    Brandon Rios. For some reason the dude just rubbed me the wrong way during and after the Peterson fight but I've become a fan. He has a very exciting fighting style and he's freakin hilarious.

      Totally agree with the Froch and Rios mentions.

      I was rooting hard for Taylor when him and Froch fought. But Froch has just worked his way into one of my favorite fighters.

      Rios also used to rub me the wrong way, but now I like him. Moreso than liking him, I just think he's really, really good which I didn't initially.

            oh yeah Haye, how could i forget.

            I wanted him to destroy the brothers when he first went to HW.

            Somewhere along the way I ended up wanting him go get put in a stretcher, and I think it was before the Audley "fight"

                Are there any fighters that you either disliked before you eventually became a fan of them, or liked them before they did something to make you dislike them? For me, I have been a big Khan fan for a while, I even defended him when he got knocked out by Prescott, but more and more I am really starting to dislike the guy. I am getting tired of him always trying to be the center of attention all the damn time and even willing to throw other fighters (Pacquiao) under the bus just to see his damn name in the newspaper. My others:

                I disliked before becoming a fan:
                De La Hoya - won me over with the Quartey win
                Vitali - Became a big fan after watching him kick Lewis' ass
                Winky Wright - Became a fan after I met him


                I liked but eventually would dislike:
                Bernard Hopkins - Throwing down the PR flag and dirty tactics
                Wlad Klitschko - For being soft in fights
                Vic Darchinyan - For the way he acted after the Donaire fight
                I hated Froch. I love that dude now.

                How could you ever dislike Wright! >.<

                  I was in ******* mode after Pac shellacked Barrera. Since he's been at 140+ I don't really care for what he is up to.

                    Dude fights hard. You don't like him because he's a self promoter? Thats kinda crazy.
