Fighters You Once Hated But Now Love

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.

well Clottey was the best option out there when the floyd mayweather fight fell through. clottey was at the time ranked the #5 welterweight by ring magazine whereas berto was ranked #7 (http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=328934). also, mosley and berto i think was still scheduled to fight eachother when manny vs clottey was made.

I dont want to spoil the thread. But don't you have to know someone to either hate or love them?

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.

Carl Froch, he is arrogant and sometimes way too ****y, but he's a great fighter who's not afraid to fight the best, something that most boxers lack nowadays.

Hopkins for me...I used to see how boring he was and hate on him, now that he is still being as boring as ever at 46, I love the guy. I can't think of a guy where my personal opinion of him has swayed so much. If he had been with a legit promotional company for all those years the guy would be getting even more love than he is now.

Froch. When the Six first started I couldn't stand this guy but now he is fast becoming one of my faves

I cant honestly think of one right off the time so Ill answer it a lil differently. I didnt hate Ward but I thought he was pretty much overrated and looked so average. Then the Miranda fight came and since then I think he's going to be the P4P champ one day probably.

I see people named Froch so Ill add him. Again, didnt hate him but I thought he was truly garbage. I thought AA was going to straight destroy him. Now I respect dude so much. I severly underrated him

I gotta admit that froch had grown on me.
