A boxer will never get respect from everyone. There always is a hater. I think boxers get more respect when thir time has past and they become legends but no current boxer gets everyone's respect.

Larry Holmes asked the very same question when he was the reigning champion.

awesome dedication to boxing. as the fighter become a champion he will fight champions and top contenders and no tune-up fights or whatsoever.. dedicated to sacrifice his time to train for battle. every battle is for the championship.never duck any fighters.

have multiple titles in diff. division (if not HW).

I had never really been high on Hatton and Calzaghe before their fights with Tszyu/Lacy respectively.

Both guys took the fight to their favored opponents and beat them handily...making sure their was no doubt as to who was the better man.

I was a big Pacquiao fan before the Morales bouts, but he gained even more respect from me after his performance in the 2nd fight.

Performances like those deserve respect.
