Who is the most well liked active fighter ?

[Nagabilly]

I'd say Martinez, followed by Froch. I don't see much hate directed towards them.

I was going to say Andre Ward, but after the trash talk with Mayweather that's probably not true anymore. Martinez isn't universally liked anymore, and Froch is disliked by a lot of the fans who pretend they're better fans than you because all of their favorites are defensive fighters.

Probably Rigondeaux now. We'll see how long that lasts though, by next week people may be talking trash about him again.

Pac (depending on who your talking to)
Floyd (depending on who your talking to)
Ward (universal)
Canelo (Mexicans)
Martinez (universal)
Cotto (Puerto Ricans)

People are already trashing Rigo calling him boring and "overrated over one fight".


There's no well known fighter everybody unanimously likes. It use to be Marquez before he blew Pac's top off and is now labeled a drug cheat by rabid fans. Maybe the closest is Martinez but he's got his share of detractors as well.

I would say Froch. He maybe not be a lot of people's favorite fighters, but i see that almost everyone respects him and he has very few haters

On this site, it's more about who is the least hated.

I hate to admit it but Pre-Rigo Nonito deserves a mention

Then the answer is no one.

Froch is a good one, although I could see some sensitive fans not liking his personality outside the ring (I think he's hilarious).

Can't see why anybody would hate on Cotto as well.

Austin Trout is a guy who doesn't get a lot of hate up this point.

What? Donaire got killed around here, he was probably the most hated non-Mayweather or Pacquiao fighter on NSB.

The answer to this question really was Andre Ward, easily, before the Mayweather stuff. It still might be.
