    When the prince was fighting i couldnt stand this guy... But after looking at old footage this guy was hella funny and entertaining... Swagger was off the charts... Good skills and power too.

    Carl Froch was one I slowly grew to like after initially hating him.

        Chris Byrd. I couldn't stand watching him as a heavyweight titlist, but I've recently been watching his older fights and I've grown to become a Byrd fan. His defensive maneuvers and touch-touch style of boxing was genius in many ways.

        I harbored a lot of resentment towards him as a fan because he beat one of my favorites David Tua, but Byrd came in as a big underdog and just shut him down.

            For me Hatton was the opposite. After he beat Kostya Tzsyu I rated him highly and he never looked as good since.

                  It was less about skills. It was more just so heated in the debates with the hattonites etc that got me so frustrated.
