Which Boxers did you used to hate and now currently like (and why?)?

[MeiXiang]

I've been thinking - I've been giving Brandon Rios a bit of **** but lately the more I see him on ESNews, I actually think he'd be quite a lot of fun to hang out with. I still think that as an illigimate title holder, he's got a lot to learn but his personality has grown on me a lot. I'll be looking forward to him destroying Murray next week. Murray reminds me a lot of Rios in that he's a walking punch bag relying on his brute force rather than boxing skills.

Mayweather

he's fighting murrary on the cotto/margs card.
and i myself never really hated an actual fighter but just more of their fanbase. that said, in the beginnng i thought khan was a bit of a hypejob, but he is continuing to fight top guys in his weight class so nothing really bad could be said about the guy if he continues winning.

[Russian Crushin]

Froch

He backs up what he says, has a great resume and always gives his best, also to please the fans

Brandon Rios.

I never heard of him until I saw that video where he was imitating Roach. Then I saw him fight on the undercard of Pacquiao-Margarito and I wasn't really impressed. I didn't like him bad mouthing Ortiz either who I considered, at that time, much more skilled than Rios.

I started liking Rios since Elie started doing the interviews from Garcia's gym. I now like his honesty during interviews and was impressed by his showings against Acosta and Antillion.

Bam Bam is bad-ass.

[Hi-Dro]

Froch because he backs up what he says and is a str8 G...

Khan...he has 140 on lock and wants to fight the best...**** bradley

Always hated Floyd Mayweather, but I learned to admire his tremendous abilites and ring intelligence. Still hate his Money May persona outside of the ring though.

To a lesser extent Carl Froch. Not as one-dimensional as I thought and with a very impressive year. I'd have never thought he'd be anywhere the top 20 P4P and now he has a real case...

Also Hopkins, I am still not his biggest fan, but he kinda won me over with the Pavlik-fight and his stare to the press row was goosebumps material. Credit where credit is due, where he is at his age is simply amazing.

I used to hate Lennox Lewis when he was the heavyweight champion of the world but now, i have to admit that i miss him...

[Evil Abed]

Wlad.

Hated his style the first time I saw him fight.

I've learned to respect his ability because 99% of big guys can't do what he does.

Pacquiao.. i thought Morales would've got the better of him where he younger and i didnt like how he was taking fights against older boxers (Barrera II) his style made for a lot of action but i didn't really like the way he just threw one twos, it would put me off. i also thought Marquez should have one at least one of their fights.. right around the time of the David Diaz fight though he started to change his style up and develop more skill. not only that but I watched a lot of interviews with him in them and Manny as a person also grew on me.

Miguel Cotto - Not really sure what put me off about him at first but I didn't hate him, I just wasn't too fond of him but every fight I watched Miguel grew on me more and more until he became one of my favorite fighters.
