[texasboi15]

Post some examples of fighters in which, for whatever reason, you didn't like in the past but now you respect or maybe even love.

Jermain Taylor

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

I hated Sergio Martinez before but became a fan during the Cintron fight which he got robbed in.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.- I once hated him for his arrogant and ****y air but his superior talent and fighting skills could turn anyone into a boxing fan.

Floyd. I couldn't stand his a$$.His welterweight run was absolute garbage. Until Pacman turned up. I was a huge Pacman fan & Floyd basher. Then Floyd manned up & beat the **** out of Sugar who was too good for Pacman at 142 right after he wipped the floor with Margarito.

Then Pacman signed to fight Margarito at the infamous catchweight. It was the most appalling thing I have ever seen,he hasn't looked back since,he followed that with Mosley & now Marquez who for some reason was a garbage fight for Floyd.

Now the same people are trying to say that ortiz is a bogus fight.The same people that loved Margarito,Mosley & now Marquez.Like they forgot that Ortiz beat berto who Pacman for whatever reason decided to let slide while he beat a shot Sugar Shane.

So now I respect Floyd because at least he left the sport alone for a while instead of swindling fans out of meaninless ppv garbage.

Lol, in all serious, it was a blatant duck for Pacquiao to duck Berto, he had no reason NOT to fight Berto after fighting a 0% fanbase fighter of Clottey, while atlest Berto had a small America following, not to mention that he could have beaten a PRIME champion.

Berto's first loss should have never been against Ortiz, it should have been against Pacquiao if anything.
