Why do you "Hate" certain fighters?

[bluebeam]

Hate is a strong word and certain boxers get an awful lot of it. Here is a chance for you haters to pipe up, what is it about guys like Mayweather, Broner, Garcia, Fury do you dislike so much? The fact they win, or the fact they talk too much. What exactly turns you off from a fighter?

amir khan

for 3 years he has been talking about fighting elite fighters only too fight

carlos Molina
Julio diaz
luis collazo
devon alexander after alexander got spanked by porter
and now the most dangerous fighter the cage has ever seen chris algeiri

this is why I hate khan

he talks about fighting better people than he actually fights

Sometimes people just have personalities that rub you the wrong way. This is the internet too so any sentiment someone has about a fighter is going to get exaggerated.

Spot on! We amplify everything on the internet. That's why you read stuff like "His mom should have had him aborted" when people would never say something so nasty in person. Plus, it allows us to let loose with the things we don't say in person because we want to be decent.

I have the hardest time with the "swag", "bling", "gangstas and grills" personalities. I just think the world would be such a better place if people like that were given their own little island to live on; somewhere far far away. And, for me, it's not a race thing. As far as who I "think" fighters are as people, Timothy Bradley ranks near the very top of my list. Just seems like a genuinely good guy. His pops too. Hatton, who's white as Casper the ghost, ranked pretty low on mine. He's cheerful enough but he was also a slug and a drunk. Later we found out he was a coke-head too. He was funny though.

I hate fanbases not fighters. For example, I actually really like Cotto, he's always come across as humble and has great heart. His fans are insufferable though which makes it difficult to like him.

The only fighters I really hate are Peter Quillin and Leo Santa Cruz, and that's because represent everything wrong with boxing. Like, if you were to think up a fighter who disgraced the sport in every possible way, they are the prototypes. I strongly dislike Quackenson because of his behavior since winning his title, but he has a chance to redeem himself before I put him on that level.

I can't stand that people group Danny Garcia with those three. Danny Garcia is nothing like them, he has fought good fighters, continues to fight good fighters, and does none of the bull**** those guys do. He had one terrible fight against Salka, and it was okay to hate that fight. I certainly did. It's over now. He's back to good fights again.

I tend to hate on fighters who have ridiculous entitlement issues. Ward, Andrade, Mikey Garcia, the ones who sit out forever and want unrealistic purses to fight anyone.

I hate on Floyd because I don't like him, but I don't hate on his ability at all. He's a great, great fighter and I'd never claim otherwise. Same with Wlad, I hate on him because of his p*ssy way of fighting, but I'd never deny that he's pretty damn good.

I believe it's more race related. I respect all fighters. It's a rough sport. If you get in the ring to get punched in the mouth, all respect to you.

Most comments in this forum is more racial, or to get a response by saying something ******. I

I would agree with you on the Danny Garcia but for the 143lb catchweight. He needs to move up if he's not going to defend his titles. That said, you're right in that he's fought the best and should get credit for that.

To me, it's more cultural. There are some cultures that have a greater representation among different races, but that's not what I see people disliking or hating. There's about as many black "rednecks" as there are white "gangstas". But from these posts, and ALL the negative posts out there, I mostly see people talking about actions and mentalities that they don't like. I've never actually seen a post on here that said, "I hate so and so because he's white and I hate white people". That's just silly.

[nacho daddy]

Ward and his hugging. Wlad bothers me too but I don't "hate" them.


Ward seems like a good guy outside of the ring.

is wlad is a bad guy out of the ring?

[KnockoutNed]

Wlad Klitschko

-legion of ******ed fanboys who know nothing about boxing.

-Only fighter where fanboys have to denigrate legendary fighters in order to make his average skills and poor resume look better.

-If fouls were being strictly counted should have been DQ'd in several fights. Basically doesn't have the boxing skills to fight cleanly.

-has a glass chin and fights like a *****

-requests a sanctioning body to cut the % off of a mando challenger's purse(Pulev)

-ducks fights,yes even in this crappy era(Sanders rematch,Shannon Briggs 2007, Chisora 2x, Fury etc)
