    What are some traits or characteristics about fighters that you LIKE that you dislike

    My question is are there some fighters that you DO like that you are fans of, but maybe they do something or have a certain trait or characteristic that you dont like?

    Here are mine.

    1. Tim Bradley- He's too emotionally invested in what the fans think about him as a person and fighter and he takes these emotions in the ring with him and its lowers his overall ability. He almost ruined his entire career because he wanted to prove something to "fans" by going to war with the russian and had multiple concussions and almost lost. I made a thread a while back stating that boxers that easily succumb to emotions from fans are mentally weaker and it shows.

    2. Marquez and Nacho Beristine (trainer)- While these guys were able to pull of a masterful performance by putting the overrated hypejob to sleep last year, Im tired of the constant excuses from the Bradley loss. They are even saying that he ran from him and that's why Juan lost I mean come on. It's calling BOXING and he used movement to school Juan and they cry robbery?? Pacquiao 1 2 and 3 were robberies but not Bradley. Stop saying people are running from you when you lose a fight.

      Bradley fought like a fool in the Provodnikov fight. When he was boxing him, he was winning in a landslide but then out of nowhere just start wailing away recklessly

        #2 reminds me of the crying from both Hopkins and his stans with Calzaghe.

          For no.1 : Did you ever consider that your opinion is just that, your opinion not a fact. How do you know Bradley chose to fight that way? How do you know it wasn't "the Russian" who forced him to fight that way?
          Also saying you made a thread before about something is exactly and only that, saying you made a thread. It doesn't help or make it factual, it's just your opinion.

          For no.2: Calling a boxer like Pacquiao an overrated hypejob.....wow your opinion I mentioned earlier has no value in terms of boxing. You don't have to be a fan to know Manny is no hypejob, anyone who calls him that is talking nonsense.

              I like fighters who don't complain or cry 'robbery' every time they lose. Or fighters who don't acknowledge when they've robbed another fighter.

              I do like fighters who are are more or less humble but turn into animals when they get in the ring like GGG or Pacquiao.
