The most unpopular fighter of all time?

[Guest]

Give me some suggestions, please, because I was going to do a top ten and make it into a poll - yet all I can think of is the words "John" next to "Ruiz"

Cuz he is one of the only boxers with NO redeeming quality. I mean, only his parents and his corner like him.

Paul Spadafora may fall in that category too.

Johny.....

The most unpopular fighter of all time?

Sonny Liston

[LuKahnLi]

No, people liked Liston.

Hector Macho Camacho & Son
The Price had quite a few haters as well, I liked him.

Besides Ruiz I can only think of Holmes and Lewis. Both og them never got the credit they deserved when they were active.

Prince Naseem Hamed

Too right they didn't and two fine fighters they were at that. Shame really

I can understand Lewis' unpopularity (The guy was boring, never really showed heart in any fight except against Klitschko). But Larry Holmes' lack of fan fare was befuddling to me because he was simply as great a champ as there could be. He was always in exciting fights, took on the best, ducked no one. He is a much better fighter than Lennox Lewis.
