fighters unanimously liked or hated

[banjo]

I've never met somebody who talked nicely about Alan Minter

[danconnollyeire]

Mayorga is a dick

[danconnollyeire]

Andy Lee. Charming, unassuming bloke who always gave his best. And with one punch power.

Yes, I read his autobiography at Christmas. Good read, he speaks highly of Manny Steward (another popular person)

Was delighted he won a title. Deserved it

[ILikeBeer]

Any Chris Eubank Jr. fans in the house?

[danconnollyeire]

Any Chris Eubank Jr. fans in the house?

Yeah they are just delusional.

I miss senior. He‘s not on the scene anymore. I hope he struts back soon.

That’s the one.

Bruno and Cooper were very popular and bugner not

[Monte Fisto]

Everyone loved Bruno.

My dad hated him

I did too

My dad wasn’t a big fan, mainly due to the hype despite his clear limitations in a great era of heavies. I think by the Time he won the title he was happy for him. We were a Lennox household but for their dust up we had a large gathering of folks around the house and it was very pro Bruno.

What cheesed me off most about Bruno was all the title chances and in between he never once beat a top contender to earn his shots.

[Lenny Cravats]

Ricky Burns.

Definitely, good shout. Seems a top bloke.

To us lot from the UK, yeah.

Any neutral observers would probably think differently due to the dodgy decisions.


Richie Woodhall seemed well respected in his day. I've never seen such honesty after a controversial decision than what he displayed after the Catley fight.

Catley himself was also a top bloke. Probably the only person to announce on a live television interview that he's got the jappy crappies then, a few breaths later, ask his girlfriend to marry him.

[semtexreilly]

Everyone loves Herol surely? Baby Jake Matlala was a well liked wee scrapper

Senior was my absolute hero when I was a young boy.

Its funny because beneath the act, posturing and quirky ways, there’s as tough a man as you’ll ever meet. Young Eubank was a pretty menacing fella too.

[Syntax Error]

Nigel Benn - he must be universally liked?

Even if you might not have been rooting for him, you respected his desire, willingness to lay it on the line and fight anyone, no questions asked.

Honourable mention to Marlon Starling -Never seen a bad word said about him.

[dr_devious]

Everyone love Michael Watson

Very true. Given plenty of folk to knock over in order to keep a hype train rolling.

That was the Terry Lawless strategy. It did work to be fair.

[writehooks]

Henry Cooper was despised by Canadians for steadfastly refusing to fight Chuvalo.

[mickey1975]

Henry Wharton never once trash talked an opponent. You couldn’t dislike him.

Henry Wharton never once trash talked an opponent. You couldn’t dislike him.

This is true, although I remember not liking him for a while when Fidel Castro Smith boxed him out of the county and the ref raised Wharton's hand at the end.

Not his fault, obviously, but that was one of the worst robberies ever.

[PredatorHayds]

Everyone loved/loves Danny Williams.
