Most infuriating boxer
Quite simple which boxer do you find the most infuriating?
Re: Most infuriating boxer
Both Bugner & Foreman for not jabbing Ali.

Too similar to the hate thread, for me.

It is now you've complained in them both 
Re: Most infuriating boxer
Not really. I don't hate any boxer. But a few have ticked me off from time to time.Goodnight, Irene wrote:Too similar to the hate thread, for me.
The one who ticked me off the most: The Louisville Lip, Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali.

James Toney has proven to be annoying. More recently Chavez Jnr.

Wlad, I've stopped watching him because he refuses to commit to his punches until the lamb is literally begging for the slaughter.

Lennox Lewis.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Lewis fan & will never miss an opportunity to big him up, but watching him sometimes was so infuriating.
The fights that most spring to mind were Holyfield 2, when he went into his shell & let Holyfield step up a gear, even causing some to think that Evander deserved the win. Lewis was so much bigger & stronger than Holyfield, yet he seemed almost cowed. Even Riddick Bowe stood up to a prime Holyfield & showed The Real Deal who was boss; Lennox could have done the same against a 37 year old version too.
The Tyson fight was Lewis at his most frustrating. Lewis could have splattered Tyson in about 2 rounds, yet he seemed to fight as if it was the Tyson of 1987.
Even Emanuel Steward was peed off at Lennox during that fight.

Re: Most infuriating boxer
Lewis fought intelligently against Holyfield, if he would have been aggressive he would have lost.
Re: Most infuriating boxer
Ricky Hatton. His act wore thin with me well before he avoided Sharmba Mitchell and Junior Witter. His holding tactics in fights infuriated me.

Jeff Fenech, giving it the big one after drawing with Azumah Nelson. Then getting his ass owned, in his home town in a rematch.

Fenech was pure trash.
Give him his due though, he won the rubber match a few years back

Re: Most infuriating boxer
But no, Judah infuriates me far more. It is the mythology around Ibeabuchi, not the man himself, which kills me.

I used to be on board with Judah. In the last few years after I came to accept that he was a fighter who maximized his potential and was as consistent as any in the sport I began to sympathize with him a bit from a Boxing stand point.

Consistently incapable of dealing with adversity.
A brainless, loud-mouthed punk, in and out of the ring. The way he carries himself in both arenas leaves a lot to be desired.

Oh, he is a complete retard out of the ring and perpetually overrated inside of it. But his shortcomings have always been there, it's the people that continue to overlook them who are at fault. And yes, adversity does not suit him well. I just said he was incredibly consistent, that includes shortcomings.

Re: Most infuriating boxer
Amir Khan is fast turning into mine,
Big fan of his but he seems determined to fight against his strengths, talk absolute rubbbish, and generally spend his time with a bunch of absolute tools.
Danny Williams wound me up a lot aswell, wasted much of his talent and still got a title shot.

Something quite strange going on there, I fear.
