allegiance on a boxer from hating them to liking them or vice versa?

Who have you flip flopped on? and if you wanna go into it why?


Hate to like
Joel Casamayor - I really couldnt stand this guy pre-Corrales and I especially didnt like him when he fought Corrales, but since I have grown to appreciate him more, and was actually cheering for him against Marquez.

Like to Hate
Edison Miranda - I generally like Colombian fighters, and Miranda was no different, when he fought Eastman in his breakout bout I was cheering for him. He had a touching storyline behind him and everything. Since then though he has revealed himself to be a major loudmouth and a crybaby, while at the same time acting like he is no longer from Colombia, but opting to go around decked out in Puerto Rican gear.

anyway these are just two examples.

Any fighters you have switched stances on?

Like to Dislike:
Used to respect Mayweather, until I started noticing his bratty side emerging as his career progressed. The fella can be incredibly annoying now. However, his skills I appreciate.

Dislike to Like:
James Toney was on par with Mayweather on the annoying factor, but his old school way of fighting and his sometimes funny rants are responsible for him eventually growing on me.

There are a few more...but in the end so long as I'm witnessing a good fight, who cares?

DLH by far from Like to really dislike. I am glad he got his ass whooped.
