The most Universally disliked boxer on these boards?
Very random discussion but I've got 6 more hours of work ahead and let's face it we enjoy bitching about certain fighters.
Who gets it the worst here though, who is generally held in the lowest regard by the majority of posters? I have a feeling it's Paul McCloskey. Or possibly Fury...
And away we go!

Fury by a country mile. Khan next. Both too uppity for the chattering classes who pollute these boards.

Never been a fan of Khan.
Not to fond of Clev either. Hope Floyd loses his next fight.

Re: The most Universally disliked boxer on these boards?
Fury is probably the most ridiculed and / or disliked, but he shouldn't be really. Personally I've never been as harsh on him as most others and feel that much of the stick he gets is unwarranted. Ditto with Khan, who admittedly gave people a few reasons to dislike him back in the day but who has really smartened himself up in that respect in the past two or three years.
McCloskey is an excellent shout, though. Margarito of course, though he's retired now. Broner's on his way too. Not sure if he's going to fight again, but Anthony Small has just about universal 'acclaim' for being a massive helmet, too.

Price gets a bit of stick too. Manny of course. I'd say Degale would have to be up there, seems to be universally disliked (the v2 universe that is). I don't really remember anyone on here that could be accused of being a Degale fanboy.

I like Degale.
I think Povetkin provokes pretty universally bad feeling.

Active or retired?
If it's active then I've never been a fan of Pacquiao's but I realise he's hardly a universal choice. If I can include retired ones then Hatton, Eubank and Ray Leonard jump quickly to mind.

Small is right up there.
I can't help but watch Tyson Fury - simply because he's so unpredictable. Never know if he's gonna smash himself in the face, get decked/wobbled, dance the funky chicken or go southpaw. Plus there how he sees himself. It's great entertainment, if not great boxing!
Think Khan gets a bit of stick but that's down to his utter idiocy on Twitter and self-worship. He actually has the boxing skills but no chin.
Povetkin is an under-achiever and a ducker. He should be made to fight Wlad or not be allowed to fight again.
DeGale is a bit of a playground bully but he has toned it down since the Groves fight. I am actually warming to him. (Can't believe I have just said that...)
I think Kevin Mitchell is a horrible little man.
Haye I liked until the Wlad fight. The realisation he wasn't good enough but wouldn't admit it won him few friends. Thing is, I still like to watch him & I don't really know why.
Herbie Hide...

"When I see David Haye, I'm going to physically... Right... Burn him, so you say to him that I said that, yeah!"

Re: The most Universally disliked boxer on these boards?
To say he's generally such an undivise personality with an exciting style and not a bad word to say about anyone, it always surprises me how Pacquiao is so readily stripped of his ATG status. Maybe a lack of respect more than hate.
Cleverly doesn't get anywhere near the hate of, say, Mayweather, but he doesn't get the considerable praise to balance it out either. Fury's turning some people I think. The people who tuned in to watch Naz get knocked out then cheered him on when he finally looked like losing, they'll be cheering on the loose cannon lovable oaf soon enough.
