One fighter OBSESSED with another...

Give some examples of one fighter seemingly being OBSESSED with another fighter, for whatever reason.

Obvioulsy the most recent case is Froch.... who probably sleeps with Calzaghe pillow cases, and cant go through one interview w/o somehow mentioning Joe's name.

Vargas was equally obsessed with Oscar, til DLH finally whupped his ass.

Others?

 

Vargas was the first one that came to mind. I think Oscar stole his heritage from him or something.

 

Vitaly obsessed with Lewis

 

Used to be Hopinks obsessed with Roy

 

Witter with Hatton.

 

:bears:

 

Haye with the Klits

Winky with Oscar,

 

Frazier obsessed with Ali

 

Goddamn beat me to it. That was worse than Froch's obession with Calzaghe. By the end it had become preposterous, with Attraction and other Witter rimming-squad members even claiming that Hatton was ducking Junior...as he prepared to fight Mayweather Jr.

MTF :laughing:

 

Hatton did duck Witter. On purpose. Not out of fear, but to keep Witter from making money off of Hatton's name. A perfectly valid reason, imo, and it caused more harm to Witter than kicking his ass ever would have.

I say that as a fan of both fighters. I think Witter would have had a very good chance against Hatton during his post-Judah days when he was blitzing everyone.

 

I thought this was going to be a thread about Tarver's obsession with Roy, but I see he hasn't even been mentioned yet.

Marquez and Vasquez seem to be obsessed with each other.

 

I think a lot of that has to do with the fact they can't make a decent purse fighting anybody else.

 

You're right. I'd forgotten how bad Tarver had it in for Roy. I think he was calling out Roy 3 fights after turning pro. ::

Even after he had his jaw broken by Eric Harding he was mumbling about Roy. Gotta give the guy credit though, he followed through when he finally got the opportunity.

I thought he was going to fade into oblivion after losing to Harding.

 

tarver with roy

 

Marquez-Pacquiao

 

Disagreed, Hatton was afraid to lose to witter, wich would have been much more damaging to his reputation, than losing to floyd. That was a clear bitch move by Hatton

 

agreed

 

Great call.

 

Tarver with Roy
Mitchell with Tszyu
Marquez with Pacquiao

 

Colin "Sweet C" Macmillan with Naseem Hamed.

 

I wouldn't say Marvin Hagler was obsessed with Tommy Hearns.....but he became obsessed with that fight. For that fight, he pulled out all the stops and prepared like an insane man.

 

Hagler's real obsession was with Leonard.

 

Yes but he walked away after that, rather than dignify the "robbery" with a rematch. Hagler was obsessed, period, but the Hearns thing, especially when Tommy pulled out with an injured hand...the Petronelli's said Hagler's balls nearly dropped when he got the news.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Hagler goes to the firing range and uses this as his target to shoot at.

 

My guess is he misses, all night long, just like he used to.

Mosely with Mayweather.

 

Did you read the topic title TLC? It's one fighter obsessed with another, not one fighter scheduled to fight another.

 

Not anymore he isn't ,.. he's gone completely silent,..... not one word.
