What fighters do you watch, hoping they get knocked out?

[oldgringo]

I also root against anyone who fights or has ever fought Morales, Toney, Whitaker, Hagler, Holyfield, etc...

I didn't root for anyone in the Toney/Holyfield fight, although I already knew what was going to happen and was very sad to see Evander lose like that.

Ruiz, Rahman, Tito, Tarver, Morales, and Cotto are all fighters I have looked foward to seeing them on the canvas looking up.

Since then I have learned to like Cotto. Tito is retired. I never disliked Morales, I just wanted Manny to win and saw no chance of him getting a UD/SD. There will still be a smile on my face watching Ruiz, Rock, and Tarver taking a 10 second nap.

The difference between Cotto and Wlad is that Wlad hasn't looked good in FOUR YEARS. Cotto at the worst case scenario has look bad to average the last 2 or 3 fights.

Plus we know Cotto isn't a ***** either.

This is funny. I don't see why some of you root for a fighter to get knocked out simply because he has an average chin.

I don't see how you name drop Cotto and then follow it by saying "because he has a weak ass chin that's going to be exposed". We already know his chin isn't stellar, but he's the most exciting fighter at 140 today.

I don't root against guys like Wlad K because he has a weak chin, more because he fights like a puss and appears to be mentally weak. He possesses the talent that his brother does not but he has the toughness of a wet noodle. Cotto gets tagged with a really good shot and he fires back while trying to stay up and put on a show. This is largely the reason why I don't root against Corrales...he's very similar to Cotto.

The only guys I've really ever wanted to get knocked out badly are Felix Trinidad (because he beat up on my favorite fighter ever), Wladimir Klitschko (reasoning above), and Sven Ottke for being such a giant piece of holiday miracle receiving ****.

Im surprised no one said Naseem or Malignaggi or Junior Witter.

hmm

1. Wlad Klitschko-pure hype. Fragile chin. Obsessive fans.
2. Winky Wright-boring. No offense. Fights scared.
3. Chris Byrd-boring. Bible scripture chanting. Weak.

Obsessive fans? Hmm...I guess you hate Tito as well.

Fights scared? All he does is hold his guard high and walk guys down. Holding your guard high means your scared. Pretty judgemental there.

Bible quoting? And? I guess you're some kind of antichrist? Nothing wrong with that. He is boring as hell though.

No point in wishing for fighters to get KO'd. It's lame. Wishing brain damage on someone is dumb. I wouldn't even wish that on Tarver. If he got KO'd by Tyson, I'd be only somewhat glad he lost, and I'd be concerned about his health.

A) Does Byrd really need to say "the lord is my shepard I shall not want" while boxing?

B) Winky fought Tito scared. He could have knocked Tito down at least but instead of attempting to land a punch that could hurt Tito, he kept jabbing.

Did I mention Tito's the smaller fighter?

If you watch the knockdowns against Sanders he tried hard to get up...and he did! But the ref had seen enough and ruled a TKO. I wouldn't call Wlad a ***** when he fights against the top-level guys in one of the most brutal sports in the world and has the chance of dieing at any moment. Maybe if he died he wouldn't be such a *****?

Byrd can say what he likes. It's a free country. He's not dissing other religions like Naseem did.

Winky never fought Tito "scared". If he was scared he would have been tired from nervous energy alone. He was totally relaxed and calm. If you wanna see scared watch certain parts of Wlad-Peter and Forrest-Mayorga II.

Boring he was. Scared? Not even close.

You mean a fighter boxing a smaller fighter who is close to knocking the other smaller fighter out, but continues to "box" isn't scared?

What did Naseem say about other religions?

Yeah, props to all fighters, but seriously these fighters are killing the sport in my opinion.

I was hoping Mosley and Tito could knock Winky out and I dont care what heavy knocks out Byrd.

Wlad is clearly the worst, because he has the HBO hype machines behind him. If I bought into HBO's propaganda, I would think Peter was the second coming of Ali

I dont hope any fighter gets knocked out, I dont like Floyd's attitude, but oh well. I see your points but Wlad's not ALL hype. His offensive arsenal is better than anyone's at HW, whether you like it or not. I've only hoped for Tito to lose in the past, because of his maniacal, rabid fans.
