Favorite fighters you have lost some respect for

[kenso]

arthur abraham for sure. i lost respect for him in the taylor fight. dude has all of the gifts in the world, but he wont use them. fast hands*(giant power + steel chin) = vicious early knockouts. instead he gives away the first like 9 rounds of a fight before he decides 'oh i guess ill try and knock him out now'. ******ed. unless he changes his style, i doubt ill ever root for abraham again. i cant stand when a talented fighter hands the fight over on a shiny plate.

i am also reaaaaaaally disappointed in adamek taking the fight with grant. no one wants to see that ****. i loved his win over arreola, thought the guy did a fantastic job - but michael grant? cmon no one has cared about him since he lost to lewis. (great win for lewis BTW)

The first 2 names that come to mind are......
juan manuel lopez and david haye. I'm still a fan of them 2, but every day that goes but i start wondering about these 2 guys is heart...What about some of you guys? Some of us don't defend our fav fighters when they are wrong.

I lost all respect for Marg. He was one of my favorites. I believe he did have loaded gloves when he fought Cotto and basically ruined him for life. Marg should be banned for life. That's my opinion.

Adamek has to stay busy though and he wants to get some experience fighting a tall opponent. HBO and Showtime don't give this guy enough respect.

Pac and Floyd for not getting it on. I'm begining to think that was just a fake story about DLH saying it was coming..

Oh yeah, why did I forget Bernard Hopkins? That dude tried to play everybody like a fool with that Jones rematch and avoiding Dawson and Adamek.

zab judah and Cintron

[KILLA RIGHT]

Floyd Mayweather back when he avoided Margarito and carried Oscar for 12 rounds. And, I will never forgive him for that.

fight a no name fighter? Or get the biggest payday you can possibly get vs a big name and at 154. Come on man

How can you lose respect for Hopkins fighting Dawson or Adamek without losing respect for them fighting a 45 year old, come on now.

Baldomir was a bigger name then Margarito? Umm no....

Was Baldomir an easier fight then Margarito? Of course he was.

Did he carry an old full time promoter, part time boxer for 12 rounds? Yes he did.

Will never be forgiven for that for those 2 outcome. NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I probably would up to an extent. But the 45 year old we are referring to used to be the door to 175 lb supremacy. Ring did the right thing by dropping him from that spot. I think Hopkins' run at 160 and his other wins are good though. He just lost interest in fighting the best. No other way you can put it.
