Surely true boxing fans shouldn't hate any fighters?.

[Tha Greatest]

The eXig thing, or the Mayweather thing, or both? If just eXig, then who has Mayweather ducked?

He's pricing himself out a fight with Zab Judah...

Ducking Margarito like the plague...

Talkin but aint walkin

[Parodius]

I dont get it either!!!

Nobody should hate John Ruiz!
If you don't like watching him fight, THEN DON'T!!!!!

There are 3 others ****in champions u can watch!!

The people you should be hating are Mayweather and Byrd for being ***** ducking bitches!

Mayweather hasn't duck no one, Barrera & Morales ducked him & every true boxing fans know it. Margarito was a super middleweight & he went down to welterweight, because he didn't want any part of Bitchkins or Taylor.

Trust me no one is ducking Margarito. No one knows Margarito. PBF will beat Margarito in his sleep. Margarito ducked the middleweights.

hmm

Hating is ******, pointless, and ridiculous. There are plenty of blatant haters on here (Juyjuy, Bozo, Martin, McKay) and it gets old arguing with them (which is why I have two of them on ignore). In my opinion, if you cannot talk without constantly insulting a fighter you should just stfu.

Respect all fighters. You can dislike their style, naturally. That's fine. You don't have to like anything. But until you've grown some balls and fought for real, I suggest people stfu. Monday morning quarterbacks...

Even Ruiz...I root against him, but I don't come close to hating him. He's underrated and has a long streak of wins since RJJ.

Hatton...most of his fans don't know a whole lot about restraint, and try to talk **** about RJJ for some reason, but I still like Hatton a lot. I rooted for him vs Tszyu and if he fought Floyd I'd root for him again.

Hatred is against the Bible. It is decreed by God that hatred is a sin, and I believe it. If you hate someone you don't even know because you don't like their style or they don't met your own biased standards, then you are a few notches down on the ladder of society.

Sure real boxing fans can hate boxers.As a black man i hate any black fighter who's actions hurt the black race.Ignorant guys like Toney or Mayweather.Loud mouth guys who make all blacks seem like big mouth idiots.
As a proud heterosexual man i hate guys like Tyson who beat and **** women.Who continue to get chances to change and better themselves but choose not too.Guys like Clifford Ettiene who is a disgrace to the human race.
I don't hate any fighter because of his style of boxing.We all know some guys aren't as tough or brave as others.Infact most men are cowards.If i find your style boring i just don't watch you.Or if you aren't white or black ameican.

I am not black, but I will agree with this for the most part. I don't hate fighters on style wise. Actions always speak louder than words.

It is all possible to respect a fighter on the inside of the ring, and hate him on the out.

No matter who the fighter, you gotta give him respect for getting in the ring and laying it down, even if they lack the heart sometimes, even if things don't go their way.

Sometimes blatent shows of disrespect and lack of heart, however, can contribute to hating on a fighter, and I am all for that.

I've noticed a lot of people hate certain fighters, often for different reasons, but surely true boxing fans should respect all boxers, and the heart they show in this tough sport, it takes a brave man to even step into the ring. I noticed Larry Holmes didn't even bad mouth John Ruiz, he said he was just a guy making a living, maybe guys likeJohn Ruiz could offer to fight some of these ignorant ''fans'' and see how well they do aganist him. i'm not a huge fan of guys like Ruiz, but some peoples comments are ridiculous.

Don't confuse hate with dislike...

I don't hate any fighter, and have never said that I do, but of course there are fighters out there that I dislike. It's kinda gay to be the guy that loves everyone regardless.

Some fighters do things both inside and outside of the ring that are not very honorable. Just because they have chosen to earn a living as a professional fighter doesn't make them exempt from criticism... The sun doesn't shine out of their arses just because they do something that you can't do.

It's OK to say Ruiz is f**kin' boring if that's the way you feel, and there's nothing disrespectful about it.

Also, Some people on this website take things way too personally when their favorite fighter is criticized - (yes you... Super_lightweight). I don't hate RJJ at all... I don't hate any fighter, and if I criticize some of RJJ's career choices, that's NOT a personal attack on you.

I'm a Ricky Hatton fan, and if people criticize Hatton I'll listen to their opinions... Doesn't mean that I agree with them but I am fully aware that no fighter is perfect.

I think it's more ignorant of people to bury there head's in the sand and instantly dismiss criticism as "hating"... For example, I get told that I'm a Mayweather hater just because I criticize his level of opposition since Castillo II 2002'... I'm not a f**kin Mayweather hater! It's MORE difficult to find someone to have an intelligent conversation about it... On a boxing website???...

yes and no........but most people hate certain fighters for their out of ring personality, and sometimes for there in ring lack of sportmanship........

how about that fighter than suckered punched his opponent after losing the match on ESPN and then went on to murder kellerman's brother?

No of course he deserves no respect, that was sickening, and he should never have been allowed to box again. I'm just talking in general terms, boxers who go about their business in a normal way, even if they have a boring stlye etc. that guy you're talking about, he is a guy that should be truly hated, not guys like Ruiz.
