    I don't really have any dislikes for other fighters like that except Love. I like Mayweather a lot more than I like Love.

    I'm simply being a "hater" on Love. I guess this post makes me an imbecile, oh well.

    Love is in great position to offer Rosado that rematch he deserves.
    So you hate the man for no reason at all?? he never even talks..no one i mean no one hyped this man up at all..he isn't ****y, flashy..nothing..just a normal boxer...he didnt even trash talk Rosado...Ellerbe did

      Boxing needs needs guys like Rosado. Prospects can't just go from beating up TBAs straight to title shots. Gatekeepers are an important part of the sport.

          yeah its pretty backwards thinking ive got going on right now. i think a lot of it stems from watching him fight, always thought he's never gonna make it to a championship (so im a bit glad im right, so far).

          i wouldnt say i necessarily "hate" him, i just dont really know. like i said, that post verifies im posting as an imbecile right now. or being an egotistical boxing fan.

          or maybe deep down i just have the dislike for TMT because they're associated with Floyd so ill go ahead and start your next post for you Larry.

          "so you hate them because they're with Floyd and getting paid to box and risk their lives for your entertainment......"

          im not saying i disrespect Love, because i have respect for him because he's a fighter. i just dont like him, and he needs to go headline ESPN FNF for awhile or something. He should fight Austin Trout at 160

            No.

            Love seems like a nice guy, I usually refrain from mocking fighters who get KTFO because I consider that a cowardly thing to do, but I couldn't help myself from smirking at the twerking...

              Not happy to see him lose, more like it was something I was just waiting to happen. He had been skating on thin ice and it finally broke through.

                It's always nice seeing undeserving hype jobs lose.

                  My critique hand is dealt across the entire landscape of boxing with things like this. Simply put, I love it when setups fail. They try to groom a guy for a title fight by fighting guys who are setups and then the ceiling caves in. Love, Badou Jack, and others are really nothing special. But someone is going to give them a TV spot, have it be on the undercard of a matchup between stars, not these guys.

                  Having said that, guys like Jose Benavidez and Jesse Magdaleno make what Love is fighting look like Murderers row. If someone is going to be fair about Love not worthy of a TV spot then so are these prospects and former Olympians who fight CRAP on TV. Guys like Oscar De La Hoya's cousin is always on TV and he is being fed nothing but gravy train stiffs.

If you're good enough you will make it to the top. If you make it that far I will give you your credit. If your not you will fold. Love folded like thousands of others have.

                      He's not the first hyped up prospect to get knocked off track and he won't be the last. If your mad about him getting gift decisions and TV time write to Espinoza and Mayweather Promotions. But Love is just a guy that shows up and fights.
                      Right on the money.
