Most despised active boxer?

Post by twlyall »

With large parts of the UK boxing community fuming about Chris Eubank Jr's latest activities (tweeting "My corner don't own towels" after GGG-Brook), I thought it was a good time to dish out some good old fashioned resentment.
Therefore:
First: Who do you view as the most universally despised active boxer out there at the moment?
Secondly: Who tops your personal s**t list?

Not sure, maybe Stevenson.
Wlad for me.

Forgot my own suggestions:

Most despised currently: Broner. Facing tough competition from likes of Eubank Jr., Stevenson and Canelo on the rise (courtesy of De La Hoya).

My own non-favorites: Ward, Stevenson, Danny Garcia.

Broner...
Broner...
I don't hate him, of course, but his behaviour is extremely disgusting.

Domestically I can't stand Scott Cardle. Internationally Adrien Broner is a pudendum. Away from the ring Angel Garcia is a total fuckin muppet. Bob Arum is sly old dog as is Tommy Gilmour.

Come to think of it I hate more people than I initially thought in the sport!

:lol: Nice one. Kind of felt the same, and had to put some restrictions on my self. There are different levels though: Some boxers I dont like for what they produce inside the ropes (Ward, Klit-brothers, Garcia etc.) and others just put me off with their "sparetime antics" (Broner, Mayweather, Fury etc)

I can not understand anyone despise Wlad. He is a genuine sportsman and gentleman. OK, his style is not so exciting, but, for me it is not a valid reason.

Why? I've never known Wladimir to cause any sh*t or get into any kind of criminal mischief

Andre Ward for me

- smug
- over-privileged
- has no regard or respect for others even his dying promoter, yet claims to be the Son of God
- feeling of entitlement
- selfish, demanding high paydays while his opponents are paid little (Brand got $30,000)
- cheater, worked with PED guru Victor Conte
- dirty fighter
- prima donna
- over-protected, needed home country advantage in the Super Six for every fight
- racist against white people even though his mother abandoned him and his white father raised him.

I don't dislike him, he's the most comical man in boxing.

Tyson Fury is up there, though not for me.

For me personally it's Eubank Jr, always finds a way to sink lower.

Agreed on his personality and professionalism. His style is ungodly, no sportsmen have done anything to me personally. The 'hate' is not literal.

If you see behind the mask, you'll understand he gets into plenty of criminal mischief.

Pacquiao, Wlad, Khan, Fury, Alvarez, Ward, and Andre Dirrell are some of the most hated boxers right now. Of course, Adrian Broner is a bona fide piece of sh*t, so he justifiably gets hated on.

Oops, I misread. I thought it was about Ward.

For me

I find Adrien Broner to be a Mayweather Wannabe that needs to cop a dismantlin so he can realise his level. Andre Ward I find hard to warm to and the cure for insomnia.
