    What fighters do you just dont respect ?

    What fighters do you like or don't like and why?
    Respect or don't respect or both?
    Personally I like all types of fighters and styles, The slick boxer, the cyborg like come ahead fighters, the one punch KO fighters.
    I Dislike but respect Bernard Hopkins, I think his mouth surpasses even the money he gets.
    I like Roy Jones Because he was unbelievable in his prime, a super natural talent.
    I liked Sweet Pea Whitaker and Hector Camacho(prime) the way they fought the best and even made those guys look bad with serious defensive skills.
    I liked Felix Trinidad (Tyson) for always being able to take a guy out with one punch, never allowing me to get a beer or take a piss during a round..lol
    I strongly dislike Joan Guzman as most know of me, because I think he is a pretender, does not fight enough or quality to truly gauge how good he is, which is an injustice to fans but not his nuthuggers.(whoever he fools deserves to be fooled).
    I like Paul Williams because he is a scary freak of nature who can go from 147 to 165 and beat many top fighters.
    I respect but dislike Oscar De La Hoya, because he was a strategist who capitalized on most of his opponents to give him an edge. In other words his over attention to money left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
    I like Miguel Cotto because he is a fighter with qualities that most of us like in our favorite fighters, a quiet warrior who finds a way to win and is honorable except to those fans on the losing end.
    I like Manny Pacquiao (see above).

      I just can't buy into the floyd hype,I know he's undefeated,I know he has good skill,but what I don't know is,if he is sooo great,why is DLH the best fighter he has faced??DLH was beyond his prime & floyd barely beat him!!I understand fighting Baldomir for the welterweight title,I do,but I don't see Judah & Sharmba as anything to brag about!!I don't understand his excuses,I don't understand how he expects to be the best welterweight by fighting Marquez!!When Cotto & Mosley are lying in the cut!!I can understand why he won't fight the Punisher,hell every one else is shook,so he gets a pass there,Ur sopposed to look great when fighting Gatti,but I want to see u fight Cotto or Mosley,can u look great fighting those guys,I don't think I'll ever know,it's sad really!!

          All I will say is too each his own. Some people standards are different than others.
          For me Sanchez had like 8 losses when they fought, Jauergui like 12 losses, Soto and Barrios....We can debate Barrios won but wont and Soto chased his ass all over but at the same time these two guys are not in the elite status. I dont liek anyh fighter that fights once a year or less. But again to each his own.

            I agree. I think he is a bit hyped but has the skill...he reminds me of Hoya....More of his mind is on money and who he can maybe catch at a weak point in their career or who he can get 70% from.

              They all were quality fighters,the number of losses of a fighter doesn't mean much.
              And altough it was close I thought he clearly beat Barrios and even more easier Soto(whici I consider very good).

              But I agree that his inactivity is a waste of talent.

                  No reason?
                  I forgot to mention. I really liked Margarito because he seemed to be an underdog type fighter that no one gave a break to, plus Ilike his come staright forward style.
                  But it seems to me (I know not proven) but seems to me when a respectful fighter finally gave him a big shot he over capitalized on it.

                    You guys are talking about "Welterweight Money" Mayweather. Floyd at 130 & 135 was a beast. First fight at LW was a prime Castillo. Floyd had balls back then, now he is acts like a diva and spends more time in a WWE ring than a Boxing ring.
