Guys you didn't like but now do...

I can't say I like him, but I do feel a bit sorry for O'Hara Davies, as whatever he is in the ring, he's been a lamb to the slaughter outside it recently - absolutely hung out to dry and clearly baffled and confused by the whole affair. Painfully out of his depth.

Same I didn't like him at first, but I quite quickly felt sorry for him, he's clearly a kid with a lot of daemons. It'd be nice if he could beat them.

Fury, Eubank Jr, DeGale, Calzaghe

I never used to like Spike O'Sullivan or Dave Allen until I started twitter but both are total dudes

I’m the opposite. Previously I thought he was just a bit of an idiot, all wind and pish, and Taylor put him back in his box. He was midly dislikeable but nothing more.

His comments on Twitter were a bit daft and he took too long to apologise but I don’t think he meant what some interpreted it as. However ever since then he’s tried to blame everyone but himself, his interview in IFL was pathetic, everyone’s fault but mine stuff. He came across as pretty weak character to be honest and to me just made himself look more dislikebale than he already was!

I think he's thick.

Julian Assange. I used to despise him now I think he’s a hero.

Ps Assange once had an impressive amateur career so is boxing related

He’s thick as sh!t.

I didn't like Nigel Benn when he was coming through, he seemed like a loud mouth bully. Changed my mind after the way he accepted defeat against Michael Watson gracefully and came back in America, the Barkley blowout sealed it for me. Ended up revering him after this

excellent post

He also took the Eubank loss like a real man, despite (in his own words post-fight) 'despising' Eubank he still gave him his due

And the MCchellan fight should have sealed it.

I already revered Nigel before the McClellan fight, He wasn't intimidated by the G Man who at that time was truly fearsome. Brilliant fight, tragic ending.

My Nigel love was at its zenith in the lead up to the McClellan fight. In the pressers he was defiance personified, not intimidated by the G Man at all who at that time was truly fearsome. Brilliant fight, tragic ending.

I don't mind Canelo now. Couldn't stand him for a couple of years.

I used to hate Leo Santa Cruz then liked him after the first Frampton fight. Now I can't stand him again because of his pathetic need for a tune up fight before rematching Abner Mares a guy he has already beaten.

There's loads of guys I used to like and can't stand now. I'd be here all day going on about that !

[Heretic]

I used to hate Chisora.

I still think hes massive pudendum but I have started to respect him a bit. He has been good for boxing. One of the few who would face anyone... And always all action in the ring.

Boxing definitely needs more Chisoras around.

[KiwiRider]

Brazeale.
Didn't like him, thought he didn't train properly and had no real skills.
Then one fight changed that. And I'm a fan. As fickle as a chick, I am.

Amir khan,i used to hate him but since the jungle iv grown to like him.

Bellew,used to give him pure sh1t on here but think "good on him,he has achieved everything ppl go into the pro game for" well done tony.

[jamamb]

rocky fielding. one of those guys i started to like because felt others werent giving him a fair shake. feel hes one of the more underrated in the brit scene and hes had some fun fights/explosive power showings.

bellew too was kind of like this for me.

Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte, Klitschko
